HOW ABOUT SONOS HOME WIRELESS SPEAKER BRAND INTRODUCTION

As of March 2018, SONOS has about 6.9 million home users worldwide, with an average of nearly 3 audio devices per customer.
 
SINCE ITS INCEPTION, SONOS' GOAL WAS TO CREATE A MULTI-ROOM WIRELESS SOUND SYSTEM, SO SONOS' BIGGEST ADVANTAGE OVER OTHER BRANDS ON THIS LIST IS NOT THE HARDWARE, BUT THE SOFTWARE AND THIRD-PARTY RESOURCES. SONOS integrates almost all common music platforms into the app, so users can search and listen to their favorite audio content across platforms by simply linking their accounts at the time of setup. In addition, the SONOS app on iOS has built-in Trueplay adjustments, which can collect reflected sound waves through the phone's microphone to analyze the size, layout, and placement of the speakers in the room to adjust the output sound effect.
 
The three speakers of the Play series are frequent visitors to the list of wireless speakers on major websites,Play:1,Play:3,Play:5The three speakers are different in size and power,Arranged by number from small to large。
 
Play:1Price1580element,It is the most popular product of SONOS,Although this speaker is small in size,The sound quality is unambiguous。 In terms of detail alone, it is even better than the Play:3, a higher model in the Play series. Due to the low price of the Play:1, many users will buy two to form a stereo pair for a more detailed and open sound. At present, SONOS has also launched a Play:1 smart version of SONOS ONE, priced at about 2000 yuan, but the built-in Alexa smart assistant is not supported in China for the time being, and the cost performance is slightly lower.
 
The flagship Play:5 is ranked third in the U.S. Consumer Reports, with punchy low frequencies and excellent treble detail and extension, making it ideal for use in living rooms and other larger rooms. Single Play:5Price4580element,Stereo sound can already be realized,But when two Play:5 are formed into a stereo pair,The three-frequency performance is more balanced。
 
If the budget is about 2500 yuan, you can also buy the mid-range model of the Play seriesPlay:3,This speaker is also a stereo speaker,Although the speaker unit is less than Play:5,But the sound performance is similar。 In addition, Play:3 can also be wall-mounted, which can save users a lot of desk space.
 
THE BIGGEST SHORTCOMING OF SONOS IS THAT IT DOES NOT SUPPORT BLUETOOTH, SUCH AS AS AN EXTERNAL SPEAKER FOR VIDEO PLAYBACK, THE SOUND AND PICTURE WILL BE OUT OF SYNC, SO IT IS STILL MORE RECOMMENDED FOR MUSIC LOVERS.
