Sonos has never had more speaker options than it does now.
Once known primarily for its multi-room audio system, Sonos has branched out into soundbars and portables so you can spread sound throughout your home and beyond.
But more options mean harder decisions to make when it comes to which Sonos speaker to buy.
Which one should you start with if you're new to Sonos?
What should be the next addition to your existing system?
We'll break it all down for you.
Best Home Speaker: Sonos One
Buy it on Amazon for
USD$309 or
MX$4,999
The Sonos One is great for first-time Sonos buyers or as an addition to an existing Sonos system because it can do so much.
A single One delivers spacious sound with good bass and clear vocals, which is impressive for a device that's just over 6 inches tall.
But pair two Ones together and you'll be amazed at the width of the stereo sound they produce.
You can even use Ones with a Sonos Arc or Beam sound bar to create true surround sound while watching your TV.
Beyond sound quality, the One is loaded with features.
It comes with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant inside (although you can only activate one at a time), so you can use your voice to play music and control your smart devices.
If you don't want voice control, you can save a few bucks by getting the Sonos One SL (
USD$299 or
MX$4,699).
Best Portable Speaker: Sonos Roam
Buy it on Amazon for
USD$179 or
MX$4,499
We chose the Sonos Roam as the best Bluetooth speaker, offering the sound quality you expect from Sonos with the benefits of portability.
It is waterproof and can handle bumps without breaking.
Its 10-hour battery life isn't as good as some Bluetooth speakers, like the Ultimate Ears Boom 3 (15 hours), but it's enough for a party.
The flexibility of the Roam is what sets it apart.
You can connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, so when you're at home it can be part of your larger Sonos system, but you're not limited when you want to take it with you.
Like the One, it works with Alexa or Google Assistant and has automatic TruePlay, so it adjusts the sound to its surroundings without you having to do anything.
Best sound bar: Sonos Arc
Buy it on Amazon for
USD$1,038 or
MX$19,999
The Sonos Arc is one of the best soundbars since its release and is our top recommendation for people willing to splash out on one.
It delivers big, room-filling sound when watching movies or shows, and produces impressive low-end even though it doesn't come with a subwoofer.
With support for Dolby Atmos, the Arc provides accurate surround sound even without separate rear speakers.
Or you can add two Ones and the Sub for true 5.1 sound.
The Arc sounds just as good playing music as it does when you're watching TV.
What you need to know about Sonos speakers
Sonos speakers offer excellent sound quality across the line, and are easier to set up and use than most multi-room systems.
But they're not cheap: the Roam SL is the least expensive.
You'll need the free Sonos app to set up and control the devices.
The app allows you to create groups of speakers, play the same music in different rooms, or you can play different songs on each unit.
The app also allows you to adjust the sound to better match what you like to listen to.
If you prefer, you can use Apple's AirPlay 2 or Spotify Connect to play songs on the speakers instead of going through the Sonos app.
All of the speakers we recommend here use the Sonos S2 app.
If you have older Sonos devices, they may only be compatible with Sonos S1, its original app.
You cannot mix S1 and S2 speakers in a group.
