The Sonos One speaker that will incorporate Amazon’s Alexa voice service

New York:

Sonos made a host of announcements at an event in New York City on Wednesday, including a brand-new speaker—the Sonos One speaker that will incorporate Amazon’s Alexa voice service. And in a pledge to continue being service agnostic, Sonos CEO Patrick Spence said the Sonos One will also incorporate the Google Assistant in 2018. Sonos is taking preorders for the $199 speaker now and plans to ship it on October 24

As with previous Sonos speakers, you’ll be able to use the Sonos One independently, as a stereo pair, or as surround speakers in a home theater, backing up a Sonos Playbar or Playbase. You’ll also be able to use voice commands to control other Sonos speakers, even ones that don’t support voice commands natively reported website techhive.com
