1. MULTIROOM CAPABLE SOUND SYSTEM
Sonos is a multi-room capable sound system that delivers great sound no matter where you are. You can listen to the same song in all of the rooms where you have a Sonos speaker, or you can listen to a different song in each room. It's entirely up to you.
2. CLEAR SPEECH OUTPUT
Sonos soundbars give you clear, intelligible dialogue and speech even at low volumes .... easily done by activating Speech Enhancement Mode in the Sonos app. That way, you don't have to keep turning the volume up and down between dialogue and action scenes in a film.
3. Bluetooth
The mobile Sonos speakers (Move, Roam, Roam SL) are not only multi-room capable Sonos speakers connected via Wi-Fi, but they also have Bluetooth if you need to take the speaker with you outside Wi-Fi range. So, these speakers give you a 2-in-1 solution that accompanies you wherever you want to listen to music.
4. EASY TO SET UP VIA YOUR WIFI
Plug in the speaker, download the app, connect it to your Wi-Fi, a quick setup and you're ready for great sound.
5. EXPAND AS MUCH AS YOU WANT
Start with 1 or 2 speakers and expand your system at a later date at your convenience meaning you don't have to worry about how many speakers you want to install where and how when you initially buy the system.
6. LISTEN TO EVERY SONG IN THE WORLD ON SONOS. WITHOUT LIMIT
Listen to the radio via Sonos Radio, TuneIn, etc. Stream music from your streaming service. Connect your record player to your Sonos speaker and play the song from the record in the other rooms if you like. Stream any content directly to your Sonos speakers via Airplay 2.
7. VOICE CONTROL OR APP
