Sonos is a popular brand of wireless (and also wired) speakers, fully compatible with AirPlay. This brand has become popular among iOS users and Apple in general because of how well they marry the devices, however, it is the quality of its headphones that has catapulted it to success. But as always, the quality is paid, and Sonos does not have affordable speakers in its catalog. However, the relationship between this sound specialist company and Apple is quite good, we had already seen other previous releases, but now We inform that the Sonos PLAY 1 and PLAY 5 will be available in the Apple Store from October 5.
These speakers are characterized by their easy setup, simplicity of use, and extreme audio quality. The problem is that the Sonos PLAY 1 costs around € 200, while the Sonos PLAY 5 does not go below € 500. The difference between these speakers and others is that they are connected by WiFi, and not by Bluetooth, minimizing the loss of sound quality, and being fully compatible, we repeat what was said, with AirPlay. That is why there are many specialists who are quick to recommend them for users who have several Apple devices at home.
The expansion of our collaboration with Apple is a great example of what we are working to improve the entire ecosystem with our colleagues, to make it easier than ever to listen to quality music at home. Sonos is a complete experience, we are proud to provide Apple fans with the ability to purchase our speakers directly from the Apple Store - Patrick Spence (President of Sonos).
From today it is possible to get hold of these Sonos devices in the Apple Store Online, but the most relevant thing is that from the day October 5 will reach 468 Apple Stores around the world.
I would say that at the moment they are not compatible with AirPlay but you have to use the Sonos app. I hope that in the future they update it so that it is possible to control the speakers without going through their App.
