Sonos

A Sonos wireless home speaker system works with available home connectivity to provide audio throughout the house. The speakers are controlled through an app to access streaming services, radio stations, and a local music library. The Sonos system requires a power source and internet connection to operate.

How does Sonos work?

The wireless speakers use the home's connection to stream music and television audio. Although it operates through an app, Sonos is different than Bluetooth since it connects directly to through Wi-Fi and operates independently of the iPhone, tablet, or computer. Once activated, the app does not have to stay open for the music to continue. There are no music interruptions to take a phone call. Also, each speaker connects wirelessly so that different songs or programs can be played in different rooms. A single app controls all of the speakers.
