Sonos is finally a speaker for the moden era. This wireless high-quality sound system works by connecting to an online or local sound source. Using their “fill every room” software, you can connect up to a maximum of 32 devices using a secure wireless mesh network calla Sonosnet.

Not only does the Sonos sound system play music stored locally on a computer or smart device, it also can utilize a large number of apps and services that allow you to truly customize your player for your own tastes. It even includes ways to find new music while mixing in some old favorites.
The Sonos player allows for apps like Apple Music, Spotify, Napster, Deezer, Soundcloud, and Rdio to be used to offer what seems an almost unlimited number of choices on what you listen to.

If you get the right equipment (for example, a nice receiver) you will most likely have the option of using a Speaker A/B switch to hook up a second set of speakers. All you need for this is to properly run your speaker wire from your speakers to your receiver and you’re good to go.

With the rise of the “internet of things” having your devices connected via WiFi or some other wireless means has become more and more common. Many leading audio companies have taken advantage of this to create an experience that is more natural and efficient in your daily lives. One service that successfully utilizes the IoT is Spotify. The service allows you to start music on one device and continue or cast it to another, spotify-connected device. This can be done over the internet, but other services exist for local networks.
Google and its Chromecast product allow for a similar “casting” of audio to different devices. The small HDMI or AUX connecting devices allow you to wirelessly connect multiple audio systems in your house effortlessly by connecting to your home network. Not only are these little devices easy-to-use, they are cost effective coming in at just about $35.
