Today the company announced that for a limited time, you\u2019ll be able to buy two Sonos One smart speakers for $349 \u2014 the price of a single HomePod. Sonos isn\u2019t specifying how long the promotion, which officially kicks off tomorrow, will last. After an initial delay, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/1\/23\/16922682\/apple-homepod-release-date-announced-preorders\">HomePod is set to launch on February 9th<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HyIjqf\">The Sonos One has Amazon Alexa voice integration built in, and the company has promised to add Google Assistant to the device as well sometime in 2018. Users can speak out voice commands to play music on Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, and other services, though Apple Music isn\u2019t among them. But much like the company\u2019s other speakers, the Sonos One fully supports playing Apple Music content through the Sonos app on a smartphone or PC.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Two is better than one.

And indeed, Sonos allows you to integrate accounts from a wide range of music services.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mwzWLq\">But each company has at least some way of keeping things \u201copen\u201d on their respective speakers. Google Home lets users stream music from countless apps on their phone via Google Cast (or plain old Bluetooth). The Echo also supports Bluetooth playback for services that Alexa doesn\u2019t work with, and Apple\u2019s AirPlay has seen wide adoption among media apps. (Sonos has said it plans to add AirPlay 2 support to the Sonos One, which will allow you to control it with Siri.) But the message from Sonos is clear: the company insists it gives customers more flexibility and less hassle than what\u2019s on offer from \u201cbig tech.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"TsCURt\">And now it\u2019s getting out in front of the HomePod by offering two Sonos One speakers for $350. That gives new customers an immediate path into multi-room audio\u00a0<em>right away<\/em>, whereas Apple has only said the HomePod will do multi-room \u201clater this year.\u201d Does the HomePod outperform a single Sonos One? It\u2019s very possible. But remember that you can stereo pair the two speakers you\u2019d be getting here, and that comparison might not work out so well for Apple.<\/p>\n<p id=\"jwNVyN\">Last year, Apple began selling Sonos speakers at its retail stores. So far, the Sonos One hasn\u2019t been included in that partnership.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0theverge.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple\u2019s HomePod hasn\u2019t started shipping yet, but Sonos is already making moves to protect its rule over the multi-room audio market.
