Earlier today, Apple started taking pre-orders for their 1st smart speaker: the HomePod. To combat the pricing of Apple’s speaker, Sonos is selling their latest smart speaker in a 2-pack bundle which would cost the same as a HomePod.
So instead of shelling out $350 on an unproven speaker, you can get 2 Sonos One speakers which sound amazing paired up for the same price. You can use them in stereo or separately in different rooms. Apple utilizes only Siri as a virtual assistant while the One offers Alexa & Google Assistant support coming sometime this year.
The silly thing about it is that the HomePod will only support Apple Music which is one of the only music streaming services that don’t offer free trials. While the Sonos One offers support for Spotify, Pandora, Google Play, Amazon Music, & more. Funny enough, Apple Music isn’t part of that more section though.
