  • Sonos launches pre-orders for the Sonos One smart speaker featuring Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Alexa integration and multi-room functionality.
  • Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) AirPlay 2 and Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Assistant support coming in 2018.
  • The One has six far-field microphones to catch voice commands but the voice-activated services are limited at launch to Pandora, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Sirius XM, and iHeartRadio. Spotify support will get added later.
  • The Sonos One will ship October 24 and costs $199.
  • The price puts the One closer to the recently announced Amazon Echo Plus ($149) than the newly announced Google Home Max ($399) or the expected price for Apple’s HomePod.
  • Sonos has previously stayed at the luxury end of the speaker market but now borrows from Amazon’s approach of dominating the market through a wider range of product prices.
