After the self-induced tumult Sonos has gone through<\/a> this year, I can understand why some people are reluctant to spend money on the company\u2019s products. But newly appointed CEO Tom Conrad<\/a> has shown that he\u2019s determined to get back on track and revitalize Sonos as the leading whole-home audio brand. The contentious mobile app is in a much better place now than it was last year, though some customers still encounter bugs and the frustration of speakers randomly vanishing from their system. It\u2019s not all roses, but the situation is moving in the right direction \u2014 and I took Sonos\u2019 decision to cancel its video player<\/a> as a promising sign of renewed focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not about to sell any of my Sonos gear. For one, the company\u2019s whole-home platform offers conveniences that competitors don\u2019t match \u2014 at least not without hassle. Most of the time, I\u2019m streaming from Apple Music, Spotify, or YouTube Music. But if I\u2019m watching a sports game on my TV, I can pipe the audio from my Sonos soundbar to a speaker in a different room to follow the action. Playing something over Bluetooth? With most of the company\u2019s recent speakers, you can do the same thing and spread that music across your entire Sonos system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why you should trust my Sonos recommendations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve covered Sonos extensively for several years at The Verge<\/em>. This has included reporting on the company\u2019s latest news, reviewing a lengthy list of Sonos products, and bringing attention to the app fiasco, which eventually led to the ouster of former CEO Patrick Spence. Audio and home theater are two of my primary focus areas in product reviews, so I\u2019m well-versed when it comes to determining whether a speaker or soundbar is great \u2014 or just another also-ran product.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I wouldn\u2019t fault anyone for waiting to see where Sonos and its app go from here, especially given that Sonos recently raised prices on a number of products\u00a0\u2014 including soundbars and smart speakers \u2014 due to the ongoing tariff situation in the US<\/a>. The company still makes some genuinely terrific hardware, however, so if you\u2019re wondering which are the true standouts, I\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n
