Simply plug in the power cable and you're all set to stream audio from the record player to your Sonos-compatible speaker. This Stream Onyx ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a little different than the rest of Victrola's offerings-it streams exclusively to Sonos speakers. It's a solid speaker for those who are already part of the Sonos ecosystem and are looking for a speaker they won't take beyond their living room or backyard. You'll have the choice between Amazon Alexa or Sonos Voice Control.

It's worth noting that, unlike the first Move, the latest version doesn't have support for Google Assistant. It also comes equipped with a second tweeter (both of which fire on both the left and right above the mid/bass driver) and a third digital amplifier-delivering punchy, detailed sound. It packs 24 hours of battery life (a major increase from 11 hours on its predecessor), a touch interface for media controls (instead of physical buttons), and the option to connect via Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi (the original Move was strictly Bluetooth or Wi-Fi when in use). The Sonos Move 2 ( 8/10, WIRED Reviews) isn't as portable as the Roam-it weighs in at 6.1 pounds while the Roam is 0.95 pounds-but the second-generation version comes with a fair share of upgrades (which explains the higher price). If you opt for the Sonos companion app, you can adjust EQ, tune the speakers to your environment via the TruePlay feature, and pair other Sonos speakers together. In the back, you'll find a socket for power, a switch to mute the mics, a USB-C auxiliary input, and a button for Bluetooth pairing (which means you don't have to use the Sonos app to control it).

It's worth noting that it supports Amazon and Apple's spatial audio catalog, but not Tidal's library of Dolby Atmos content.Īs with the Era 100, the Era 300 has physical controls including a volume slider, play/pause, skip forward/backward, and voice-assistant interaction (with a choice between Amazon Alexa and Sonos Voice Control). With sound that spreads in all directions and for a substantial distance without lacking definition, we think the Era 300 surpasses the Apple HomePod by a wide margin when filling rooms. The standout feature, however, is spatial audio. Under the hood are six speaker drivers, four tweeters, and a couple of mid/bass drivers-all of which deliver detailed, big, and confident sound. The Sonos Era 300 ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends) has a rather awkward and startling appearance (we think it looks like a robot's butt), but the sound quality makes up for it.
