Macbook To Sonos

Posted on |



A new portable speaker by Sonos, Sonos Roam, just leaked online. It will measure 6.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 inches, which is smaller than the company’s first portable speaker Sonos Move and similar to other speakers in the market, such as UE Boom and JBL Xtreme.

Sonos Roam’s image and features were leaked by the Verge. The portable speaker is set to be priced at $169 and will come with a USB charging cable. Roam will also be able to be charged with a wireless charging dock, sold separately for $49.

Available in either black or white, the Sonos Roam will be able to play audio over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on the go. Battery life is expected to be around 10 hours on a full charge, and it will be fully waterproof.

Lay your fingers on the Force Touch trackpad that still leaves plenty of room for multi-touch gestures and even drawing.

  • Sonos Playbar is the mountable soundbar for TV, movies, music, and more. Enjoy crisp dialogue and impressive bass from wall to wall with Playbar. Control it with the Sonos app, your remote, and more. Enjoy crisp dialogue and impressive bass from wall to wall with Playbar. Control it with the Sonos app, your remote, and more.

Sonos Arc Black Bring all of your entertainment to life with the realistic sound of the Sonos Arc ARCG1AU1BLK, featuring Dolby Atmos. With the Arc you can stream music, radio, podcasts, and more from your favourite services with the Sonos app or Apple AirPlay 2 when the TV is off.

Sono has confirmed that is going to announce a new product on March 9. According to the Verge, current plans call for the Roam to ship a month later on April 20.

While Sonos Move had loud and full sounds and integrated with AirPlay 2 and Siri, the portable speaker was criticized for being too big and heavy to travel with, and 10-hour battery life wasn’t enough. It is, however, unclear if the new Sonos Roam will feature AirPlay 2 integration.

For $169, Sonos Roam’s price is in between HomePod and HomePod mini. While the HomePod needs to be connected all the time to power, we will have to wait and see if Roam behaves like the Move speaker, connecting to other Sonos speakers for whole-home audio, or will have a different approach.

With a smaller form factor and lower price, the Sonos Roam could be what the company was missing the first time, but we’ll have to wait and see for sure.

If you’re a Sonos user looking to bring deeper iPhone, iPad, and Siri integration to your smart speakers, Soro is a new iOS app to accomplish just that. The app is designed to give you additional features for controlling your Sonos speakers with Siri and the Shortcuts app.

The developer explains the idea behind Soro:

Soro extends Siri and the Shortcuts app with 24 new actions to control your Sonos speakers. Create quick actions and workflows to control your speakers with the Shortcuts app using widgets, Siri voice commands, or automations.

Using these Soro actions in the Shortcuts app, you can create a variety of powerful automations to control your Sonos speakers. For example, you could create a shortcut that sets the volume, groups multiple speakers together, and begins playing your music, all without actually interacting with the Sonos app itself.

Once you create the Sonos automations in the Shortcuts application, you can then use your custom Siri phrase to control your Sonos speakers. You can also run the shortcuts directly from the Shortcuts application, or by adding the Shortcuts widget to your iPhone or iPad’s home screen.

And if you don’t know where to start, Soro includes a variety of example automations that can show you some possible automations. Soro is available on the App Store as a one-time purchase of $5.99, with no other in-app purchases or subscriptions.
