Do you need to play music in your business? Set up a Cinema at Home? Do you want to listen to music anywhere? Read on and we'll break down some of the options Sonos has for you.

Choosing the Sonos you need is an important decision, they are not in a cheap price range and I'm sure you want to get it right the first time, So we are going to show you the models that we recommend according to the needs you may have. 

If you do not identify with any of the cases we present, do not hesitate to contact us and we will advise you personally.

I just want to listen to music, but with good quality and anywhere.

If you are looking for speaker mobility, you have it easy, the Sonos Move The one we talked about previously is your ideal option. Not only is it comfortable to transport and has a battery that lasts up to 10 hours, but it is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, such as dust, sunlight or splashes, ideal for having music in the pool without losing a bit of quality, since that this Sonos regulates itself with its microphones and the True Play function integrated taking into account ambient noise.

If mobility is not very important to you, you can still choose the models Sonos One or Sonos One XL, with similar features in terms of sound, but dependent on the App to use the True Play function. If the quality of these still isn't enough for you, you can still pick up Sonos' top-quality range of wireless speakers, the Sonos Play 5, more uncomfortable to move than the rest, but definitely with higher sound quality.

I want to put music in my business.

In this case you want the music to be heard perfectly throughout the store, This makes the client's visit more pleasant, and that is why you should invest in a quality sound system. The best option is undoubtedly the speaker options Sonos built-ins, el In-Cell especially, that it is placed on the ceiling and offers great sound without suffering from barriers such as shelves, for example, as would happen with the wall version, Sonos In-Wall.

Another option is to use compact speakers that Sonos offers, but these require a holding arm and can be more expensive unless you opt for any version of Sonos One, but at the cost of sound power.

If you are not worried about space or do not want to renovate to recess the speakers and you don't want to lose any quality, the Sonos Play 5 It's your solution. Powerful and is placed using a bracket on the wall, so its installation will affect you minimally. All these speakers can be connected with the Sonos Connect, Port or Amp to analog devices in case you need it, but the Sonos Amp also allows you to increase and improve the system's sound even more. Keep in mind that the Sonos connect is discontinued, so if this option interests you, do not hesitate to order it as soon as possible.

I want to set up a Home Cinema at home.

To create a Home Cinema There are several options depending on the sound quality you want to achieve. Basically what you need to get started is at least one of the Sonos sound bars, a pair of speakers and the Sonos Sub.

  • The Sonos Sub It is a fundamental piece for the Home Theater, and for many it is also a fundamental piece for the Home Cinema (If you do not know the difference between the two, we invite you to read this post before continuing.), since it completes the sound through the bass range while the central speakers, oriented towards the center, barely produce hum and vibrations, thus avoiding the unpleasant noise that lower quality subwoofers produce.
  • As for sound bars, Sonos offers three models, the most basic, the Sonos Beam, will already offer you a significant quality improvement, but its older brothers are one more step towards exceptional sound quality, Sonos playbase if you want to have several options to place it near the TV or Sonos Playbase If what you prefer is a more powerful sound but you will not be able to place it on the wall.
  • For the pair of stereo speakers you can choose from a couple Sonos One, up to several pairs of Play 5 to create surround sound. Speaker pairs can be combined any way you like, and you can even start with a Sonos Move and Play 5 and later replace them with Sonos In-Wall in-wall speakers and Sonos In-Cell in-ceiling speakers, so You have the Sonos Move as a mobile speaker and you can move the Play 5 to another room.

Finally anyone who wants to expand the sound or has connectivity problems with older or analog equipment, products such as the Sonos amp They are perfect, since they will not only give you connectivity options, but will further expand the sound and help manage the audio coming from the TV.
