It’s not only a fraction of the price of a HomePod, but it’s now a fully AirPlay 2-compatible citizen. When my (non-AirPlay 2) Sonos Play:1 was playing along with the Play:5 and the HomePods in my living room, I was able to press the play/pause button in the bathroom and pause the music everywhere. This extends to the controls on the Sonos hardware itself. You can control playback from the Sonos app, so you can pause, resume, and even skip to the next track-not just on Sonos speakers, but on all the speakers that are connected together. That starts with the ability to group non-AirPlay Sonos speakers with an AirPlay-compatible one in order to create a larger playback group, but it doesn’t stop there. It's a platform that brings together all your streaming, voice, and control services so you can easily browse music, radio, podcasts, and audiobooks and listen your way. Sonos has done some nifty engineering to bridge the gap between AirPlay and any other Sonos speakers in your home. All your services in a single app Sonos S2 is more than just an app. Just because these Sonos devices support AirPlay 2 doesn’t mean that they lose any of their other, existing features. It’s not as robust-everything’s got a two-second buffering delay, for instance-but I was able to play a podcast from my iPhone using Overcast (which doesn’t support AirPlay 2) to the Play:5 and my pair of HomePods. With all this talk about AirPlay 2, it’s worth noting that AirPlay 2-compatible speakers also support the original AirPlay protocol. You can control Sonos devices via the HomePod, too: When listening to music on a paired set of HomePods in my living room, I said, “Hey Siri, also play this in the garage,” and the music immediately picked up on the Play:5 in the garage, in sync.

If your modules firmware is out of date, the software will let you know a new. Users who trade in older Sonos systems immediately get a 30 percent discount-but their older hardware immediately enters a 21 day countdown before being put in “ recycle mode.” Products in recycle mode can’t be re-used or repurposed without Sonos’ permission-a wasteful outcome for a program Sonos claims was designed to minimize environmental impact.With AirPlay 2, Sonos speakers gain Siri support. Sonos’ second option, its trade-in program launched last October, came under fire just last month for being wasteful. The first option potentially opens customers up to security headaches in an era where internet of things devices are routinely hacked. Or users can trade in the older gear while nabbing a 30 percent discount on the purchase of a new Sonos system. In a blog post, Sonos says owners of these legacy systems have two options: they can simply keep using the products, understanding they won’t receive new features, bug fixes, or software and security updates.

Users that have shelled out hundreds or thousands of dollars for smart speakers that still work didn’t take the news particularly well. Plex allows streaming media content to devices on your network. “Legacy products were introduced between 20 and, given the age of the technology, do not have enough memory or processing power to sustain future innovation,” the company’s email claims. In the email, the company says that certain “ legacy” systems will stop receiving security and software updates starting in May. The latest example comes courtesy of Sonos, which this week informed customers in an email that it would no longer be supporting certain speaker systems. Instead, we’re shelling out big bucks for products that can easily lose features or worse-stop working entirely on the whim of a corporation. In the modern internet era, it’s increasingly clear that consumers no longer actually own the things we buy.
