Pros and cons
Drawn from the published specifications and what else you have to buy. Not a lab score.
Pros
- • Stereo from one small speaker, with Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 both listed.
- • A physical microphone switch.
- • Wi-Fi 6, and it does not ask to be your door lock’s hub.
Cons
- • No Thread and no Matter hub. It will not commission a bulb.
- • The analog and Ethernet jacks are paid adapters.
- • Voice control here is Sonos Voice Control, not a full smart-home platform.
