While we’re stuck at home working or studying (or both), it’s important to keep ourselves amused. You know, to avoid blowing our brains out. Try listening to some dance music and work up a sweat to release the happy hormones! If you don’t have a speaker or a soundbar, might we suggest these ones from Sonos? The Sonos One SL is a remarkably powerful wireless speaker that can be used solo or stereo paired to add to your Sonos home theatre set-up. Or if you want the added convenience of Alexa alongside superb acoustics, take a look at the Sonos One Gen 2 smart speaker. Do you desire an even louder and more impressive sound plus Alexa integration? We recommend getting the Sonos Beam soundbar. Save up to $50 when you buy them today.
Sonos One SL — $129, was $179
The Sonos One SL is a solid sonic win from the American audio company, blending killer sound and a sleek and compact design. It looks identical and even works with the Sonos One smart speaker (see below), which we deemed as practically perfect. But it comes at a lower cost, and for that
The SL One is designed for both Sonos system integration and solo use, meaning you don’t have to pair it with another

Sonos One (Gen 2) — $149, was $199
The Sonos One, now on its second iteration, is probably the smartest smart speaker out there. Setting it up is foolproof, the
The Sonos One is a reimagined version of its popular Play:1 speaker but with faster internals and easier configuration process. Setting it up is blissfully easy to do, which involves connecting it to your home Wi-Fi network by following the simplest of walkthroughs on the mobile app. Once you’ve assigned this speaker to a particular room in your house (Living Room, Bedroom, Den, Kitchen, you get the idea), you can marvel at how
The Sonos One is easily one of the best-sounding compact multiroom wireless speakers right now, with a powerful pulsating bass that doesn’t overpower the clarity and beauty of the mids and highs. Get it on Adorama today for a reasonable price of $149.
Sonos Beam — $349, was $399
The Sonos Beam is the soundbar of the future, a potent hybrid of a soundbar and smart speaker that’s all
The Beam boasts a center-mounted tweeter, four full-range woofers, and three passive bass radiators that combined together provide an impressive room-filling sound that’s surprising for its relatively tiny dimensions. Sonos claims that the Beam’s sound signature is designed to enhance dialogue, and we can attest that this is absolutely true. Words uttered by characters sound almost suspended in mid-air just in front of our TV’s screen, never drowned out even if the musical score booms at its loudest. Aside from the pristine quality it lends to dialogue, the Beam’s sounds equally great for music. Well, almost. It has a slightly more boxed-in sound, probably due to a mid-bass hump that adds to the illusion of deep bass, which seems to compromise the openness in the lower midrange. Still, it’s a terrific sound that a lot of people will appreciate, especially those who love orchestral music.
Alexa is no longer considered a novelty but her integration in soundbars is relatively new. Using voice command, you can play a movie in the living room, a podcast in the kitchen, or stream any song everywhere when you set up multiple speakers. During our test, the Beam’s far-field microphones proved accurate and had no problem hearing our requests even if the music was blaring at max volume.
The Sonos Beam delivers a surprisingly powerful sound despite its slim and unobtrusive body. As the cherry on top of an already fantastic cake, you get the voice control of your home entertainment system as well. Get it for $349 on Adorama today.
