Virtual assistants are in fashion, a new way of interacting with the Internet that allows us endless possibilities. And if we talk about virtual assistants, we are talking about Alexa, Amazon's virtual assistant that has been the last to arrive in Spain and is probably one of the best we have at the moment.
However many times these virtual assistants make us be tied to speakers of the company itself, some speakers that do not always offer a great sound quality compared to other connected speakers that we have on the market. Sonos is probably the manufacturer that makes the best connected speakers, an incredible multiroom system that we think is perfect for our homes. The best? is that they are also compatible with Alexa ... Sonos will update its speakers today making them compatible with Alexa in Spain. After the jump we give you all the details of the arrival of Alexa to Sonos in Spain.
Yes, as we say, after the arrival of Alexa in Spain on October 30, external manufacturers are putting the batteries to bring us one of the best virtual assistants on the market to their devices. Alexa comes to Sonos One and Sonos Beam so that we can ask you to play us a specific music (through the more than 50 services it has), or even to turn on the television thanks to the HDMI ARC protocol that the Sonos Beam has (we could see this live and the truth is that if you have a television with an HDMI ARC you will be able to make your television intelligent even if it is not serious).
We have been able to test it in a demo that the guys from Sonos have made us and the truth is that This arrival of Alexa to Sonos surprises, especially after having tried the Amazon Echo before. Alexa on Sonos means having the ultimate virtual assistant in an incredible sound system, We no longer have to have a speaker dedicated to Alexa, in the Sonos sound system we can have all the power of Alexa. In addition, we can also ask Alexa to play music in any of the rooms that we have defined in the Sonos system.
And best of all, if we have more than one streaming music service set up on Sonos, Alexa can communicate with all of them, even you can use Apple Music and Spotify without any problem. Don't you know what music is playing? ask Alexa without any problem. It must be said that the integration of Alexa in Sonos is a complete integration, we are not talking about a skill as it happens with other integrations that we have seen with Alexa.
Stay tuned because as we tell you During today (at the end of the day) you can download the update for Sonos speakers (One and Beam) that allows you use Amazon assistant, Alexa. We highly recommend updating them since the arrival of Alexa to Sonos will infinitely increase its possibilities.
