Audio device of the year: Sonos One, Sonos Beam
The audio technology Sonos delivered this year was dazzling to the ear, with amazing audio quality for various situations. The Sonos One Gen2 (R3,690 from Audico) speaker provides rich audio quality, with a few nifty extras like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for voice control, and Apple AirPlay 2. The audio experience has become far smarter than before.
The Sonos Beam soundbar (R7,990 from Audico) also features Amazon Alexa, to transform a living room sound bar – typically used with a large-screen TV – into a smart speaker. The smart soundbar makes a great addition to entertainment for those who have yet to add additional sound to their home theatre experience.
