Hi, We have three pairs of Sonos Ones. When a friend recommended them I didn't think I could afford them. Now I can't imagine not having them here. I also have both Echo and Google represented throughout the house but Sonos is King of the Castle. Or at least Queen. Since the Sonos has Alexa. Laughs! Sieghard mentioned that Google is coming to Sonos hopefully this year. I am looking forward to that. We won a G Google Home Mini and it is connected but I mostly forget it is here among the other connected devices. I also hope that Apple will soon be available with voice control as it is with the Echo devices for the Apple Music service. Spotify is now. Merv

Brett, we have 2 Sonos Play1 speakers and a Beam, which is a sound bar in our living room and are delighted with them. You can control them through the app or, in the case of Play 1 and the Beam, Alexa. They are completely accessible and it was not the sighted member of this couple who hooked them up. We also have our TV hooked into the speakers and it creates surround sound for a movie. There arre touch pads on all three pieces of equipment, but I ignore them — just be careful when you are dusting!
