Which Sonos speaker do you need in which room?

You have various rooms in your house, and Sonos has different speakers. How do you know which speaker you should place in which room? As yourself the following questions:

• Do you want to use the speaker in a small to medium-sized room?
• Do you want to place the speaker in the bathroom, kitchen, or outside?
• Do you want to use the speaker in a large room?
• Do you want multiple speakers in 1 room or a multi-room setup?
• Do you want to use the speaker at home and on the go?

You use the Sonos Era 100 in small to medium-sized rooms. You can place it in the bedroom or a small living room, for example. The speaker is compact in size, so it doesn't take up much space. That means you can place it anywhere. The speaker produces stereo sound, so the music sounds more spatial. Thanks to TruePlay, it adjusts the sound to the room for room-filling sound.

The Sonos Move 2 is suitable for in the bathroom, kitchen, or outside. It's moisture-resistant, so it can handle the moisture that's created by the shower or cooking. It's also dustproof, so you can feel free to place it in the garden. The speaker is compact in size. That means it isn't in the way while you're cooking. With the built-in handle, you can easily carry it from the kitchen to the garden. Note: the speaker isn't fully waterproof.

For larger rooms like the living room, the Sonos Five and Sonos Era 300 are suitable. Both speakers have 6 drivers that produce powerful sound. The drivers of the Era 300 face forward, to the side, and upwards, which makes the sound room-filling. It also supports Dolby Atmos for spatial audio. If you want to hear sound in the entire room, place the Sonos Five down horizontally. Place the speaker vertically if you have multiple speakers in the room.

You can connect all Sonos speakers to each other and connect them to a Sonos soundbar. This is useful when you want a true surround sound setup. With this, you can surround yourself with sound and it'll feel like you're right in the middle of your movie. With a multi-room setup, all connected speakers play the same music. That means you can hear music all throughout your house. The Era 100 and Move 2 are suitable for this thanks to their compact size.

If you also want to use the speaker outdoors, the Sonos Roam 2 is suitable for you. You don't need a home network because you can also connect it via Bluetooth. Thanks to the 10-hour battery life, you don't need a socket. The speaker is dustproof and water-resistant, so water or sand aren't a problem. Thanks to their compact size, you can easily take it with you. If you want stereo sound, you can connect a second Roam 2.
