Although Bose is one of the biggest names in mass-market, premium speakers, Sonos has quickly earned a spot as a strong contender in the market space. Audio enthusiasts debate which sounds better, but most agree that both manufacturers deliver high-quality audio in small form factors. What differentiates Sonos from Bose is the software feature set: where Bose most commonly relies on a Bluetooth connection to a single speaker at a time, Sonos allows listeners to stream audio to multiple speakers from a single, unified app.
