Sonos VoiceControl is the company's homegrown voice AI for full control of a Sonos system, no hands or app needed. Does it go far enough?
Sonos has launched its own voice assistant, known as Sonos Voice Control, and you can enable it on any voice-capable Sonos product in your home. It’s not the first time Sonos users have been able to issue voice commands to their speakers — Alexa has been available since 2017 when Sonos launched its first true smart speaker, the Sonos One.
The same isn’t true if you’re using Alexa. Apparently, Amazon is less restrictive in its licensing and doesn’t mind if Sonos shares its vocal real estate. When I tried it, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Deezer, and Sonos Radio were available to me, but several others, including Tidal, Stitcher, SoundCloud, and, Spotify, SiriusXM, and Plex were grayed out, with the words “not compatible” next to them.
Mostly quick responses In general, using Sonos Voice Control produced quick responses, whether I was asking for a new song, getting the system to pause or resume, or changing volume levels. But some commands did take longer than expected. If you try to go outside of the system’s comfort zone, or if there’s a general error, you get a short two-tone error sound.Sonos provides pretty much every option you could ask for. You can group and ungroup speakers, you can ask Sonos what song is playing, and you can direct it to play a variety of content from streaming music services. It will report on the Move or Roam’s battery levels, which you can ask for by name.
