The Sonos One SL is getting a small upgrade in the form of a power-efficient wireless radio and more sustainable materials. There is, however, a slight catch for Sonos users with older devices.
An FCC filing for the new One SL speaker popped up on Monday. That said, it doesn’t come with any new features or added functionality. In fact, in a statement provided to the Verge, Sonos said the main reason the upgraded speaker even needed a new filing was due to the new wireless radio. It also noted that the One SL will have a redesigned base that eliminates extra plastic and stickering. It’s also going to have more sustainable packaging, which Sonos first introduced with its portable Roam speaker. All this sounds neat, but if you’re thinking of buying a new One SL, you ought to keep in mind that it’ll only work with the newer Sonos S2 app.

The Sonos Roam is actually light and rugged!
While you could technically take it out to enjoy your tunes in the great outdoors, I’ve never taken it further than the car park out back.
While it was rugged enough to handle a hike or beach day, at 3kg it was too impractical to actually want to do any of that.

The Apple HomePod is going the way of the dodo, as the tech giant recently announced that it plans to discontinue the four-year-old product to instead focus on the smaller, more wallet-friendly HomePod Mini.
The original HomePod sounded great, but was hamstrung by its hefty price tag and comparatively limited smart assistant, Siri, which doesnât offer the tremendous compatibility that standouts like Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa boast.

Never fear, as weâve pulled out some great picks that can (for the most part) replace the original HomePod without skipping a beat. Here are our picks for the best alternatives to Appleâs ste
