Sonos is a multiroom home sound system offering various speakers and soundbars within its portfolio. All Sonos devices link seamlessly with one another over a mesh Wi-Fi network, but Sonos speakers also work with some third party devices too.
That's where the Works with Sonos program comes in. Here is everything you need to know about the Works with Sonos platform, along with what devices are compatible and which companies are certified.
What is Works with Sonos?
The Works with Sonos program means that any product or device with the Works with Sonos badge is certified to connect seamlessly with the Sonos Home Sound System.
For a product to get certified, they must meet Sonos' exacting standards in terms of both design and sound.
Which devices are compatible with the Works with Sonos program?
There are a number of companies on the Works with Sonos certified list, and others are coming soon including Ikea and its Symfonisk range that has been designed in collaboration with Sonos.
Here's the current list of companies and their devices that fulfil the Works with Sonos requirements:
