Sonos Built In Speaker Review Summary

Sonos created a collaborative partnership with Sonance known as one of the best built in and outdoor speaker manufacturers in the world. The Sonos One is also designed for indoor space where the sound will reflect of the walls so it wasn’t the ideal solution for an outdoor environment with essentially limitless boundaries.

With the sheath the cables are easier to pull in wall and will be more resistant to damage which can often occur durring installation.

But acoustically, there are no benefits to pairing Outdoor with Amp. The sound of Sonos Outdoor
