Sonos One (Gen 2)
While smart speakers have become commonplace, most of them come with two drawbacks: mediocre sound quality and restriction to a single voice assistant. The Sonos One has neither of those issues, making it one of the best smart speaker options out there (and a gift that the techie in your life should be thrilled to receive on Valentine's Day). The Sonos One offers terrific sound and volume even in its relatively compact form factor, thanks to its two Class-D digital amplifiers along with a tweeter a mid-woofer. And in terms of connecting to a voice-controlled smart assistant, the Sonos One has both of the leading assistants built in--Amazon's Alexa and the Google Assistant. (Note: The updated Gen 2 model includes the same design as the original model but with faster processing power.) The Sonos One is also available in two color choices--white or black--and users can also pair two of the speakers together in a room for stereo sound.
The Sonos One, Gen 2, is currently priced at $199 on Amazon.
