IPhone and Sonos speaker.

One of the best things about Wi-Fi connected speakers is the ability to play music directly from your phone, tablet or laptop without having to physically plug them in. I use AirPlay from my iPhone 16 Pro as the main way I play music at home these days, as it offers some distinct advantages to using a dedicated app or voice assistant.
