Sonos has made a name for itself among audiophiles with its line of connected speakers.

Now it has a new model that does more than just allow you to play your favorite tunes in every room of your house. 

The $200 Sonos One isn't just a connected speaker. It's a smart one. 

Just like you could do with Amazon's Echo or Google Home, you can command the One to play music, control your smart home, give you a weather report, or tell you about your upcoming appointments, all by just speaking to it.

Right now, the One uses Amazon's Alexa as its built-in voice assistant to handle such commands. But Sonos plans to allow users to interact with the device using Google Assistant.

There are a growing number of smart speakers on the market. How does the One compare?
