Speaking strictly on home audio - how do you think the HomePod is going to stack up against the likes of Sonos and other connected home audio solutions?
Anythings possible. I'm willing to bet though that if you polled average consumers what their impressions of Sonos was, their response would be "What is that"? While polling the same group what they thought of having "Alexa or Siri" in your home, they would know exactly what your talking about and you would get a response.@Not Quite Right - is this an opportunity for Sonos to enter the battle though? 'HEY SONOS...'
They already have a huge install base.

This is probably somewhat true. Sonos needs a bigger market push for sure. I'm thinking that comes through Amazon/Google partnerships.Anythings possible.

Sonos's best bet is to integrate Alexa and Google Now and position themselves as an accessory for an Echo or Google home. If I'm Sonos, I want to be the feature third party partner at the next Pixel Launch with Google Home updates and I want Amazon pushing me as an obvious addition to the Echo Dot.

Well... the thread was started when HomePod was announced. Today we already know HomePod is better than Sonos
As an overall statement I disagree. Maybe just HomePod vs Sonos one or play3 yes but Sonos is in a category all it’s own. I have several sonos speakers and now the one HomePod I am not biased. The HomePod does have better bass but that may be the only edge I will give to the HomePod from a sound quality standpoint.
