September's Tech Must Haves Are Made For Small Spaces

Small space equals small everything, right? While the Sonos Play:1 Speaker ($199) fits the bill in physical size at just six inches tall by four inches around, the actual sound projecting from the device is much bigger.

As with other Sonos speakers, you connect to the Play:1 with the Sonos app via the WiFi-based Sonos system — no Bluetooth syncing required, even with an iPhone, Android, or PC/Mac. And if you're ever ready to upgrade to a bigger space, the Play:1 easily works in tandem with Sonos's line of larger speakers for a more immersive sound when moving from room to room.
