Sonos One equals its lowest ever price in this January sales bargain

Spending some extended time at home at Christmas can get you dreaming of bolstering your wireless speaker system – and now is a great time to do just that, with the Sonos One speaker dropping to its lowest price on Amazon.

This Alexa-enabled smart speaker fell to £148 for a short time during this year's Black Friday sales – and now it's equalled that price during the Boxing Day sales. (Not in the UK? Scroll down for the best Sonos One deals where you are).

That's a generous saving of 25% on its usual price and it'll be wise to act quickly, as the offer only lasted for a few days during Black Friday.

The Sonos One is currently our favourite smart speaker, thanks to its combination of Sonos' great sound quality and voice control smarts from the likes of Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri. Rather than digging into the app to change tunes, this means you can just talk to Spotify and ask for it to skip tracks or play a particular song.

Today's best Sonos One deal

The Sonos One's voice control isn't just restricted to music either – it also makes it a great smart home controller too, with the ability to control your smart lights and heating with voice commands.

If you don't need these voice smarts, though, there is an alternative version called the Sonos One SL. This speaker is effectively a Sonos One without the voice control smarts and is even cheaper at £138 (or £139 for the White version), saving of 27%.

The One SL is also a very solid update on the older Play:1, thanks to its more streamlined design and built-in support for Apple's Airplay 2.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase .

He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
