All Sonos speakers will get a free firmware update allowing voice control with an Amazon Echo or Echo Dot – and it won't be the only supported voice assistant.

Sonos confirmed a free firmware update will launch later this year, bringing Amazon Alexa voice control to all Sonos speakers.

At an event at the company's Boston HQ, Sonos announced the news teased last year, confirming Alexa support would launch "later this year".
