    The connected speaker market is currently booming in the United States and is starting to have success in France. To help you make the right choice, let's compare the different types of voice assistants available in today's market.

    Google Home : incorporating “Google Assistant” voice artificial intelligence technology, the device currently offers various services associated with Google Play and its applications. This smart speaker from Google also gives access to more than 30 different functions and is compatible with the Chromecast Audio TV function via Sony and LG or Philips. The device allows a variety of types of smart objects related to the connected home to be used.

    The configuration of the smart speaker is linked to your Google account. The intelligent voice assistant connects wirelessly either via WiFi or Bluetooth. The sound reproduction is audible at 360 °. The smart speaker delivers very clear, high-quality sound with finely accentuated bass.

    Google Home mini : much less imposing than its big brother Google Home, this intelligent voice assistant takes more or less the same characteristics of its predecessor. The real must with this small device is that it guarantees perfect integration into your existing IoT system (your connected objects), despite the fact that the sound quality leaves a little to be desired compared to the Google Home.

    Sonos One : in terms of sound quality, there is nothing to say. This smart speaker from Sony produces totally remarkable sound. Note, however, that the device is sorely lacking in features and at present, it would be better to favor a smart voice assistant of the Google Home type for users of devices under Android or to turn squarely to the Apple Home Pod solution for fans of the apple brand. Sony's voice assistant still calls for many improvements from a functional point of view.

    Amazon Echo : offering more than 5000 skills at the moment, we can say that this speaker has very advanced and fairly complete functions. Unlike the Google Home voice assistant which must also be associated with a single user account, Amazon Echo voice assistance allows simultaneous use with multiple profiles.
    Like Google Home, this smart speaker from Amazon also guarantees excellent sound reproduction and allows you to perceive sound at 360 degrees with excellent bass performance.

    Apple Home Pod : Designed to meet the needs of users of Apple smart devices, this smart speaker works with the Siri voice assistant. The Apple Home Pod allows you to stream music, follow the news, locate the address of a store on the screen of an iPad, etc.
