<p>Thanks to the brilliance of Spotify Connect, you can stream music directly from a Spotify application on your mobile, desktop, or web to your Sonos speakers, bypassing the need to open the Sonos app. If you find yourself using Spotify frequently, this method might be more convenient than navigating through the Sonos software. As long as your device running Spotify and your Sonos speakers are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, simply tap or click the devices icon in any Spotify app to access your Sonos speakers — in the Windows client, it's located at the bottom right near the volume slider; on iOS, it's at the bottom left corner of the playback screen.</p>
<h2>Improve Dialogue Clarity and Keep Noise in Check</h2>
<p>Here are two features designed specifically for the Sonos lineup of soundbars. Night Sound helps mitigate loud noises and minimizes sound leakage into adjoining rooms, while Speech Enhancement boosts dialogue clarity amidst other sounds.</p>
<p>Access both these features from the now playing screen in the Sonos app whenever a soundbar is connected. Tap the crescent moon icon to activate Night Sound, or the speech bubble icon to turn on Speech Enhancement.</p>
<h2>Utilize Alarms and Sleep Timers</h2>

<p>Your Sonos speakers can also serve as alarm clocks. Within the Android or iOS app, navigate to Settings, System, Alarms, and Add Alarm to begin. Alarms can sound from any Sonos unit in your configuration, or all at once, and you have the option to select music from any of your connected services (or a simple chime sound).</p>
<p>At the end of the day, you can use Sonos speakers to drift off to music, white noise, or podcasts. From the now playing screen on Android or iOS, tap the Menu button (the three dots on the right), then select Sleep Timer.</p>
<h2>Enhance the Functionality of Physical Buttons</h2>
<p>Did you believe the play/pause button atop your Sonos speaker only stopped and started your music? Not at all—while a single tap on the button will indeed pause (or play) the current queue, you can also tap it twice to skip to the next song, tap it three times to revert to the previous track, and tap and hold to group it with the last active room.</p>
<p>On the touch controls of the newer speakers (Sonos One, Sonos SL, Play:5, Playbase, Beam, and Amp), the possibilities expand. Again, a single tap plays or pauses, or tap and hold to add music currently playing in another room. Swipe right or left across the button to advance to the next or previous track.</p>
<h2>Customize Your Audio with the Built-in Equalizer</h2>
