Vizio wants to983 Archivesfor audio what it has done with TVs: Make it dead easy to stream music from any service using Google Cast and look good doing it.
The company's new $299.99 SmartCast Crave Pro and $249.99 Crave 360 speakers are competitively priced with Sonos' Play:1 and Play:3 speakers.

The Crave Pro is the more powerful of the two. It has a 2.1 audio system with two integrated subwoofers to deliver loud, bass-heavy sound.

Whether you use your phone or tablet or a touchscreen remote (sold separately or from your Vizio SmartCast-enabled TV), it's super easy to access all of your music through any number of music streaming sources and have them organized in one place, ready to stream to a Crave speaker.

As impressive-sounding as both speakers are, they're even better when connected to multiple Vizio SmartCast speakers and sound bars for multi-room audio.
Do they sound better than Sonos speakers? Hard to say since I wasn't able to compare the two side-by-side, but I will say I was impressed with the audio quality from both Crave speakers.
The Crave 360 is available immediately on Vizio's online store and on SamsClub.com and the the Crave Pro will be available on Vizio's online store "soon."
