    I use Bose 251 speakers in an external space, and they have sounded and worked fine there since 2003. For HiFi applications the usual Bose speakers that are used offer a coloured sound which isn't to everyone’s taste and I have never used them back when Sonos did not exist; and for such use I have found Sonos speakers to offer a sound that is much more like what I prefer.

    But as you will see from the above, it gets to a personal preference for the sonic signature. For wireless capability, I would not go with Bose though.

    If you find both to be expensive, a good solution would be something like an Echo Dot with its audio out jacks wired into a pair of speakers like the Presonus Eris 4.5. I use this set up in one of my zones, and for a much lower price the sound is perhaps a little better than a Sonos One pair - it definitely isn't worse.
