If you’ve heard about Sonos speakers, you’re aware of their reputation for audio quality. Easy to use with relatively affordable options for those wanting clear wireless sound, Sonos speakers offer an expansive set of features.
That includes multi-room playback, indoor-outdoor listening, smart assistance, and an extensive streaming library. Unlike some other high-quality speakers, Sonos supports everything from Tidal, Spotify, and Pandora to Stitcher and SiriusXM.
But Sonos speakers aren’t just for music. They can also be used to play and listen to audiobooks through your Audible profile. Once you’ve registered accounts with Sonos and Audible – Amazon’s subscription service that allows you to listen to podcasts, audiobooks, and more – you can sync your Sonos speaker to your Audible app.
Here’s how to do it.
