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.

There are no physical playback controls on the Crave Pro. Instead, you twist the top portion of the speaker to adjust volume, tap to play and pause, and swipe left and right to skip tracks. It works really well.

Just as Vizio has used the Google Cast protocol to make discovering and beaming content from iPhones and iPads and Android phones and tablets to TVs via the SmartCast app simple, it's doing the same for music.

Both speakers support Bluetooth and Wi-Fi audio streaming for high-fidelity sound.

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."
