We can't decide if you should buy an Amazon Echo or a Sonos

There's a big debate going on in the Tech Insider newsroom.

This week, Amazon's Echo speaker got two really cool updates. It now (finally) integrates with Spotify, our favorite music streaming service. It also lets you call an Uber with your voice

A handful of Tech Insider's writers and editors own an Echo and love it. (Senior editor Dave Smith is probably the Echo's biggest fan.) But several of us use one of the Sonos speakers instead of the Echo. Sonos speakers can only play music. They don't have any "smart" features like the Echo, but they do sound a lot better.

So which one is better? 

Well, that sparked quite the debate in our Slack channel Friday morning. We didn't exactly come to a consensus, but here's what happened:

So, it's a matter of preference.

My dream? An Amazon Echo that sounds as good as a Sonos.
