By Eliot Van Buskirk of [Evolver.fm](http://evolver.fm/?ref=hypebot.com).

As we [predicted](http://evolver.fm/2013/12/17/the-home-music-war-should-get-real-in-2014/?ref=hypebot.com) last month ([sign up for more predictions](http://evolver.fm/evolver-fm-on-facebook-and-twitter/?ref=hypebot.com)), the home music war is getting real in 2014.

Pure joins the rest of today’s music announcements from [CES](http://evolver.fm/tag/ces-2014/?ref=hypebot.com) with additions to its line of Sonos-like wireless speakers for the home, plus important new firmware to improve its sound quality.

Like Sonos, Pure’s Jongo speakers require the use of a special app on the iPhone or Android, or you can control it from your computer (the company [says](http://ces.cnet.com/8301-35296%5F1-57616535/pure-pumps-up-streaming-speakers-at-ces-2014-promises-any-internet-music-service-works/?ref=hypebot.com), “any music-streaming service, including Pandora, Rdio, Deezer, and Spotify”), while the music comes out of the speakers wirelessly. Pure already offered some of these speakers. At CES 2014, it unveiled a $300 50-watt T4 model and an Apple Airport Express-like speakerless module for connecting to speakers (Jongo T640B), and implemented a [new version of Caskeid](http://www.pure.com/wireless/jongo-multiroom-speakers/?ref=hypebot.com), its proprietary technology for keeping multiple speakers in sync, whether in different rooms or the same room.

[Sonos](http://evolver.fm/tag/sonos/?ref=hypebot.com), which beat every other company in the world to wireless home audio and now finds itself among a sea of competitors (perhaps none so direct as Pure), told me years ago that the reason it wasn’t worried about Apple AirPlay is that Sonos’ system uses Mesh networking — outside of your Wifi network — to keep its audio in perfect sync. In other words, this sort of synchronization is Sonos’ secret sauce.

Pure maintains that its new multi-speaker Caskeid technology maintains “a level of synchronization only \[usually\] possible with wired systems,” which is why this new firmware is a big deal.

Sonos has had perfect speaker synchronization for years, and sounds great across its entire line.

We have yet to hear Pure’s new system, although we hope to post a [review](http://evolver.fm/category/review/?ref=hypebot.com) soon, as well as to find out more about how Caskeid works.
