- Sonos' latest speaker lineup includes three models: the Sonos Arc, Sonos Five, and Sonos Sub.
- The Sonos Arc is priced at $799.00, and replaces the Playbar and Playbase as the company's new premium home theater soundbar.
- Sonos Five serves as the successor to the current Play:5, and offers refreshed color options and updated internals for the same $499.00 price tag.
- The most subtle refresh comes with the updated Sonos Sub, which carries the same $699.00 price as the older model and only gains upgraded internals for future-proofing.
- All three speakers are available for pre-order through the Sonos website, and are set to officially launch on June 10.
Sonos has unveiled pricing and pre-order details for its newest lineup of speaker models. The collection includes the Sonos Arc, Sonos Five, and Sonos Sub.
Sonos speakers have been known to physically last a while, but it's a little surprising that its original home theater speaker, the Playbar, was able to go seven years before getting a revision. The new Sonos Arc will now serve as a replacement for that model and the company's previously released Playbase.
Before today's refreshed specs, the Sonos Sub went eight years without an update and the second generation Play:5 went five years. Though not brand-new like the Sonos Arc, the upgraded Sonos Five and updated Sonos Sub speakers both offer a few minor improvements over their predecessors.
Each of the speakers are ready to take advantage of the latest Sonos software, and all three will run exclusively on the new Sonos app, called S2, when it's available on June 8.
With these latest releases, Sonos is updating its premium, top-of-the-line speakers to stay competitive. It's likely we'll see new features over time as its new software begins to take advantage of this latest hardware.
Here's a full rundown of all the pricing, pre-order, and specification details you need to know about the new Sonos speaker lineup.
