Sonos Ace Ultra, Beam Ultra, Sonos Fabric, and a New App: Everything Sonos Just Announced
wired ·
Sonos announced a major update called Sonos 27, including a revamped app with generative AI features like the Sonos 27voice assistant and customizable agents. The company also named its wireless sync technology Sonos Fabric and introduced two new products: the Sonos Ace Ultra headphones, which can connect over Wi-Fi to the speaker ecosystem, and the Sonos Beam Ultra soundbar with more drivers and AI speech enhancement. Sonos acknowledged past app problems and says it is taking a customer-centric approach, but the new features are opt-in and will not work with older S1 hardware. The company frames itself as an audio operating system rather than just a speaker maker, though concerns remain about compatibility and the complexity of its software.
