Watch TV, yes after all, why not, but the sound still has to be there. The soundbar market is very dynamic, and Sonos has made no mistake with the mid-range beam and the high end Bow. But the entry level then? The manufacturer would not intend to leave this market segment to Vizio and others.
According to indiscretions of The Verge, Sonos is going to launch a “budget” soundbar whose price would be around $249. To be compared with the 499 € of the Beam and the 999 € of the Arc. For this price, it will be necessary to make some sacrifices: Dolby Atmos would not be there (it will not go beyond Dolby Digital surround), just like an HDMI port. To obtain an enveloping sound, it will be necessary to end with other Sonos speakers.
Similarly, but this may be seen as a selling point by some, the device would not have microphones, so it will not be compatible with connected assistants. The soundbar, known under the code name “Fury” or S36, would be much narrower than the Beam, 550 mm against 651 mm.
Sonos could introduce this soundbar on May 25, with the manufacturer hosting an event that day. The marketing of the novelty would be scheduled from June 7.
New at Sonos for the end of May
