New hardware coming? August 27 & 28 Press events

Interesting tease here:

https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/08/sonos-fall-event-IFA-2019/

Seems odd that no FCC popups have occurred yet, but I'm not one to be looking for those kinds of things, I count on others in our community for that 🙂

    The One Gen 2 also has Bluetooth. It's only used for initial setup, I imagine any new device will be the same.

    But those devices only has <1mW Bluetooth, meaning BLE? Can't find the fcc filing for gen2, only the other BT devices

    Yea, I'm pretty sure that's BLE, used merely for initial setup. As jgatie said.

    They seem to have filed two devices, https://fccid.io/SBVRM023 which explicitly states "With BLE"

    It even has two separate test reports, one for BLE and one for BT.

    Fascinating.

    That would be a pretty significant turn around for Sonos.

    Could it be for the Sonos headphones we’ve heard so much about? BT would make sense there...

    Actually, any old BT headphone would work if Sonos integrates a BT transmitter. Dunno.
