New hardware coming? August 27 & 28 Press events

I think the price will be right and is made much more out of touch by the functionality even the likes of Chromecast can provide..

Considering how ridiculously overpriced many feel the existing Connect to be, this is funny.It could be inaccurate. Entirely possible that they mistakenly put the Move price on the Port. That said though, I agree that technical aspect of what you get with the Connect or Port seems overpriced. I've always thought that it was priced as such more because it opens up the Sonos system so much and a lower price would have a negative impact on sales of other products. Still, it feels like the current product feels like you could lower the price to $300 or $250 and not impact other product sales much.

And assuming the price of the Move is correct at $400...that's more than I hoped for. Getting a pair at $800 is very costly. I want one (or two) but it's no longer an easy decision for me.

Good assessment of the Port. Looking forward to the official release, though it is looking like my wallet is safe.Yup. Price went the wrong direction for what the Connect/Port do, losing the optical makes it a non-starter for the only room I'd use it for. Disappointing upgrade, except for maybe Airplay and the trigger.

I imagine when the official announcement on the board, we'll get a statement or two of why optical was removed. Overall, I just don't see a lot of reason to upgrade from Connect to this. Yes, it looks nicer so that's a reason. Airplay alone isn't a reason since you can get an ikea bookshelf to do that for $100. The 12V trigger? Perhaps. I see this mostly being used by pro installers.

Chromecast audio? I thought that was discontinued. I'm not that knowledgeable of what Chromcast (full version) can do as far multiroom audio functionality. Is it really comparable?

Tech media outlets are starting to post their articles as well.

The new Sonos One SL is a Sonos One without the mics, priced at $180. What this brings that the Play:1 does not?

Improved looks
The more modern button controls you see on current Sonos products
improved hardware (I assume. Would be silly for them not to reuse the Sonos One hardware where it applies)
airplay compatible (I think)
Can be paired with a Sonos One with mic.

That last one may be the big feature for most. However, since the SL is only a $20 discount, not sure many won't just get the full One in case they ever want voice control.

Here's an article on the Move.

New Sonos controller just installed on my Android tablet. No doubt with support for the SL and Move added in. Tomorrow, perhaps?Android 10 was released yesterday so could be that if the other control platforms don't get an update.

You’re right. I guess we’ll have to wait until September 24th to see whether Auto Trueplay will be added to the One and Beam.

Move, for me....
Considerably more than I was expecting but looks a great product, although not one I can see me buying any time soon sadly - despite really looking forward to it
Quite big to move or pack in a suitcase and for that price, at home, I'll just keep using my Play 5 on a long power cable.
A cheaper, Play One sized speaker would have been more what I was looking for.
