Interesting tease here:

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 🙂

    From a Verge article on the Move...

    https://www.theverge.com/2019/9/5/20847533/sonos-move-bluetooth-wireless-speaker-price-specs-features.

    The Move likely won’t be the last or only Sonos speaker with Bluetooth or portable features, either. It’s just the first.

    That's definitely news. The article mentions a few other things I hadn't heard before, but that's the biggest.

    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.



    i read somewhere this morning...not yet.

    The new products are posted on the Sonos site now. Nothing on accessories, except for the SL...which is compatible with the Sonos One accessories.

    To recap:
    Really expensive connect replacement
    Really expensive bluetooth speaker
    Slightly more expensive Play 1

    No Playbar updates
    No smaller Sub
    No DTS support

    Home theater crowd left out in the cold again. Am I missing anything?

    To recap:
    Really expensive connect replacement


    $50 more than the current Connect, with additional features. I'd say it's not bad for those who don't have a Connect already, but isn't going to cause anyone to replace what they have.

    Really expensive bluetooth speaker


    Well, if you want a cheap bluetooth speaker this is not it. If you want a good speaker that's fully part of Sonos and can be used as a bluetooth speaker with weather protection and auto tuning...seems like it might be priced similar to the competition.

    Slightly more expensive Play 1


    ...that matches Sonos One, can be paired with Sonos One, capacitive controls, and has airplay. If those don't matter to you, then a play:1 is a definitely a better option.

    No Playbar updates
    No smaller Sub
    No DTS support


    Correct.

    What do you mean?


    Posters going into a discussion of what is being released to complain about what isn't being released.

    And a feature removed (optical output), on a product that was overpriced to begin with.

    I was clearly complaining about what was being released as well.
