New hardware coming? August 27 & 28 Press events

I’m sure that there will be some sort of third party wall mount solution relatively quickly. I’m not as convinced it will look as good, though, if there truly is a handle on the back for carrying the speaker. I’d think that would keep it from being nestled against the wall....

I'm sure Flexson will be on the case! £50 for a crappy piece of plastic 😂

If they're discreet enough, a few wall mounts around the garden would be good for me, then I can move the speaker around when needed.

I wonder what it will be called? Sonos Zero? Sonos Go?

Re battery life. I used to have a Squeezebox Radio, an amazing bit of kit. The battery lasted 6+ hours.

Hadn't considered that possibility. I was thinking more of an indoor charging station.

I'd go with Sonos 2/Duo/Dual. Two is the natural progression and it emphasizes that the speaker has 2 modes.

I'm going to guess it will go about 3 hours. Although battery life is important, I don't think Sonos will want to limit sound quality in order to get longer life. I also don't think it's as important since USB power sources are pretty easy to get these days.

It's rumored to be pretty bug, but I hope it fits in a carry-on suit case. I don't travel much, but usually do take a bluetooth speaker with me when I do.

I expect it to have much more than 3 hours batrery life - around double that should be no problem based on what many other manufacturers are able to achieve.

My concern would be that the battery is replaceable by the user. I have squeezebox radios, a Zipp, and B&O headphones - all have replaceable batteries.

Now, headphones would be a real plus!

I'd expect much more, no doubt it's taller than the One to fit in a big battery. The Squeezebox Radio was only 2000 mAh 10 years back, Anker battery packs are ~ 20000 mAh nowadays and fairly compact.

I suspect it’ll be similar to this discontinued Insignia portable smart speaker, which has a five hour battery life. I use one in the bathroom, where the better SQ of a Sonos won’t really matter. The constant time and temperature display mean it definitely won’t be replaced by a Sonos anytime soon.

Never thought of having one in the bathroom! I guess you can have plug sockets in the bathroom in the US with it being lower voltage? Here in the UK we can't so a battery powered Sonos speaker would be ideal

No, low voltage (120 will still kill you), it's the fact that US code requires any outlet in the presence of water be GFI (Ground Field Interrupt) equipped, essentially giving it its own quick trip circuit breaker..

A 20000mAh battery is not that big or heavy and don't think just 3h would satisfy many of the use cases I'd envision. I don't have a clue when you did your battery quote but don't think actual battery tech has come on a huge amount for a fair few years actually - but more and more people are using portable packs. I also imagine Sonos not to use any of the really new battery tech anyway, just whatever does the job for a price. USB C on the other hand I imagine to be a key enabler for this device.
