New Sonos One Generation 2 just purchased at Best Buy but they are still on preorder?

So I just purchased two One's at best buy (White and Black). The black one said gen 2 which led to some confusion when I asked if I could also get a gen 2 for the white. I can't find any information about the gen 2's, except they are available on preorder at Amazon. I haven't opened the boxes yet to determine the difference. There is no information on the Sonos site about the gen 2 yet. Does anyone have any more information on what the differences are?

No announcements of a Gen 2 Sonos One here. Some of the folks that watch government sites for Sonos news might have seen something.

Knowing Best Buy as I do, I'd suggest it's an error by Best Buy.

Where did it say Gen 2? On the Sonos packaging? As Stanley suggests, so far there's only been one generation of the Sonos One. The only Sonos device that has multiple generations is the PLAY:5.

The only thing I can think of offhand is that one is a PLAY:1, the other a Sonos One...in that form factor, that's as close as you can get to multiple generations....but there's so much difference on the inside, they really aren't the same speaker at all, just look similar.

No it is certainly a One (Gen 2). It was a mistake by Best Buy in selling me the product. See attached picture.

When you have the gen2 set up, could you post the ‘Hardware Version’ reported for the speaker in ‘About My Sonos System’? Thanks.

Indeed, thank you most kindly. Since Sonos hasn't announced this yet, I'm guessing that Best Buy jumped the gun.

Will be interested in knowing what the difference between the two is, and if they can be bonded/stereo paired, or are like the PLAY:5 gen 1 and gen 2 that can not be bonded/paired

Also the Play 1 got hardware reviews during the years without a Gen 2.

I asked a month ago about this and got the usual response from Sonos rep (we don’t share information on new releases). If the thing has launched in the meantime they may comment now.

Hi Sonos reps,

The past month I have seen two posts on Reddit/Sonos from a user claiming a gen 2 of the Sonos One is on its way/has arrived stating various details such as 4 instead of 6 microphones. Moreover, it stated that ‘gen 1’ will have two of its mics disabled (I guess so that updates can come simultaneously). All if this would be a ‘soft launch’ and the info supposedly came from Sonos reps in Australia, but the posts got deleted a few hours later.

Can you confurm this relaunch? Any chance of this Sonos One gen 2 being the S18 of the latest FCC filings?

I just saw in Sonos Mexican page that the Sonos One is listed as (Gen 1) that means something is on the works definitely. @BadMojo11, do you remember a couple of months before there were some FCC filings to use Bluetooth LE with a Sonos One lookalike, have you found any difference between the Gen 1 and 2???
