It looks like Sonos is about to sell different color Roams...

The file name of the image in this email is “Roam_Colors_Launch.png”

Lol, I got that email too but didn’t think to log at the name of the image.    Good catch.

Sonos has done this sort of thing in the past  as a limited set, with the play:5 and Sonos One.  I wouldn’t bee too surprised if this ends up as a charity fund raiser sort of thing.

That is what I am thinking, or else they are adding to the color One line but my money is on Roam and less likely Move but that would need an upgrade as well. I do find it weird that I get an email with a link and then a dead page (happened before as well). You would think they could at least put up a simple “Check back” with the timer or something.

ADD: I am going to be really sad when my Sonos Play 1 Blue Note Limited Edition set is no longer going to be able to be used. They are perfect in my Den. It was such a shame that station went away, wish they would bring it back as a Sonos Radio HD exclusive.

I’m also going to go out on a limb and guess that ‘peach’ is going to be one of the color options.

 

and subscribers...is that subscribing to Sonos Radio?  Or that you subscribed to receive email?  I’m guessing the former, but not sure.  Either way, seems like a good summer promotion. Roam is a good choice for this.  Wouldn’t be surprised if they add $20 to the price for these.

I can see Sonos sticking to their brand colors:

New colors instead of new products... color the engineers sad... easy money, though!  Makes one wonder why Sonos collaborated with Ikea for “downscale” versions of their products rather than with Bang & Olufsen for “upscale” versions.  B&O being masters of the “introducing new ‘exclusive’ colors” audio thingies.  cf. Beosound 1 “New York Edition” (https://design-milk.com/360-degree-sound-beosound-1-new-york-edition/ ) vs. Sonos One Bluenote Edition (https://ystudios.com/bluenote-tone ).  I woulda bought a Beosound 1, even at that price, if it had Sonos innards.

Maybe you got a different email, but mine is identical to the screenshot above.  Since I am subscribed to the newsletter and sonos radio, I don’t know which one it’s referring to.

These were the colors for Sonos One.  If I remember correctly, there were chosen by a European retailer named HAY.

See above but I love my Blue Note edition speakers. It was such a cool idea at the time tying it in with the anniversary and the extra channels, etc..

Not officially announced yet, but Sonos is set to release the Sonos Ray by the end of the month.  The  thread on it around here somewhere, and Google will turn up lots of hits.
