That’s Sonos’ then-flagship soundbar

As Sonos continues to resolve bugs and improve the efficiency of its poorly received mobile app redesign, the company is also focusing on several new hardware products. In between those two is an ultrapremium soundbar that the Stream could deliver as a successor to the Sonos Arc – and possibly at the next price point. Codenamed Lasso, the tool has recently been in restricted beta testing, and not long after, I’ll share preliminary photos of it.

The exterior of the Lasso Soundbar is very similar to the Arc, which Sonos introduced four years ago. However inside, the elements and speaker drivers were completely changed and redesigned, and this is estimated to bring the price to over $1,200. Sonos’ goal is to send Lasso to this presentation, even if the deadline changes.

Whenever it launches, the Lasso (hardware model S45) will be the first Sonos product to combine the generation of Netherlands-based startup Mayt, which the company acquired for $100 million in cash in 2022. In the presentation, Sonos credited Mehet for “inventing a new, revolutionary approach to audio transducers.” CEO Patrick Spence noted that the business will give Sonos “more incredible people, technology and intellectual property that will further differentiate the Sonos experience, enhance our competitive advantage and accelerate our future roadmap.”

However, at some point a reasonable step has been taken to bring Mayotte’s concepts directly into a transportation product. Sonos has released several miniature audio systems over the past few years – the Past 100, Travel 2, and Roam 2 – that can benefit from Mehut’s pioneering edge transducer, which is described as “enabling smaller and lighter size.” It can be said that without compromising the quality factor.” However it is the soundbar that may drive business in the primary style of outcome obtained from the purchase. Properties tells me that making Meht’s high-cost transducer machine environmentally friendly has been a challenge, partly because it takes advantage of “expensive” neodymium magnets.

The Arc is already a highly noticeable Dolby Atmos soundbar, and you’d expect even more immersion from the Lasso and its redesigned internals. Furthermore, according to the resources, the Nearest soundbar should deliver significantly better bass performance than its predecessor. With Arc, you really want to upload a sub or sub thumbnails to get the most out of it. Sonos could probably outdo it with an $899 product, but while it’s committed to setting a price over $1,000 for the Lasso, the device wants top-tier home theater audio without any extra help.

The photos also reveal a dedicated Bluetooth button, suggesting that the Lasso may support Bluetooth audio playback. That feature has been absent from all previous Sonos soundbars. And unlike other new products from the company, there will be a physical step to disable the integrated microphone.

Similar to the Arc, the Lasso is designed to work with the recently discounted Sonos Ace headphones for personal listening with spatial audio. The company has promised to expand Ace compatibility to its more affordable Beam and Ray soundbars by late summer or early autumn.

As far as faster generation goes, Sonos continues to release updates to its mobile app every week as it tries to address customer frustration and the negative sentiment that has plagued the company since May.

It’s good to me that Sonos is temporarily listening and transferring, although a batch of wearables have already been performed: The Android model of the Sonos app recently had a brutal 1.2-star Fair Evaluation score. Is. The score on Apple’s app bundle isn’t so bad because the used reviews still balance out the pros that come with the redesign.
