Sonos Arc Ultra pre-order leaks give us a release date that’s real soon – and our best pictures of it yet
The
Sonos
Arc
Ultra
is
truly
the
worst-kept
secret
in
tech
right
now,
with
the
new
soundbar
leaking
everything
like
water
from
a
paper
bucket.
Only
a
few
days
ago,
Best
Buy
seemed
to
reveal
that
it
would
have
a
price
of
$999,
and
now
more
retailers
may
have
given
us
the
release
date.
Spotted
by
Redditors,
Belgian
retailers
Fnac,
Vandenborre,
and
MediaMarkt
apparently
had
pre-order
pages
visible
for
the
Sonos
Arc
Ultra
and
the
Sonos
Sub
4,
promising
a
release
date
of
29
October
2024
for
both.
The
pre-orders
offer
a
price
of
€999
for
the
soundbar,
and
€899
for
the
Sonos
Sub
4
–
all
of
which
are
in
line
with
expectations.

October
29
is
coming
up
fast,
so
we
may
get
official
information
about
the
new
soundbar
imminently
–
early
next
week
will
be
two
weeks
from
that
launch
date,
so
I
wouldn’t
be
surprised
to
see
something
arrive
then.
On
top
of
this
release
date
revelation,
a
load
more
images
that
are
claimed
to
be
of
the
Arc
Ultra
have
leaked
on
Reddit,
too.
There’s
a
combination
of
product
shots
and
lifestyle
images,
and
they
appear
to
confirm
that
the
soundbar
will
work
with
the
Sonos
Ace
headphones
(not
that
anyone
had
any
doubt
about
that,
especially
since
they
were
updated
to
work
with
the
Beam
and
Ray
soundbars).
Sonos
Arc
Ultra
leak
(again)
from
r/sonos
The
Sonos
Arc
Ultra
is
exciting
because
it’s
claimed
to
be
the
first
product
with
a
new
kind
of
speaker
tech,
which
Sonos
appears
to
be
calling
‘Sound
Motion’
based
on
previous
leaks,
but
was
previously
known
as
Mayht
Heart
Motion
before
Sonos
bought
the
company.
These
drivers
are
much
smaller
than
traditional
speaker
designs,
but
can
apparently
deliver
the
same
power
and
depth.
They’re
said
to
be
used
here,
though
we
don’t
know
in
exactly
what
form
yet
–
the
likelihood
is
that
they’ll
provide
much
more
bass
and
mid-range
power
from
the
bar.

The
original
Sonos
Arc
still
rates
among
the
best
soundbars
you
can
buy
today,
and
I’ve
written
before
why
I
think
the
Arc’s
successor
could
be
one
of
the
best
tech
releases
of
the
year.
And
if
Sonos
can
keep
its
improved
app
on
its
positive
track
by
adding
features
and
fixing
the
reliability,
we
could
be
onto
a
real
winner
here.
Looks
like
we’ll
find
out
one
way
or
the
other
soon.
