Sonos introduces Sonos 27, the next generation audio operating system.

Sonos introduces Sonos 27, the next generation audio operating system. SANTA BARBARA: Sonos has introduced Sonos 27, the latest version of the audio operating system the company has spent more than two decades building. Sonos 27 brings a new set of features that expand its open platform and adaptability: AI control through multiple assistants and agents, new ways to move sound around the home, a redesigned app, and two new flagship products globally, Sonos Beam Ultra and Sonos Ace Ultra. General availability for both in India will be announced soon. Additionally, the India market will see the general availability of Sonos Play on Sept 8, the brand's most versatile speaker with rich stereo sound that's designed to live at home and move seamlessly beyond it. "Twenty years ago, we made a bet that the rest of the industry is only now arriving at - a home deserves an audio operating system made just for it," said Tom Conrad, CEO of Sonos. "We built our system around a shared love of music and the belief that nothing sets the mood like great sound. Sonos 27 takes that further, bringing acoustic engineering, adaptable software, intelligence and design together in a way only Sonos can. This is just the start of what our audio operating system can do." An open approach to AI Sonos 27 gives listeners the option to control their system using any AI they prefer, a natural progression of the company's open platform philosophy. Sonos is introducing Sonos 27voice, the company's own assistant built for music and mood curation, and Sonos 27mcp, which lets you connect any outside AI assistant or agent to your system, including OpenAI's ChatGPT. "With this Sonos integration, people can ask ChatGPT to play music anywhere in their home from their phone or computer, without leaving the conversation they're having," said Atty Eleti, product lead for ChatGPT Voice at OpenAI. "It's a simple way to stay in the moment, and we're excited to bring it to Sonos listeners around the world." Sonos also previewed where its open platform goes next with Sonos Custom Agents, which will let people create their own agents through the system, each with its own model, persona and voice. "The smartest home isn't run by one do-everything assistant, it's run by people having the ability to pick - or create - the right agent for each job. That's what Sonos' open platform gives you." said Nick Millington, Chief Innovation Officer.

Sonos enters its 'Ultra' era with new Ace and Beam models on the way.

Sonos enters its 'Ultra' era with new Ace and Beam models on the way. Two years ago, Sonos took its first crack at making headphones and came out the other side only slightly scathed. It may even have learned a thing or two. Stuff Group had a good time with the cans, though they were a little pricey, at least compared to the stiffest competition. Now, Sonos is back with the Ace Ultra, with a few big improvements. At the same time, Sonos unveiled the new Beam Ultra soundbar, yet another refresh of a beloved Sonos entry. The Beam line was long overdue for a refresh, with the second-gen Beam releasing all the way back in 2021. Still, it's better late than never. Sonos, after a turbulent couple of years, is focused on audio more than ever. Getting that Ultra sound. Sonos doesn't want you to judge the Beam Ultra off its small stature alone. Improvements include a wider soundstage, deeper bass, and enhanced dialogue with the help of, surprise surprise, AI. Under the hood sit nine drivers (two of which are upward-firing), five tweeters (two side- and two upward-firing, with one in the centre), and four woofers to cap it all. The final result is a soundbar that's been stretched a little to accommodate the tech. The Beam Ultra supports 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos surround sound, and a wealth of connectivity options - Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and HDMI eARC - at its fingertips. It's meant to be a soundbar, sure, but it'll jive with the rest of the Sonos family, no problem. Even portable models, like the Move 2 and Play, can act as rear speakers when needed. As for the Sonos Ace Ultra, there isn't much to help you tell 'em apart from the old pair. From the outside, anyway. One of the best new features isn't even one that's fully out, and requires users to opt in before they can use it. That'd be the Ultra's ability to link directly with other Sonos products and move the audio from there right into the headphones. Take the audio blasting from your soundbar, for instance, and send it to the headphones. Sonos reckons doing so is as easy as a simple button press on the body. Tapping it again will send the audio back to where it originated. It's a rather classy solution that could sway even current Ace owners into upgrading. That's not to mention the massive improvements to ANC - with Sonos claiming up to 2x more ANC performance compared to the original. Battery gets a bump too, making for a solid 35 hours of listening with ANC on. Both the Sonos Ace Ultra and Beam Ultra are currently up for pre-order overseas, with a planned launch on 29 September. The cheaper of the two is the Ace Ultra, priced at $450 (~R7,300), while the Beam Ultra will set buyers back $700 (~R11,300). What they'll cost when they inevitably hit South Africa, Stuff Group can't be sure yet.

There's also a new 40mm driver, an upgraded 10 microphone array, stronger Adaptive ANC (2x the original headset), with 35 hours of battery life with ANC on, and a fast charging 3 minute charge that results in 3 hours of playback in addition to a new Adaptive EQ setting that adjusts how the headphones fit around your ears. Sonos 27.

Sonos launches Beam Ultra, Ace Ultra, Sonos 27 next-gen OS.

Sonos launches Beam Ultra, Ace Ultra, Sonos 27 next-gen OS. Sonos has launched a new soundbar in the Ace Ultra, a new pair of headphones with the Ace Ultra, and its next-gen audio OS, Sonos 27, adding AI control to the mix. Sonos 27. Sonos 27 adds AI control through multiple assistants and agents, new ways to move sound around the home, and a more intuitive app experience, which will be music to the ears of fans who love the products but not so much the app interface. The OS works with Sonos 27voice, the company's own assistant built for music and mood curation. But it also works with Sonos 27mcp, which lets you connect any outside AI assistant or agent to your system, including OpenAI's ChatGPT. "With this Sonos integration, people can ask ChatGPT to play music anywhere in their home from their phone or computer, without leaving the conversation they're having," explains Atty Eleti, Product Lead for ChatGPT Voice at OpenAI. "It's a simple way to stay in the moment, and we're excited to bring it to Sonos listeners around the world." Using Sonos Custom Agents, you can create your own agents through the system, each with its own model, persona, and voice. Sonos Fabric, meanwhile, makes it possible for Sonos products to sense each other and adapt to the moment. This fall, it powers two new features. Headphone linking connects to the new Sonos Ace Ultra directly to the Sonos system as an Early Access feature, giving listeners the ability to push and pull sound between nearby speakers and your ears. Sonos Positioning Technology uses high-frequency sound to sense a speaker's location and change its role within the system based on that. This enables the new portable surrounds feature, which lets Move 2 or Sonos Play become rear surrounds the instant they're moved into position. Sonos is also rolling out new features and improvements to its Sonos 27app, making it easier and more intuitive to navigate. Shaped and tested by the Sonos community, the Sonos 27app is one of many ways listeners can control their Sonos system, alongside Sonos 27voice and Sonos 27web. Sonos 27 will become available through a software update to all Sonos S2 products, though some features are only available on certain products. New app navigation starts rolling out September 8, alongside Sonos 27mcp in Early Access. Portable surrounds also start September 8, available to Sonos Move 2 and Sonos Play owners. Sonos Beam Ultra soundbar. The Sonos Beam Ultra maintains Beam's compact form factor while unlocking 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos. The mid-size soundbar is built with nine custom drivers, including two dedicated up-firing drivers that deliver true 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos and warmer bass. A redesigned centre channel brings clearer dialogue, with four levels of AI Speech Enhancement for when you want more clarity and Night Sound for late nights. You can add a sub for deeper bass or rear surrounds, which now can include compatible Sonos portable speakers. Sonos Ace Ultra headphones. The Sonos Ace Ultra boasts a new driver, next-generation Adaptive ANC, and a direct connection to the Sonos system. The new premium over-ear headphone are built with a Sonos-designed 40mm driver and feature Adaptive ANC powered by 10 microphones. They offer up to 35 hours of battery life with ANC on. They're the first headphone built on Headphone Engine 2, new hardware that lets you link the headphone directly into the Sonos system, available in Early Access. One press pushes whatever's playing on your Sonos system to your headphones, another press pulls it back, without needing a phone in range. Using both together. With the new software experience, Beam Ultra groups and bonds with other Sonos speakers for multiroom listening and home theatre and Sonos Ace Ultra taps into that same system through headphone linking. Trueplay tunes Beam Ultra to any room, and TrueCinema does the same for Sonos Ace Ultra when it's pulling sound from a compatible soundbar. Beam Ultra connects over WiFi, Bluetooth, and HDMI eARC, and Sonos Ace Ultra adds USB-C and 3.5mm. Beam Ultra and Sonos Ace Ultra will be available for pre-order starting September 1, 2026 priced at US$699 and US$449, respectively, with general availability on September 29, 2026.
