The Verge says the speakers will offer “the richest single-speaker fidelity” in Sonos’ history, and other features will include USB-C input, Wi-Fi 6 support, and low-power Bluetooth.
There are fewer details about the Era 100, but both new speakers will have a new design that supports auto-tuning and sound optimization.
The new Era speaker launch date and price are still unknown, Sonos is also developing a second generation of “Move” speakers and plans to launch a new product category in 2023, but the details are not yet clear.
