Sources familiar with the company’s plans and internal documents seen by The Verge suggest the Sonos Ray (model S36 and codenamed Fury) will retail for around $249. To hit that price point, Sonos had to leave out key features like Dolby Atmos, built-in microphones and HDMI connectivity. The soundbar is also said to have fewer speakers than other models in the company’s lineup.
Sonos is rumored to have at least a couple of other new products in the pipeline for 2022 including a set of wireless headphones and a subwoofer that’s smaller and more affordable than its existing offering. Retailer Ktronix accidentally published a listing for the sound bar this week, further supporting The Verge’s claim that the product is real and likely to launch in the near future. The listing has since been removed but is still visible via Google’s cached snapshot. Image credit Jako Janse van Rensburg
