New Sonos Speakers Revealed With WiFi 6

What could be the rumored Sonos Optimo line of speakers has passed through US and Canadian regulatory bodies.

New Sonos Soundbar In The Flesh!

While branding remains in question (is it the 2020 Playbar, Arc, or Apollo?), there’s no question Sonos is posed to release a brand-spanking new soundbar – likely with Dolby Atmos upwards firing speakers.
