Sonos Launches Sonos 27 Audio OS With Beam Ultra And Ace Ultra
Sonos announced Sonos 27, a new version of the audio operating system it has developed for more than 20 years, on September 2. The release names the system Sonos has built to date and adds AI control, home-wide sound linking, and a redesigned app. Two new products join the lineup. Beam Ultra is a mid-size soundbar with nine custom drivers, two of them upward-firing, for 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos, priced at 99,800 yen. Ace Ultra is an over-ear headphone with 40mm drivers, adaptive noise cancellation using 10 microphones, and up to 35 hours of battery life with ANC on, priced at 69,800 yen. Sonos 27 arrives as a software update on all Sonos S2-compatible products, though some features need compatible hardware. The new app navigation and Sonos 27mcp roll out as early access starting September 8. Headphone Linking comes to Ace Ultra as early access starting September 29.
