Sonos ‘Fury’ budget soundbar leaks ahead of expected June launch

Sonos’ next product could be available as soon as June. The Verge has provided details and renderings of the Sonos Beam’s next launch. It will be a budget soundbar. However, it may have another use as Dolby Atmos surround speakers paired with Sonos’ flagship Arc soundbar.

Today, The Verge revealed exclusive details about the Sonos soundbar. These renderings were based on images that it had seen. Codenamed “Fury”/model “S36” internally, the latest speaker from the company is a bit smaller than the existing Sonos Beam by about 4-inches in length.

It’s allegedly going to land with black and white finishes and a price around $249 – $200 below the gen 2 Beam – and cut out some of the niceties like Dolby Atmos support, HDMI, and built-in mics.

The new budget soundbar will be connected via the optical audio cable included as the primary physical I/O. The Verge claims it will be able to extend the soundbar’s wireless range to create a surround sound system with compatible Sonos speakers.

Other details include a vertical mount that will allow the new soundbar to act as Atmos surrounds on the Arc soundbar. The Verge also highlights that Sonos has a smaller, more affordable subwoofer in the works codenamed S37 – but launch and price details aren’t known.

The new Sonos soundbar is expected to launch on June 7, so it shouldn’t be too much longer before we hear official details from the company like the real name, specs, and more.

We also learned that Sonos is working on its Home Theater OS. We’ll have to wait and see if more will be revealed about that effort along with the new soundbar.
