When the world is fighting COVID-19 Sonos is releasing new hardware why??

Since Sonos first released its Playbar in 2013 a lot of changes in the world of home theatre have taken place. Keeping this in mind and the changing trends due to COVID-19 that is forcing people to stay at home Sonos decided to announce the Arc and another hardware set. This will motivate the people to stay at home and enjoy music or shows on Sonos Arc.

What makes these new Sonos devices different?

When compared with previous devices, the new third-generation Sonos Sub has more processing power and memory. Moreover, it offers a wireless radio to connect with the rest of the system.

However, Sonos Five has the same acoustic design with more memory and a new white color.

This, of course, is an amazing announcement. I am looking forward to these devices. Once the lockdown is over, I will try them. What will you do?  Will you give it a try? Do let us know in the comments section below.
