According to rumours, a successor model to the Sonos Arc will be released this year. It is expected to bring revised speakers, more bass and Bluetooth.

Chris Welch from "The Verge" has once again published a Sonos leak. It is unclear where his information comes from - so it should be treated with caution. Nevertheless, you can assume that it won't be too long before a successor to the Sonos Arc comes onto the market. It may therefore be worth waiting a little longer before making a purchase. The new "ultra-premium" soundbar should be available by the end of the year and will be slightly more expensive than the previous Sonos Arc.

According to Welch, the successor model is currently in the beta phase and has the code name Lasso. Externally, it hardly differs from the Sonos Arc, but inside it does. The speakers are said to have been completely redeveloped. Sonos is reportedly utilising the expertise of Dutch start-up Mayht, which Sonos bought for 100 million dollars in 2022. It is still unclear how this sounds, but rumours are circulating that Lasso has significantly better bass than the Arc.

The leaked image of the back clearly shows that Lasso has a Bluetooth button - so unlike the previous Arc, the new soundbar should also be playable via Bluetooth. Lasso will also be the second soundbar after the Arc to work in conjunction with the new Sonos Ace headphones - hopefully better than when we tested them
