The current $349 Connect is nearly a decade old and doesn&#8217;t support many modern inputs. Sonos released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sonos-versatile-amplifier-powering-entertainment\/dp\/B07LD8NN37?tag=androidcentralb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUacUdUnU78270YYr\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow\">its $599 Amp<\/a> last year, which allows traditional non-powered speakers to work with Sonos systems, so it makes sense a Connect refresh would be forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>But more interesting is the appearance of a speaker, whose named hasn&#8217;t yet leaked but all of its other pertinent details we&#8217;ve now learned. In traditional Sonos fashion, the speaker appears to be well-built, with a rubberized base, mesh speaker grills and metal frame, along with capacitive buttons up top. <em>The Verge<\/em> learned that it sits on a base to provide power, and can easily be transitioned between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth depending on the audio source.<\/p>\n<p>While the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sonos-One-Gen-Controlled-Built\/dp\/B07NJQFL4X?tag=androidcentralb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUacUdUnU78270YYr\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sonos One<\/a> has a Bluetooth LE radio to facilitate easier setup, this would be the perfect Bluetooth-supported Sonos speaker, allowing phones to connect to it to play music and other audio content. Presumably, the speaker has a sizeable battery inside it, and appears to charge via USB-C when not in the dock.<\/p>\n<p>When docked, the speaker will operate like any other Sonos speaker, connecting to a household system for whole-home audio, or sync with another identical speaker to create a stereo pair. According to the leaks, the speaker is larger and wider than the Sonos One, and also supports hands-free Google Assistant and Alexa.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/next-sonos-product-will-be-hi-fi-bluetooth-speaker-twist\" title=\"The next Sonos product will be a hi-fi Bluetooth speaker with a twist\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/field\/image\/2019\/06\/sonos-one-smart-speaker-main-73fq.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When in Bluetooth mode, the speaker is separate from the Sonos ecosystem and is fully controlled by the phone connected to it, which may come as a disappointment to some looking for a fuller-featured Bluetooth speaker in the style of Ultimate Ears&#8217; BOOM series, but there may be more to the story than we know right now.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Sonos is reportedly working on a new version of Trueplay that would use its built-in microphones to optimize audio output. Right now, Trueplay is performed exclusively through the company&#8217;s iOS app and is a fussy manual process.<\/p>\n<p>With the Play:1 at $149 and the Sonos One at $199, one would expect this new speaker to fall somewhere in the middle, though it&#8217;s possible, given its extra size and feature set, it may be one of the more expensive Bluetooth speakers you&#8217;ll be able to buy.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BEGIN RECO-BLOCK --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"category reco-block\">The best Sonos for most people<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"product\">Sonos One<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/next-sonos-product-will-be-hi-fi-bluetooth-speaker-twist\" title=\"The next Sonos product will be a hi-fi Bluetooth speaker with a twist\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.androidcentral.com\/sites\/androidcentral.com\/files\/styles\/large\/public\/article_images\/2019\/01\/sonos-one-cropped-black.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sonos-One-Gen-Controlled-Built\/dp\/B07NJQFL4X?tag=androidcentralb-20&amp;ascsubtag=UUacUdUnU78270YYr\" title=\"\" class=\"cta shop\" rel=\"nofollow\">$198 at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"end\">To have one Sonos speaker is to have a vessel for nearly every streaming service on the planet, with amazing sound to boot.
