Introduced in 2013, Sonos’ Playbar is long-overdue for a redesign. Sonos now appears set to release a modernized unit with a fresh look and upgraded features like Dolby Atmos sometime in June.
Sonos could soon release a new Playbar, replacing its top-tier soundbar that debuted in 2013. Zatz Not Funny obtained images of the still-unofficial product, and it’s clear that Sonos plans to align the new Playbar’s appearance with the rest of its lineup through a complete redesign.
Just as it does with the Beam and One, Sonos should sell the new Playbar in two colors. The leaked renders highlight the Playbar in both black and white. It seems slimmer and much more modern, resembling other audio equipment that Sonos has introduced in the last two years. Ultimately, Sonos wants to unify its design language across all soundbars, speakers, and accessories. From the look of this redesigned Playbar, it’ll definitely accomplish that.
Zatz Not Funny didn’t retrieve images of the ports, however.
