SONOS BEAM ULTRA DELIVERS ARC-LEVEL SOUND AT $699

The Beam Ultra represents a significant upgrade for Sonos's soundbar lineup, bringing spatial audio capabilities to a more accessible price point. At $699, the device sits above entry-level options but below the premium Arc tier, yet delivers nearly equivalent sound quality. The soundbar's Atmos support enables height channels for immersive audio, a feature typically found in higher-end systems. This positions the Beam Ultra as a compelling mid-range option for users seeking cinematic sound without flagship pricing. Separately, Sonos has also updated its headphone lineup with the Ace Ultra, which improves upon the original Ace model. The upgrade includes more reliable headphone linking functionality, even in early deployment phases. Both releases indicate Sonos's strategy of expanding audio capabilities across price tiers, making Atmos and advanced features available to broader audiences.
