The Sonos Arc Ultra will be the successor to one of the best soundbars (and one of the most popular) in the form of the original Sonos Arc, although given the high prices we're seeing rumored for the Sonos Arc Ultra, it's entirely possible that this model will come in above the regular Arc in Sonos' range, and the first model will stick around.

Sonos itself has managed to leak details about the Arc Ultra in recent days; the company’s online store briefly featured a few tidbits about the Arc Ultra and mentioned the inclusion of “Sound Motion technology.” This is presumably the branding that Sonos has chosen for the technology that it obtained through an acquisition of Mayht in 2022.

First, the price (and it's not a small one, so hold your breath) — the Sonos Arc Ultra is going to cost $1,199. That's a whole $200 more than the $999 full price of the previous generation, and cements it securely in the premium soundbar category. But what extra goodies do we get for the extra dough?

Yesterday we reported on an apparent Sonos soundbar leak that revealed the Sonos Arc Ultra and a fairly hefty price tag of $1,199. But it seems that that particular detail may be incorrect and the price is lower – at least, we hope so, because two new claimed leaks shed more light on the Arc Ultra and another new Sonos speaker, the Sonos Sub 4.

Sonos' as-yet-unannounced flagship soundbar has received an unofficial debut via leaked images on social media.

Sonos is finally turning its attention to a new flagship soundbar and subwoofer with improved audio and direct Bluetooth playback.
