Fall audio products preview

Apple may only have a USB-C update to its AirPods lineup in the immediate works but the rest of the world of consumer audio products isn’t resting. Here are two announced and one rumored product launch that have me excited from some of my favorite brands in the space. 

You can expect reviews on nearly all of these products as I secure units.

Sonos Moves 2 a more exciting portable offering

The Sonos Move was a product that I could never recommend for a multitude of reasons despite its rabid fanbase. It was expensive, heavy, and had limited functionality as a portable, plus subpar battery life. So why am I excited about the Move 2?

The Move 2 is $50 more expensive than its predecessor at $449 and still quite heavy thanks to its 44Wh battery (all in it weighs the same as the original Move). But, with this generation, I feel Sonos has done enough to warrant not only the price increase, but also entirely justify the concept the original Move was trying to meet.

The Move 2, like the Era 100, makes the jump to stereo tweeters over its predecessor, but has the same sized midwoofer as the Move. I found the Era 100 to provide more detailed sound than the Sonos One, even if it still can’t provide much stereo separation, thanks to the nixing of downmixing stereo tracks to mono output. I expect many of the same benefits to carry over to the Move 2, and Sonos has confirmed to me that Era 100 owners looking at a Move 2 should expect comparable sound quality out of both products. 

The increase of battery life from 11 to 24 hours will likely be the biggest reason most users upgrade or finally grab a Move 2. The JBL Xtreme series, arguably the default “large portable speaker” in the minds of most consumers, had the original Move’s battery life beat by 5 hours. Ultimate Ears’ Megaboom 3 was pushing 20 hours of battery. Sonos now has nearly all of its closest size competitors beat with a claimed 24 hours of battery, matching the massive JBL Boombox 3. I greatly look forward to testing Sonos’ claims. 

Sonos has also upgraded the wireless capabilities of the Move 2 to be on par with the Sonos Roam. Bluetooth can now be used alongside Wi-Fi, allowing you to use the Move 2 as a Bluetooth transmitter for the rest of your Sonos system (the previous generation made you switch between Bluetooth or Wi-Fi). The upgrade to Wi-Fi 6 should also make wireless connections more reliable on crowded networks provided you have a compatible router.

If Sonos meets expectations it could have the ultimate kitchen speaker on its hands. A great sounding speaker that is meant to live in one place but can easily be brought anywhere you’d like music in a pinch, with reliable battery life for longer days.

Bose (possibly) rectifies its headphone offering

Thanks to the always intrepid Chris Welch, we were treated to some photos of Bose’s upcoming wireless headphones courtesy of The Verge: the QuietComfort Ultra. These headphones look like the true update to the iconic QuietComfort headphone silhouette Bose should have shipped instead of the bold but ultimately compromised NC 700. 

The NC 700 were a direct response to the rapid rise of Sony’s WH-1000xm line, and were the kickoff to the annoying trend of wireless headphones ditching the ability to fold into a compact carrying case. Now, Bose is returning to a refreshed design that is clearly in-step with the current QC45 headphones, but with premium touches and updates to the tried and true profile. 

Welch also reports that Bose will be showcasing its take on the spatial audio trend. I’m immediately skeptical of this without confirmation the headphones will actually be decoding Dolby Atmos audio. If Bose is just messing with stereo tracks, I’m doubtful this will be more than a gimmick people quickly disable in their control apps, but I’ll need to get my hands on a unit once Bose actually confirms a release. 

Welch was also able to confirm a successor to the incredible QuietComfort Earbuds II is in the works, also taking on the Ultra branding. These won’t be a design refresh but will adopt Bose’s spatial audio implementation.

The QC45 are still the most comfortable wireless headphones you can buy and I’m thrilled to see that Bose is sticking with what works as it fills the premium gap in its lineup the NC 700 never quite satisfied. We’ll have to wait for Bose’s official announcement to learn more.

Jabra takes its shot at the AirPods Pro

Jabra announced its new flagship wireless earbuds at IFA with the Jarba Elite 8 ($199) and Elite 10 ($249)- true successors to the Elite 85t. The Elite 8 look like they could be the natural evolution of the compact earbud shape Jabra has been tweaking since the Elite 7 Pro came out two years ago. They’re insanely durable, with ratings that go above and beyond what we typically see from earbud manufacturers. They’re IP68 rated for full water submersion and dust resistance, but also meet the U.S. Military Standard for ruggedized electronics at (810H according to Jabra). They’ve also undergone HACT testing for exposure to corrosive environments like high heat, humidity, and salt water. If you live by a beach and find that your daily runs near the ocean are taking a toll on your gadgets, the Elite 8 have the certifications to show they should earn your confidence. 

The Elite 10 are more of a next-step in Jabra’s design, with a primary focus on comfort and sound quality being their big draw. Jabra says the buds fit by sitting near the outside of your ear instead of needing to be twisted in your canal for a good seal, while still promising the best ANC the company has ever delivered. Hefty claims for sure, and the Elite 10 bears the price tag to match, going head to head with the second gen AirPods Pro at $249. This is definitely the pair from Jabra I’m most eager to review. Jabra has always offered outstanding earbuds for those on a budget, so let’s see what it can do at the top end of the market. 

Both the Elite 8 and 10 offer various implementations of Dolby Atmos, with the Elite 10 offering Dolby head tracking to round out the experience. Like with Bose, you can color me skeptical until proven otherwise here, but it’s at least good to see that Jabra worked with Dolby on these implementations instead of going it alone like we’ve seen from other brands that offer “3D” sound profiles.

omg omg omg !!!

so i got up early this morning around 3am(ish) did my morning run and swim, went in to work for a few hours, and then took my auntie to a shit load of doctor’s appointments, and got home an hour or so ago

so i’m super tired bc it’s been a long ass day

and as i’m making myself a drink and some supper, and just tryna relax, i start hearing voices!! like deadass hearing voices

in my fuckn appartment

they’re faint, at first

and i’m black, so after i double check that i haven’t drank a whole bottle of vodka (i hadn’t), i just decide to stay my black ass in the room i’m in

like, if there’s a ghost or some haunted shit in my living room, guess what? as long as i can get in and out of my apartment, they’re basically a squatter that has successfully squatted my living room. that’s *their* living room now. why i gotta go into the living room to “investigate” shit?? i like to think of myself as that one brutha who lives to the end of the horror movie. i ain’t investing shit

right??

so anyway, the voices keep getting louder and louder

and i’m like, okay odin this shit definitely ain’t in your head

aaaaaand …….

i fuckn go to investigate 😬

and it turns out that the voices are coming from my sonos speakers, but i haven’t turned them on, right??

long story short, apparently one of my neighbors somehow hooked into my bluetooth and their spooky ass audio is playing through my speakers

but idk which neighbor it is

however, i noticed that a previously unknown bluetooth device is suddenly showing up on my list of devices

aha!

so i hook up to that device, put on my slow jams playlist, and ….. i can’t hear anything at all. but it shows as playing my music

i figure that my playlist is now playing on somebody’s bluetooth speakers, while their phone conversation is playing on mine

i finally disconnected the foreign bluetooth device, disconnect all of my bluetooth devices, and when i reconnected everything, it was all back to normal

so no ghosts or anything

A weird thing is happening with my iphone which is all of the sudden changing the volume on an external speaker changes the volume on the phone itself. It is driving me INSANE. Historically, and especially with a sonos speaker, you played the music through the speaker and controlled the volume of the speaker separately. My bluetooth speaker and car also worked this way, but it's most noticeable with the Sonos bc it runs on a totally different, non-bluetooth connection. But all of the sudden if I increase the volume on the sonos (or anywhere else), it increases the volume of the PHONE. It's driving me INSANE. Sometimes I want the phone to be quiet and the sonos to be loud, or vice versa. But regardless of what I want something has CHANGED and I don't know what or why! or what to do!!

I want to have a speaker on my bedside drawer to play stuff like this as I'm going to sleep, and it's amazing that this is such a pain considering how many huge companies are eagerly jumping into this space. If you want no voice assistant (hell to the fuck no), both bluetooth and line in audio, and you want decent bass (can't hear the starship rumble with those crummy tweeters on many low-end speakers), the options are quite limited! Maybe the Sonos One SL, but that's a fair chunk of cash for something that will just be playing white/brown noise at night.

sooooooo… chapter 11……….

kidding… i just love this fic so much ur insane me thinks

Chapter 11 is SEVENTEEN little vignettes. SEVENTEEN. It’s not ready!! BUT I can give you a little (rough draft) preview of one of the vignettes:

At this point, Jade is pacing so hard around the room that she’s wearing a circle into Kit’s rug. Her hands are in her hair, pulling at her curls, and she continues to mutter over and over, “I’m going to fail, oh my god, I’m going to fail.”

Kit quickly connects her phone to Bluetooth and stops Jade in her tracks, hands on either shoulder.

“Jade, stop.” She forces the other girl to look at her.

Jade’s eyes are frantic and grow wide when Kit presses play, and Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off starts to play loudly over the SONOS speakers.

“Dance party time,” Kit says. She grabs Jade’s hand and twirls her around, forcing her to dance.

Sonos Era 300 and Era 100 Smart Speakers Unveiled, Will Arrive On March 28

I wonder why people buy Sonos kit.

Sonos today announced a series of new commitments that are meant to demonstrate the company’s “renewed focus” on software quality and customer experience. … Recent reports have suggested that Sonos employees raised an alarm prior to when the redesigned Sonos app launched in May. The app was an immediate disappointment to customers because it was riddled with bugs and missing many key Sonos features, and there was significant outcry over the downgrade. Sonos was not able to roll back the changes, and has spent 2024 trying to fix the app. – Juli Clover, MacRumors

I read that as Sonos being sad that they didn’t do what they should have done, sad if customers feel Sonos didn’t do the right thing in making their stuff work badly, and maybe following basic development protocols is the way for everyone to not be so sad. One of those protocols, in software and IT and networking and a bunch of other industries, is to be able to back out if it doesn’t go well. We called it “Last Known Good State” or something like that at one job.

I used to be all in on Sonos. My 1st disappointment was when I ordered my second pair of speakers & the day they arrived Audible was no longer available. Then the Play:5 was shipped with a bad wifi module. Support suggested I used ethernet (not practical for where it was placed) or ship it back for a credit for a future purchase. They didn’t even offer a replacement unit after the return period. Then my various Sonos speakers would lose their mind and stop working without a hard reset. Then Sonos threatened to brick some of the units I had.

Luckily I was leaving Japan at that point and the market there was hot for Sonos. Even with all of my warnings there was a bidding war for my kit. They were welcome to it. I swore I would never wade in to “smart” speakers again … and then in the pandemic I bought OG HomePods. As they die I’ll likely return to a simpler wired and Bluetooth (non-subscription, non-proprietary) setup.

And I feel I need to add this: if Sonos repeatedly treats its customers poorly as they’ve done for years, they’re unlikely to change. Maybe don’t buy their kit.
