Sonos CR200 Controller Leaks: Pretty Nice For Not Being an iPhone
I kinda figured Sonos was content to let people use an iPod Touch or iPhone to control their beloved wireless audio system, but lo, here's a $350 capacitive-touch second-gen controller, leaked from their own product pages, to prove me wrong. More »

Sonos Remote Goes Touchscreen; New System Bundle On Its Way
It's fair to say that everyone would've loved it if the last remote for the Sonos wireless media systems, the $400 C100, had a touchscreen. It didn't. Years later, the CR200 does, but it might be a bit late. More »

Dealzmodo Review: The $300 Sonos Rig
Update: Best Buy is now selling the ZP80 for $200—while supplies last. I love Sonos, the super synced-up wireless music home system, but have always been a little freaked out by the price, about $750 to start, including the increasingly old-school-looking $400 scroll-wheel Controller. When I saw the Sonos iPhone Wi-Fi app—free if you've got an iPhone or iPod touch—I realized that the Controller was finally a thing of the past. Couple the app with a clearance-priced ZP80 ZonePlayer, and you can start your own Sonos rig for $300. After playing around with the latest hardware and software, I can safely say that's a hell of a deal. More » -

Sonos Audio System Brings Controller App to iPhone, Firmware 2.7 Update With Last.fm and 15,000+ Radio Stations
The new Sonos Controller app for the iPhone and iPod touch is able to manage the same audio hardware and music libraries as the CR100 unit. Whether it's controlling your music library, switching/linking zones on the fly, or adjusting the volume, the iPhone app can do everything it's bigger brother can. If you want to quickly search for an artist on Pandora or listen to your MP3 library in another room, the touchscreen interface of the iPhone really makes the whole process more intuitive and easier to manage. In addition to your music library on your computer, NAS or Time Capsule, Sonos brings Pandora, Sirius, Rhapsody and Napster control right to the iPhone, plus support for 15,000 new radio stations and Last.fm.

Sonos Improves Wi-Fi With ZonePlayer ZP90 and Small Self-Powered ZP120 Audio Streamers
Sonos upgraded their ZonePlayer lineup to the ZP 90 and the ZP 120. The ZP 90, which connects to existing home theater amplifiers, is essentially the same as the ZP 80, but now features SonosNet 2.0, which combines MIMO antennas with Sonos' existing mesh network. The ZP120, Sonos' main amplified unit, also includes SonosNet 2.0, but is also smaller (7"x3"x8" vs. 10"x4"x8") , lighter (5 lbs. vs. 10 lbs.), and has more power (55W vs 50W) than the previous ZP100.

CNet Gives Logitech Squeezebox Duet the Ol' Editor's Choice Stamp
Logitech has been dying to get into wireless whole-house audio like Sonos and not a whole lot of others. Now that CNet has favorably reviewed the $400 Squeezebox Duet we told you about at CES, it may well have a shot. In living video, our buddy John Falcone explains the Wi-Fi-powered system, and notes that, aside from DRM protected content, the Squeezebox Duet gets at "any music, anywhere" including stuff from Rhapsody, Slacker, and Pandora, plus internet radio and podcasts.

Logitech Makes Grab at Sonos' Audience with Squeezebox Duet
Logitech's Squeezebox Duet is a handheld receiver that uses 802.11g to wirelessly route music throughout your house, emanating from strategically placed little receivers—the first one included in the $400 starter kit. If this sounds familiar, it's because the most excellent but also more expensive Sonos Digital Music System does something very similar. More » -

Sonos ZoneBridge 100 Dated and Priced for EU
We broke the news just last week that a new Sonos ZoneBridge would be coming after an FCC leak. Essentially a wireless bridge for your Sonos system (allowing you to reserve a more expensive Sonos base unit for use in a room that doesn't house your router or link to stations together over greater distances), the ZoneBridge has been announced for an October 24th launch in Europe at the price of £69.00. We're hoping that this new Sonos accessory will find a cheaper price in the States than the $140 conversion would imply. Because otherwise, we're totally telling our rich uncle it's too expensive and that he shouldn't buy it. Hit the jump for a little diagram explaining how all this wireless music sharing works. UPDATE: OUR SOURCES CONFIRM THAT U.S. PRICING FOR ZONEBRIDGE WILL INDEED BE $99. More » -

Sonos Picks Up Sirius Radio Streaming
Sonos announced today that their Digital Music System, which wirelessly streams music across a house, has updated to System Software 2.3 and features Sirius Satellite Radio in addition to the Pandora and Zune services. Any Sonos system connected to the internet can subscribe to Sirius, which offers music, news and talk radio. New Sirius subscriptions cost $12.95, while current Sirius subscribers can upgrade their account to work with the Sonos for an additional $2.99. A 30-day free trial is also offered in the package so you can decide if Sirius is worth the hype. We're just glad it's not XM.[Sonos]

Sonos At Best Buy But Price Still Too High
The good news is that the previously snooty Sonos is now in a sales-distribution channel that might reach working (or collegiate binge-drinking) stiffs like us. The bad news is, the cost of a starter kit—Sonos Bundle 130 (BU130) with ZonePlayer 80 (ZP80), ZonePlayer 100 (ZP100) and Sonos Controller (CR100)—is $999. More » -

Sonos 2.0 Plus Rhapsody = Joy for $10 bucks a month?
Both WSJ Gadget Curmudgeon Walt Mossberg and BoingBoing's Ukulele-Obsessed Mark Frauenfelder are living blissfully with their Sonos 2.0 systems, streaming Rhapsody/happiness into their hearts and homes. Come again? Real Network's Sucktastic Rhapsody music service? Really? Walt says:there's a substantial minority of folks who have neither the time, knowledge, nor inclination to do all this downloading and ripping. They don't want to fool around with any PC software just to hear music. [Hell Naw!]

Sonos Adds ZonePlayer ZP80 to Family
To compliment its already well-known multi-room music systems, Sonos has added what it's calling the ZonePlayer ZP80. The new product connects to any amplified audio device through the analog or digital outputs, allowing that device to instantly become part of the wireless, multi-room system. Voila and presto. It also includes auto-sensing line-in connectors that can encode any line-in source digitally, letting you connect an external audio source (like an MP3 player or satellite radio system). Ships this Spring for $349. More »
