Arc

Sonos has announced price increases for several products in its Swedish market, including the Arc Ultra soundbar and Sub 4 subwoofer.

The updated pricing places the Arc Ultra at SEK 11,549 and the Sub 4 at SEK 10,999, reflecting a SEK 1,000–2,000 increase.

Other products, such as the Sonos Five speaker and Sonos Port music streamer, also experience similar price adjustments.

Sonos faced backlash over a problematic 2024 app update, removing key features like sleep timers and local NAS streaming.

CEO Patrick Spence and Chief Product Officer Maxime Bouvat-Merlin both stepped down amidst mounting customer and shareholder dissatisfaction.

Reports indicate engineers' warnings about the app's readiness were ignored, leading to stability issues and financial downturns.
