Sonos are finally leaving their oldest devices in the dust as they end software updates for their first products ever.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n

Sonos have revealed that they won’t be sending out software updates for their legacy products anymore. This is part of a phasing out of their older and, to be fair, outdated products which they’ve added to a trade-up program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will no longer update the software for Sonos Zone Players, The Connect and Connect:Amp, 1st generation Play:5s, CR200 controllers, and the Bridge. These are all available to trade in for a discount on newer Sonos products so customers can upgrade to up-to-date models and get rid of their old ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Connect and Connect:Amp will only retired from updates if they were made before 2015. Newer models will continue to receive software updates, at least for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their blog announcement, Sonos said: “Since launching our first products, technology has advanced at an exponential rate; from streaming services and voice assistants to wireless networking and Bluetooth capabilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Through all of this transformation , we have continued delivering new features via software updates. We’re extremely proud of the fact that we build products that last a long time, and that listeners continue to enjoy them. In fact, 92% of the products we’ve ever shipped are still in use today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“However, we’ve now come to a point where some of the oldest products have been stretched to their technical limits in terms of memory and processing power.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The products can be traded in for 30% credit on a newer Sonos speaker or device. Find out more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
