Better Streaming: Sonos Zone Player Z90, ZP120 and BU150:


Sonos has recently announced their new products; Sonos has not announced hardware for a while now so we are taking note on these new ones. They have just announced the Z90, ZP120 and BU150 bundle.

The Z90 will set you back $350, ZP120 $500 and the BU150 bundle will be $1,000, the bundle will include both devices and the same original controller.

The main difference between them is that they now support SonosNet 2.0, which basically uses MIMO to double the wireless distance between nodes. The ZP120 is the amp-enabled aluminum-clad flagship model and is much lighter in weight which now leaves it a lot smaller than its predecessor; it will still be capable of driving 55W of sound.

Sonos are also giving us the 2.6 version of its desktop software which will index much more music than before giving a whopping 65k tracks total, it will also gibe new and existing users $200 in free music from sites like eMusic and Livedownloads.

Check out more images over on Engadget.

Sonos launch ZP120 and Z90 with SonosNet 2.0 support


We have been waiting for what seems a lifetime for a new piece of hardware from Sonos, but now the wait is finally over. Sonos is launching the ZP120 and the Z90, they are also being released as a bundle, the BU150 bundle will also come with the same original controller.

To look at the ZP120 and Z90, they are no different to other Sonos models, but it is the support for SonosNet 2.0 that improves these over other models. This system uses MIMO; this doubles the wireless distance between nodes.

For those with a keen eye, they will notice that the ZP120 has gone on a diet and shed a few pounds over its predecessor. Although it is lighter, the ZP120 portable home audio system still pushes out 55 watts of sounds.

Sonos are also launching a newer version of their desktop software, version 2.6. This new software will index more music than before, 65,000 tracks in total. The new software also gives new and existing users $200 of free music.

Visit Engadget where they have the full unboxing of these systems.
