Sonos recently announced that it would be increasing the price of two of its products. Starting January 9, the Port and the Amp, which are two of the company’s high-end audio components, will cost $50 more than they previously had. The reason for this is because Sonos is moving some production out of China — and into Malaysia — so that the company can avoid tariffs. Basically, if you were thinking about buying one of these products, you should consider doing so before the 9th (next Thursday).
Sonos Port
SonosThe Port connects to your existing stereo or receiver and then allows that to use that connected system just like a Sonos speaker. You can stream music from Spotify or Apple Music directly to the system, and you can integrate it with your other Sonos speakers in a multi-room sound system. Another neat feature is that the Port has a 12-volt trigger, which enables the Port to automatically turn on your connected receiver when signaled through the Sonos app. (Your receiver must support a 12-volt trigger, however, which many old ones do not.)
Previously $399, the Port will cost $449 starting January 9.
