Last week Sonos unveiled several new features coming to its app soon, and now the first of those upgrades are here in the ‘Sonos 27’ app update. Here are the details.

Following the example of iOS 27 and others, Sonos is moving to a ‘Sonos 27’ naming scheme for its software platform. Today via a new app update on the App Store, Sonos 27 has officially arrived. It’s available for “all Sonos S2 products,” though feature availability can vary by product.

Here’s what’s available now, per Sonos: Portable Surrounds allow two of the same portable Sonos speakers (Move 2 or Sonos Play) to become rear surrounds when paired with a compatible soundbar. The new app navigation includes a redesigned app with simpler navigation, swipe gestures and pinned rooms. Headphone Linking (Early Access) lets Ace Ultra headphones connect to your Sonos system. Sonos 27 MCP (Early Access) connects AI assistants including ChatGPT and Claude.

Coming soon: Sonos 27 Voice (later this fall) and Sonos Custom Agents (2027). Sonos caused a stir with its major app redesign a few years ago; today’s change is much smaller. What do you think of the Sonos 27 app changes?
