<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/10/sonos_1_black_21.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600)</div><p>Sonos previously teased (https://9to5mac.com/2017/10/04/sonos-says-airplay-2-and-siri-control-coming-next-year/) AirPlay 2 support for its speakers. In a new announcement (https://www.macobserver.com/news/tmo-scoop/sonos-airplay-2-details/) to MacObserver, the story is a little bit more nuanced. The company has said that AirPlay 2 will only be compatible with the Sonos One (https://amzn.to/2Hss8um), Sonos Play:5 (https://amzn.to/2FhczPW) and the Playbase (https://amzn.to/2Jr28vK). Older speakers will not natively support AirPlay 2.</p>
<p>The launch date for AirPlay 2 remains unclear. The whole-home audio solution continues to show up in developer seeds of iOS, but Apple has not provided a specific timeline since it was delayed. Clearly, Sonos are actively working on it however …</p>
