I’ve tested every major Sonos product, from the ancient Play:1 and Play:5 to the latest Era 100, Era 300 speakers, and flagship Arc Ultra soundbar. Apart from their recent app troubles, my experience over the years has always been overwhelmingly positive. Here are my favorite aspects of Sonos:

The latest Starfleet Academy episode has a special treat for me because it has Dolby Atmos! I think it’s the first time a Star Trek episode has been released with Dolby Atmos!
Before this episode the only Star Trek I know of that’s available with it are the 4K Blu-rays for Star Trek TMP and the three kelvin timeline films!
Actually it seems all Starfleet Academy episodes have Dolby Atmos so far but this is the first one I managed to play with it..
*edit*
Anyway, here’s hoping the next season of Strange New Worlds also has it!

I just heard the Jurassic films are getting another 4K release on Blu-ray and IMHO the wild part is that they are changing the format of the audio to Dolby Atmos rather than the DTS equivalent, DTS:X
The reason is because Jurassic Park had such history with DTS being the movie that introduced it!
DTS:X is a fine immersive format and I think some films have better immersive audio tracks in it..
Also, there’s equipment that has more or better features in DTS:X than Atmos. (better features like support for more advanced speaker layouts with more speakers than the typical home immersive audio setup)
But I suppose it doesn’t have as much traction as Atmos especially because Atmos is the defacto standard for streaming!
I don’t think DTS has a streaming version of DTS:X and for the longest time not even a streaming format at all and that’s caused the situation where Dolby is the defacto standard for streaming other than AAC which doesn’t support immersive audio directly!
And since Atmos was becoming the standard it’s gotten much more traction and adoption than DTS:X so it might be going the way of the betamax..

CES 2026 (Jan. 6–9 in Las Vegas) didn’t feel like a “future tech” show as much as a “right now” show. The big shift: AI wasn’t treated like a standalone product category anymore. It was the invisible layer powering everything from streaming discovery to robots that can actually do work.

TBH in the recent 4K remaster of Tron (1982) the new Dolby Atmos track doesn’t make the movie as hi fidelity or as bombastic sounding as the sequels but it is an improvement over the previous 5.1 track when played back on the appropriate Dolby Atmos setup!
Especially for example in how audible the MCP is in the rear in scenes where he’s talking to Sark
I still hate the new placement of Sark’s identity disk speech in the Atmos mix though.. they should have placed it over the audience’s left shoulder and elevated up to match where Flynn was looking. It was more like that in the old surround mix for the previous edition..
They placed it front left in the Atmos mix..
