What a year it’s been. We’ve seen gorgeous stereo separates and pioneering TVs, been impressed by wireless headphones, and enjoyed plenty of Dolby Atmos soundbars. And it got us thinking…what will happen in 2024?
If rumors are to be believed, there are a lot of them. We can expect a new LG OLED TV, a slew of new products from Sonos (including some amazing ones), new AirPods, a new Apple TV, a successor to the award-winning Sony WH-1000XM5, and maybe even more. I am. another PS5 version. There’s a lot more to it than that.
Based on leaks, rumors, and a fairly predictable production schedule, here’s some of the fun things you can look forward to next year…
Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones
The award-winning Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless over-ear headphones were launched in the summer of 2022, two years after the XM4 (and two years after the XM3). Therefore, we should see a break cover for the WH-1000XM6 in the warmer months of 2024. We expect a more premium design, better noise cancellation, and longer battery life. They have a lot to improve on, but we think there’s still room for improvement…

LG C4 and LG G4 TVs
LG’s OLED TVs continue to impress, but this year’s LG C3 is only a slight improvement over the LG C2, leaving room for Sony’s A80L to sneak in and gain an edge. LG is looking to reclaim the mid-range TV throne in 2024 with the LG C4. Also, his flagship G4 is said to be equipped with a higher refresh rate, so big results are expected.

sonos set top box
Yes, it is. The king of multi-room audio is rumored to be developing a set-top box. Not much is known about it at the moment, but Sonos is said to be in talks with Netflix about creating an app for it. Powered by the Android operating system, it is expected to be released in late 2024 or early 2025. Look out for Apple TV…

Apple TV 4K (2024)
Speaking of Apple TV, the latest model will be its second model next year, and it’s slowly gaining momentum in the fast-moving world of video streamers. So we’re hoping for a refresh. The wish list for the 2024 model includes a new processor (likely the A16 chip from the iPhone 14 Pro/iPhone 15), more modern Wi-Fi standards, and a lower price. As it turns out, the 2022 model was actually cheaper than its predecessor, which certainly caught the attention of What Hi-Fi? Awarded in both 2022 and 2023.

new AirPods
Sticking with Apple, 2024 could bring us plenty of new AirPods. AirPods 3 was released in 2022, so it’s likely that they’ll get a refresh, but AirPods Pro 2 just launched this year, so it’s unlikely they’ll get a refresh in 2024. Nothing can stop us from speculating about what to expect). AirPods Max turns four years old next year – could Apple finally announce a new version of its premium over-ear headphones? And what will happen to the cheaper AirPods Lite that have been rumored for years?

Sonos Arc (Gen 2) Soundbar
A sequel to the two-time award-winning Sonos Arc is on the way. Rumor has it that the Arc (Gen 2) will be even more high-end than the original (with a hefty price tag to match), offering better bass and overall enhanced sound quality. Could we see full DTS support as part of the package? Are you also considering a rival to Sennheiser’s Ambeo Max?

sonos wireless headphones
Sonos is said to be developing more than just Arc (Gen 2) and set-top boxes. There have been rumors for years that wireless headphones are in the works, and 2024 could be the year we finally see them. Sonos is said to be scrapping earlier designs (some dating back to 2019) and going back to the drawing board, with wireless earphones in an over-ear design likely to be introduced in the next year or two. Seamless integration with the Sonos ecosystem is expected, but will it be able to compete on all the other fronts needed in the ultra-competitive headphone market? We might find out as early as April.

iPhone16
A September iPhone launch is the safest bet you can make on the technology timeline, and thanks to all the leaks, we usually have a pretty good idea of what to expect from the iPhone itself. . Rumors (admittedly very early) suggest that the screen size of certain models could change due to more efficient panel technology, new processors, and customizable action buttons appearing on all variants. says. Expect more rumors by September 2024.

PS5 pro
October saw the launch of PS5 Slim, a thinner and lighter version of the largest gaming console in history. But more could be on the horizon. As evidenced by Sony’s history (they launched the PS4 Pro three years after the original PS4), rumors about the PS5 Pro have been swirling for years. The rumors have since died down a bit, but with the official announcement of the PS5 Slim, could we expect a more premium model to hit store shelves in 2024? We certainly hope so.
