Trade in and Enjoy a Smoother Listening Experience Today
If you’ve been thinking about refreshing your Sonos setup, this is the perfect moment to do so. Sonos is offering an official Upgrade Program that gives eligible owners credit toward new speakers and components, all so you can step into better sound and the latest features.
You’ll also notice Sonos has a new app that’s being actively updated with performance improvements and feature rollouts, built to handle today’s (and tomorrow’s) systems. That means a more responsive experience and ongoing enhancements as you go.
Are you still on the older S1 Controller? It’s considered a legacy path now: compatibility is limited to older products, and as platforms and services evolve, fewer devices and operating systems will support it. Keep reading to see what’s new in the app, how it differs from S1, and how MGi Systems can help you upgrade smoothly and save while you do it.

Out with the Old: The End of the Sonos S1 App
If you’ve been using the Sonos S1 Controller to run your sound system, it’s important to know that its time is coming to an end. Sonos has officially announced that the S1 app and platform are no longer receiving updates, and support for them is being phased out entirely.
That means that while your older speakers may still play music, you’ll begin to experience more limitations over time, like loss of compatibility with newer streaming services, security vulnerabilities, and issues with operating system updates. Eventually, the app will stop functioning altogether, leaving you unable to control your Sonos system from your phone or tablet. In other words, staying on S1 means you’re stuck in the past. And with how fast home audio technology evolves, that’s not a great place to be.
Meet the New Sonos App: Designed for Today’s Connected Home
The new Sonos app, the Sonos S2, is a complete refresh of how you experience and control your audio system. Sonos built it from the ground up to handle more powerful speakers, more advanced integrations, and richer sound quality. One of the first things you’ll notice is how smooth and intuitive the new interface feels. Navigation is faster, controls are more responsive, and managing multi-room audio is easier than ever. You can instantly switch between rooms, group speakers, and tweak the EQ to suit your mood from one beautifully streamlined app.
Beyond aesthetics, the new platform supports higher-resolution audio and advanced features like Dolby Atmos, delivering immersive, theater-like sound that S1 simply can’t match. It also keeps up with modern security and performance standards, so you can count on stability and regular updates well into the future. And because Sonos continues to roll out new features through this app, it’s truly the heart of the Sonos experience moving forward. With S1 being retired, upgrading ensures your system is ready for every future improvement Sonos introduces.
