The new device will replace the aging Playbar soundbar, which launched in 2013, and serve as a higher-end alternative to the smaller Beam soundbar it released in 2018. It will also bump out the Playbase sound system the company introduced in 2017. > The device costs $799, which is $100 more than the Playbar’s starting price. It’s up for pre-order today and will start shipping on June 10.
