The Release Date of Bose S2 Pro
Bose has not yet made an official statement about the date of the presentation of the S2 Pro, there is also no information from insiders on the network. Therefore, I decided to analyze how the company usually updates its products and draw conclusions based on this information.

As we can see, the company does not frequently update products. It differs this company from many other manufacturers, they state that:
No product can be released without a significant change from the previous model.
This is done to encourage users to buy an upgraded version. Boss really takes into consideration all consumer’s comments to improve a new generation of its devices.
In May 2023, the company updated the lineup and released the Bose S1 Pro Plus. It’s worth assuming that the 2nd S-generation won’t come out until 2025 at the earliest.
It is also worth noting that there may be delays or changes in the company’s release schedule.
Will There Be a Bose S2 Pro Series?
The 2022 year was quite challenging for Bose, as same as for many other tech companies. The overall geopolitical instability situation and supply chain disruptions made crucial effects on the company’s financial state. All of these have declined in revenue putting Bose in a difficult position compared to its past results.

No matter what the company has faced, Bose, together with its President and COO Jim Scammon, will continue to develop. Read Jim’s full message here. At the moment, the company’s focus is on presenting new products, improving user experience, and providing even more effective sustainability strategies.
Having all these said, it’s confident to assume that a new series of portable Bluetooth speakers could be on the horizon, perhaps the Bose S2 Pro. The Bose S1 Pro, released in 2018, has not been upgraded for a few years. Bose may need to update this popular product line, so it can benefit their financial performance and regain market share.
The Price of Bose S2 Pro
Let’s take a look at the prices at the time the speakers hit the market. Then I’ll analyze how much the Bose S2 Pro model will cost.
- Bose S1 Pro – $599,95
- Bose S1 Pro Plus – $700
So, we’re seeing an increase in price, so my guess is that the next generation – Bose S2 Pro, given the passage of time, the advancement of technology and inflation, will have a cost of $700-750 dollars.
However, it is also possible that a brand may seek to maintain competitive prices in order to make the product attractive and accessible to a wide range of consumers. Until an official announcement is made, these price projections remain speculative.
