Sonos leans into the leaks and teases upcoming products.

Sonos’ long-rumored wireless headphones will finally see the light of day in 2024, and the company has a loaded product pipeline in development beyond that.

Today, Sonos posted a video to its social media channels and wrote “there’s a lot of noise about the next Sonos launch.” It also launched this website where customers can “hear from the source” about new hardware. (The video used in the clip already appeared in a prior teaser for the Sub Mini, so I wouldn’t read into that much.)

Leaked Sonos email discloses headphones team, job cuts.

The internal email from Chief Product Officer Maxime Bouvat-Merlin did not specify how many jobs will be lost. Per Bloomberg, the cuts will happen today, and are the result of “a shift in product strategy.” The email also disclosed that a team is dedicated to headphones inside Sonos, which might be behind the “major product in a new multibillion-dollar category” mentioned in yesterday’s earnings call.

Sonos Move 2 review: a slam-dunk sequel

9

Verge Score

With stereo sound, twice the battery life, and line-in playback, the Move 2 improves upon the original at every turn — unless you need Google Assistant.

Sonos must be so annoyed.

The service agnostic company was first to market with a speaker featuring both Alexa and Google Assistant, but JBL is first to allow simultaneous use of the two most popular voice assistants. Sonos previously said it was Google’s fault for blocking “concurrency” — a feature Sonos had been working on since at least 2017 — presumably out of spite for losing that lawsuit. We’ve reached out to Sonos for a reaction and will hopefully have something to publish soon.

Alexa and Google Assistant play together nicely, but not perfectly, on JBL’s new speakers

Google and Sonos will square off in a federal trial starting Monday.

The long-running patent dispute between Sonos and Google is headed to the courtroom on Monday. The whole-home audio brand is insistent that Google copied its smart speaker technology. Sonos has already picked up a win at the ITC, but next week the federal trial kicks off.

US District Judge William Alsup is openly frustrated that these two companies have been unable to work something out and just settle already.

“By the end, our parties’ legal bills will likely have been able to build dozens of schools, pay all the teachers, and provide hot lunches to the children,” he wrote in a previous filing.

Sonos Era 300 review: too ahead of its time

When you find a good spatial audio song, Sonos’ new speaker can blow your mind and sounds like nothing else. But it trails the Sonos Five at stereo playback and suffers from the wildly inconsistent state of Atmos mixes.

Sonos Era 100 review: the new default smart speaker

The more affordable Era speaker improves upon the Sonos One by nearly every measure and will likely find the same success and popularity among Sonos customers.
