Sonos Headphones to rival Apple AirPods Max
According to the people familiar with the plan, the over-ear-style headphones are called project "Duke." Sonos is considering selling it for between $400 and $500, making it a good rival for the $549 Airpods Max from Apple and other high-end audio devices from Sony and Bose.
The headphones will also come with Sonos Voice Control which features a voice assistant that is focused on music-related commands. There is also an opportunity for users to synchronize music across their Sonos products at home.
Last week, Sonos CEO Patrick Spence hinted at the company's venture for 2024. He called it a "new multibillion-dollar" product and is expected to generate revenue for the company by the second half of the year.
Sonos Expands to TV Streaming Device
Sonos' venture into headphones has already been rumored since 2019. However, Bloomberg reported that the company plans to release a TV streaming device by late 2024 or early 2025.
Under the codename "Pinewood," the set-top box is suspected to stream video on TVs and serve as a central hub for all the Sonos devices at home. It will have various similarities with existing top boxes with its operating system and user interface that will display various apps.
Last year, the company was seen posting job listings that cater to Home Theater OS. Moreover, it seems that voice control will be one of the main elements of the device and Sonos is already discussing with other entertainment providers to get support for the device.
Meanwhile, Sonos will continue to upgrade its existing line of speakers. In 2024, the company will release the second generation of Sonos Roam, which is said to match the topside controls of the Era speakers and Move 2.
