Sonos enters the headphone business - probably

Leaks suggest that audio manufacturer Sonos is launching its first headphones on the market. It is an Overear model in the upper price range.
So far, Sonos has mainly been known for its multiroom systems. In recent years, the American audio specialist has also developed Bluetooth speakers and now headphones are set to follow. There have been rumours about this for some time. Back in November 2023, Sonos CEO Patrick Spence announced the company's "entry into a new multi-billion dollar business", but did not specify what exactly this meant.
The online magazine "The Verge" now reports on a leak from Dutch electronics retailer Schuurman. A pair of headphones called the Sonos Ace was temporarily listed there. The price was just over 400 euros. Schuurman has since removed the product from its shop.
No details about the headphones are yet known. Except that there will be ear pad replacement parts, as these were also on display in the shop. The author of "The Verge" believes he can recognise a "premium build" in the pixelated screenshot - we prefer to wait with such judgements until we hold the product in our own hands. <p
