Sonos’ long-awaited headphones may finally be here! While the company remains tight-lipped, leaked images and information from Dutch retailer Schuurman spill the beans. Here’s what we know (or think we know):
- Official Name: It looks like the wireless headphones will be named “Sonos Ace.”
- Design: Leaked images reveal a classic over-ear headphone design with buttons and a toggle switch on the earcups.Image quality is poor, so no word on the build quality yet.
- Price: The listing shows a price of €403.58 (~$435), aligning with previous Bloomberg reports.
- Release Date: Originally aiming for May, a software issue reportedly pushed the launch to June according to Bloomberg.
- Features: Sonos CEO Patrick Spence hopes the Ace headphones will revive the company’s growth. Expect seamless integration with existing Sonos products, direct streaming from TVs and music services via Wi-Fi. Bloomberg also hints at a potential in-ear model to rival AirPods down the line.
Is it Real? While leaks can be unreliable, Schuurman is an authorized Sonos dealer. This adds some credibility but always take early information with a grain of salt.
The Bottom Line: Sonos fans, get excited! While official confirmation is needed, all signs point to the Ace headphones finally becoming a reality. Stay tuned for updates and a potential June launch.
