Sonos is best known for its speakers, but the company is now hinting it’ll soon expand into the wireless headphones market.
The company today dropped a teaser video on Facebook, which simply says: "Coming soon. Our most requested product ever." Sonos is also sending emails about announcing a mysterious new product on May 21 at 6 a.m. PST.
Sonos has long been rumored to be working on a pair of headphones, which could drive much-needed revenue growth. Earlier this month, an authorized parts dealer for Sonos accidentally leaked images of the over-the-ear headphones with a premium price tag of $450, putting the product in direct competition with the Apple AirPods Max.
The rumored "Sonos Ace" headphones may have also been spotted in public last week when singer Suki Waterhouse was caught filming a commercial while wearing a pair of mysterious Sonos headphones.
If the $450 price tag is real, consumers should expect a pair of cutting-edge headphones. Previous leaks claim the product will feature high-fidelity audio, a lightweight design, active noise cancellation, up to 30 hours of battery life, and the ability to pair with multiple Bluetooth devices.
Rumors also suggested the Ace will launch on June 5, but it looks like we may get them earlier.
