This page contains data entry 26991 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

Just an abstract observation I've had around Sonos for some time, being an owner of both Sonos gear since 2011 and getting an Electric Objects(EO) digital frame in 2018.

EO went under pretty quickly and my take was they were a niche product, steered more toward an 'Apple-type', and hoped to make it on subscriptions to digital art, but people only want to fart-sniff over the nothingness of modern art in public, not alone. I just wanted the frame to run my dog and kid video shorts, ascii dancing girl gifs, and a van Gogh or Monet now and then.

The gist is, they had a small target that saturated and the plans they had to grow, or even just stay alive, crashed.  Though the scale and lifespan are different, this is where I see Sonos today.

It first struck me when I heard they were going to make gear obsolete.  Some of the gear I had. They turned around quickly on this, but I looked past the bombast of the moment and saw a decision of desperation. You don't risk that tarnish unless the numbers say you have to, and you're banking on (hoping for) 'Apple-love' of your product for the faithful to roll over.

So here we are.  A saturated, niche market. Not niche because of wireless speakers but because of the cost.  Cost is the barrier, and it's significant.

With the headphones, here's a new product launch where they've apparently included the baby with the bathwater. The big picture of this roll-out only makes sense to me from a perspective of desperation. My guess is the newer speaker lines haven't caused much movement, and the headphones are the best of their bad ideas.  Anyone excited over more headphones?

Lastly, this app update almost appears to be an outsourced product. Either way, the talent pool does not look deep. If it was, they would have had a much more agile response to this fiasco, such as a rollback that was likely expected by most.

This was their best plan, and they're sticking to it because they have no choice. This is a Hail Mary. What's next?
