Last year, his flagship app was defeated by the bootchid update, which caused his users to cry for blood, Sonos needed badly win for 2025.
Slight? A $ 400 streaming video player, if rumors were correct.
Too much every commentator, I also included myself, thought it was a destructive idea for a company Sonos, which made a name for himself with a high quality network speaker. But the company, which was stunned to react to a corrected app, which was at least initially quarreled with insects and missing key features – it looks like it has lost its way.
Well, it seems that the cooler heads have reported it, which has been reported that Sonos has canceled the Pinewood plans named Pinewood, Code, a long -standing development player.
Sonos is not saying anything on the record, but according to Verge, Sonos Execut announced during a company that he had nurtured his pinewood projects.
The move, which has come out two months after Sonos’s longtime CEO’s retirement, is likely to have no new product launch in the rest of 2025, or at least no one will add new product categories for this brand.
But Sonos’ decision also means that he will not be able to roam well with an expensive product, which he did with the Sonos SK headphone indifferently, which the company launched immediately after its app Fyesco.
Pinewood, if the leak is true, was to be another Baxi black streaming box, which is completed with an integrated HDMI switch that allows users to connect with game consoles, blue -ray players and other video sources.
The streaming box may also have worked with your current Sonos Speaker, which allows you to set a wireless home theater without a sound bar.
Although streaming player and its built -in HDMI switch may have helped to eliminate lips harmony problems that occasionally Beddel Home Theater Aficonados also raised the eyebrows with the price limit of their rumors: Between $ 200 and $ 400, it has already been more than $ 400.
Participating in this concern was the word that Sonos cooperated with a digital advertising firm, trading desk on pinewood, which causes anxiety that the streaming player interface can offer ads or track its customers’ viewing habits.
It seemed that Sonos seemed to be a strange step in a strange and saturated category with some excessive price tool, rather than that he started it instead of doubling it and soon dominated it: Medium -price multi -room audio.
There is never fun about such a face, but it’s better to march towards a mountain. Now Sonos may go back to the basics, and over time, he can withdraw the confidence of his users.
