Sonos

Sonos’ Patrick Spence said on Reddit this week that the company wouldn’t be able to bring back the old app, and today, he made a series of posts on Threads about the company’s efforts and what it has learned.

“In hindsight, one thing that is clear is that we shouldn’t have introduced such a big change so quickly,” he said.

Can’t think of the last time I opened an app to an apology for how buggy the app is!

In a live Q&A video, Sonos’ Adib Mehrabi and Cameron MacLeod offered a more specific timeframe for when the Ace’s signature feature will expand to the company’s other soundbars. Sonos is targeting late summer / early fall.

That’s also when Android users will be able to set up TV Audio Swap in the first place.

iFixit has completed its teardown of the Sonos Ace headphones, and it’s always interesting to see how a company’s first product in a new category differs from what’s come before.

The battery seems easy enough to swap for a new one. However, Sonos has warned there’s “a pretty important acoustic seal” that you risk damaging if you get it wrong.

The company is sending emails out that say its “most requested product” is coming on May 21st. Could the release be its rumored Sonos Ace wireless headphones?
