After a tumultuous 2024 and a CEO shakeup to start 2025, Sonos is rumored to be pushing beyond just high-end speakers (and mostly forgotten headphones) and exploring the streaming space. Rumors are abundant that Sonos— known this far for its ecosystem of wireless speakers and soundbars—may now be looking at streaming hardware as well, and in true Sonos fashion, it could cost upwards of $200.

Key Details

  • Sonos could be releasing a $200+ streaming box for home use
  • The hardware could act as an HDMI switch and open up new surround sound options
  • Sonos CEO Patrick Spence stepped down just a few weeks ago amidst these ongoing issues

Sonos, which has been around since the early 2000s, has been trucking along for years and catering to the tech crowd who want the ultimate in wireless home audio. Their assortment of speakers all work together in harmony to create a mesh of audio, including subwoofer options for surround sound, soundbars, and outdoor speakers. During the latter half of 2024, however, the company faced backlash as it tried to move too quickly, releasing new hardware and an updated app that broke older systems for many users. In January, former CEO Patrick Spence stepped down as interim CEO Tom Conrad looks to get things back on course.

The new streaming device—codenamed Pinewood—appears to be an Android-based device that would look to cater to high-end users, not those that are already locked in with the likes of Roku and Fire TV. The device would offer an experience much like Sonos’ music app currently, allowing you to aggregate your services (streaming in this case) in one place for easy access. The device will have integrated voice control as well as a physical remote.

Also rumored is the ability to use the device as an HDMI switch with passthrough, as well as the option to use more Sonos devices for a surround setup, including non-soundbar speakers for front channels. The box would look to maximize a lag-free connection between TV and audio devices, allowing users to dial in their specific options for the ultimate home theater experience.

There’s currently no timeline or release date for the streaming hardware. Still, you can rest assured Sonos will continue clearing the air and fixing their mobile app before attempting to get users to buy into even more new hardware.
