Electronics and AI: Sonos is planning an AI offensive - New soundbar and headphones
Sonos was a visionary pioneer in connected home music two decades ago. But competitors have long since been active in this market - and the company now wants to stand out with new AI functions.
Sonos plans to integrate its technology with AI programs like ChatGPT and Claude, allowing users to control music playback with voice commands. The company will also introduce its own AI assistant for music control, built on external chatbot software. Additionally, Sonos is releasing a new operating system, Sonos 27, which includes features like device position recognition and seamless music transfer between Sonos speakers and Ace headphones.
The company is also updating its Beam soundbar and Ace headphones, with the new Beam Ultra model supporting Dolby Atmos and the Ace Ultra headphones featuring improved noise cancellation.
