It’s been trying to sneak into the headphone market since 2019 and has created a number of product iterations along the way. However, none of those ever saw the light of day, making this release a big deal. AdvertisementThere’s not a lot of stuff we know about Sonos’ first-ever headphones yet. We know they’ll feature an over-ear design, compete against the AirPods Max, cost between $400 to $500, offer black and white color variants, sync with Sonos equipment, and offer voice control for navigating between songs. The company will also release an app allowing users to control the headphones from their smartphones.

We’ll have to wait to find out what exactly that means.
