From the way Sonos has grown and improved over the last few years I can see them launching headphones soon.
Similar concept as the Roam in the way it can be docked (+charge) when not in use, It would group to a room as the Ikea SYMFONISK Sound remote does, when you pick it up from the dock it could auto mute the room (toggle option in the settings) - diverting audio to the headphones. Headphones should have Bluetooth like the Move and Roam for when out of the house.
Not something I will personally use but I can see a lot of elderly customers and people who have cinema setups using this.
Few thoughts on how it could work:
- Toggle option for auto muting (or not) the grouped room upon removal from the dock
- Option for a user to be able to listen to headphones whilst another user is still listening to the existing Sonos speakers, same audio coming out of all (good for a user who is hard of hearing)
- Headphone dock could have an audio input
- External charger as well as dock
- More in depth EQ settings
