Potential Class Action

When the speakers connect, they’re great. But when they don’t, I spend too much time, much unsuccessful, trying to connect them. And it is a common issue. Getting help requires payment even though it is Sonos’s fault. Sonos seems to invest everything into speaker performance and no in the connection software. With all these problems, is there a class action?

I don’t get the logic. The fact that one person has lost a suit some years ago doesn’t automatically mean that all future actions will be lost, too. Would also be interesting to know for what reasons this person went to court. I doubt that he/she sued Sonos exactly for the same reasons.

In the end it’s up to a lawyer to decide whether a potential class action is likely to be successful.

If no lawyers have ever considered that a case against Sonos has any chance of winning, there’s the logic. Perhaps if the new app update had inadvertently turned off someone’s life support machine, there might be a case to answer.

I assure you that within the hundreds of calls for a class action suit, degraded performance and missing features on a new app were well represented. As to the one who did “succeed” (if a one man “class” is actually success), it was over the abandoning of the CR100 controller, something which had actual damages ($300 damages, but they were actual damages)..

But the bottom line is, stop threatening, stop speculating, go see a lawyer. Only they can tell you if the suit is viable (and even they aren’t always correct). Until then, all this faux outrage is just that, faux outrage, nothing but shouting at the clouds (and I will continue to call it out as such).

At this point Sonos is saying they will fix everything. (ha ha). It does seem unlikely a lawyer would take the case. But think of it this way, if you bought a tv for $1,000 that said it could get Netflix and that was the sole reason you bought it and then 6 months later you could only get Amazon prime shouldn't there be some recourse? We all know if enough people threaten a class action law suite it may be enough to pressure Sonos to fix there app.

There would be, under a consumer rights act within that specific country. But that would be based on being mis-sold something, where a core selling point and purpose has been permanently altered or removed.

The Sonos app is temporarily non-functioning in certain areas, with the company working to remedy this. Any court in the land would throw this out, given it has been just three weeks, and Sonos has shown on a weekly basis it is working to put this right. There is simply no case to answer.

They ARE fixing their app. The latest update was on Weds - it’s their fourth update in 16 days!

I was in a law suite once. Nice decor, elegant furniture, and the view was outstanding!

Yes they are, and the tremendous backlash from the Sonos community has put pressure on them to restore features they weren't going to restore, at least not in the near future.

I assume that you mean write? 🤔🤔

Good luck with that! A strong WiFi signal can still have issues, including duplicate IP addresses across your network, WiFi noise and other interference, blocking electrical appliances (e.g., microwave), some mesh networks use different subnets on satellite WiFi units, I could go on 🤔
