Please create sonos ear buds

If you haven’t already started creating them, will you please create Sonos earbuds? I don’t like headphones and Bose is great and all, but I’d definitely purchase Sonos ear buds the day they are released. The sound quality is unmatched. Thanks.

    That would still (because it is a room, playing via Bluetooth) require an underlying change to the Sonos paradigm, by making the controller a ‘player’, rather than a window on what the ‘room’ is doing.

    I wasn't suggesting a controller, but a player device.

    No controls other than play/pause and volume buttons. 

    It would function as other Sonos Rooms, needing a controller as they do.

    Basically replacing the current amplifier and speakers with a Bluetooth transmitter.

    Think of the Port but simplified and the Bluetooth transmitter internal rather than plugged in.

    That is something I am considering for my Ace if I can find a deal on a Port. It would also work for ear buds come to think of it.

    There are so many issues, as soon as that ‘extra device’ leaves power and WiFi, as earbuds normally do, but sure.

    Ahh…isn’t that Pinewood-ish which has been shelved indefinitely. 🤔

    I know brain-storming what “if’s” can be exciting. However, if Sonos didn’t see fit to integrate room technology for the Ace due to the limitations I believe everyone knows…why would they skip to a form factor as small as ear buds to IMO attempt “alchemy” or something in the realm of Star Trek 🤔 No offense intended…but I just don’t see where this discussion is going.

    Frankly, integrating the the same tech as the Ace to communicate with a soundbar may not be doable. However if possible I’m on it as an early buyer. 😂

    Pinewood had a lot more features, designed to be a TV streamer.

      Possibly Sonos could create a portable (no speaker, just Bluetooth) Sonos Room device, maybe using the Play's internals (minus amp and speakers) as a starting point?

      That could serve audio to the Ace as well as ear buds without the need for large batteries on the phones/buds.

      To not impact other Sonos device sales it might need a proprietary Bluetooth connection. Sonos likely doesn't want to serve up a Bluetooth signal that would allow non-Sonos speakers to connect. 

       

      Sonos did make a purchase years back.

       

       

      I think that would be ideal for a case like this, however since it was not used on the Ace, I have my doubts that it would used now.  Perhaps it’s not good enough for an atmos signal. They could maybe do something where they se BLE for stereo signals, and wifi for atmos.  Totally guessing here.

      Agreed.  

      I do like the idea of earbuds that are bluetooth only, don’t connect to your Sonos system at all.  But that would be a big departure for Sonos, and the CEO has recently said that they want to focus on their core customers and products, so it would be a big surprise if they go that direction.
