I’m really interested in getting myself a pair of Sonos Ace headphones for use with my TV at night so not to disturb the rest of the family. What appeals to me is tying out the TV Audio Swap feature to get some surround effects but I don’t own any of the supporting soundbars (Yet). 

So, here's what I’m think would be a great new Sonos product idea to add to the Ace Headphones. A new TV Audio Swap box like an Amp/Port that emulates the decoding of the surround like a soundbar would (Ie Beam Gen2) and sends it to the headphones but without the speakers.

What do you think?

Sonos seems to have new hardware on hold while dealing with other issues.

It’s an interesting idea, certainly. I’d be interested in having a better idea how many they think they could sell, and at what price point, before I’d want Sonos to commit to it, though. Unfortunately, not every good idea is profitable, as it may be a perfect solution to a very small number of people.

Sure, its a different type of hardware, focused on adding surround effects solely to the Ace headphones from a TV without the need for a bulky soundbar to support it when you already have a separate dedicated surround sound system. So obviously a more niche product, as for how many Sonos could sell and for what price, who knows, that the million dollar question, is it a viable consumer product. Its obviously going to have to be cheaper than a Beam Gen2 for example and maybe a little more than the Ray if it decodes Atmos effects, lets say around £250-£300? I’d be interested at that price point and it could also add to Ace sales as well.
