Sonos is teasing the launch of a new product. And it may be a pair of headphones.
The audio company on Monday said that it's planning to make a product announcement on Tuesday (May 21) at 9 a.m. ET. And while the company stopped short of saying what it has planned, the rumor mill has been hinting for months the company is working on its first-ever headphones.
Sonos has tried to keep the possibility of launching headphones out of the headlines, but some of its partners haven't cooperated. Just last week, singer Suki Waterhouse was caught filming a commercial while wearing white headphones with the Sonos branding on them. That came just days after a Sonos partner leaked images of the Sonos Ace headphones that come with a hefty $450 price tag.
Indeed, the headphone market is notoriously competitive. At the lower end and midrange of the market, customers find a host of outstanding headphones that sound great and don't break the bank. At the higher end of the market, Sonos will be met by serious competitors, including Apple and the Apple-owned Beats brand.
Luckily, we won't need to wait long to find out. If Sonos is indeed planning to launch new headphones on Tuesday, we're just hours away from their launch.
