Sonos

Sonos makes sound systems that connect wirelessly throughout a home. These products help people listen to music and movies. One simple app controls all sound in the home.

• Partner products: Architectural speakers and accessories sold through partnerships or licensing; makes up 3.9% of revenue.

Shifting the Strategy

• Restored software reliability to historical levels following updates to the mobile application during 2025.

• Reduced the total workforce by 12% in February 2025 as part of an organizational restructuring plan.
• Continued legal disputes with Alphabet and Google regarding patent infringement for smart speaker technologies.

Why Sonos Stands Out

The company serves more than 17 million households across 60 countries. Its proprietary platform allows different speakers to play the same audio simultaneously over a wireless network.
