Pretty sure that you can't stream Apple Music over Sonos either which would be a deal breaker for me if I was in the market. Obviously that changes if Apple buys them but that's still a big if and who knows when.one MEEN Ag said:I was researching speakers for my in-laws house that could be used for entertaining. Requirements were dead simple set up and interface, relatively portable, multiple speakers playing the same music at considerable range, operate from phone with good integration to pandora/spotify.Dale Earnhardts Stache said:
Citron had an article yesterday calling for $SONO to $30 in 2020. The basis was people spending so much more time at home. What are the board's thoughts on a medium to long term hold on $SONO?
There are also some AAPL acquisition rumors floating around.
Sonos was the only brand that checked all those boxes. A lot of competition for single speaker systems that did bluetooth, but very few competitors for mesh network of speakers.
Only problem was the system that would stop all their complaining about speakers would cost about $1000. They just bought a portable speaker on wheels and decided playing the same music was everywhere wasn't worth the cost.
So I think sonos is delivering a good 'it just works' product for something that is semi-complicated, but its price range is stupid high.
If apple buys them, it'll remain a premium luxury whole house set up. If Amazon buys them it'll be cheaper products that do the same thing.
Agree with you on the other points. Way overpriced in my opinion.
