I know I’m just an undereducated consumer, but rough month for Sonos as far as my purchase plans went.
I went out mid-May to get a soundbar and headphones. As hard as it is, I sucked up my impulsive purchase drive because reportedly there was a big sale (25%) coming plus the new headphones had leaked and were going to be WiFi.
June comes. Headphones aren’t WiFi. Seeing privacy stories about Sonos.
So I let the 25% deal go by and still haven’t bought anything.
This is my take also: if I ever spend money on good audio, I’ll be stuck spending lots of audio for the rest of my life. I’d rather live in the dark and by cheap second hand stuff that’s probably not great than never enjoy music again without spending thousands.

I wanted a sound bar, and got some affordable ones.
Then I went into budget audiophile.
Got a cheap Sony receiver and 2 bookshelf speakers. Got the whole gig for $175 total. Beats any kind of sound bar.
Did a Sonos test in store and really could hear much difference despite being much cheaper and completely offline.
Now my wife is telling me to go Sonos because it looks better with her aesthetics.
Told her I’m not getting anything that requires an account software to run. Guess we’re going to stick with bookshelves for a while
