Sonos Could Drop New Wireless Headphones Soon
Sonos had its first big hardware release since 2024 this year, launching a new Bluetooth speaker, the Play—but apparently the company’s not done cooking yet. Among them are light gray, black, “Agave,” “Blush,” and “Sand.” The company’s last pair of headphones, the Sonos Ace, were only available in white or black, much like the recently released Play Bluetooth speaker and the Era 100 SL. The Play may not be the only big release Sonos has planned for 2026. © Raymond Wong / Gizmodo More intriguing than new colors are hints at support for voice commands, which is something the first generation of headphones didn’t have.
