Summary

  • Sonos has abandoned its plan to launch a video streaming device, which was in the final stages of development and had already spent time in beta testing.
  • The product, known as Pinewood, will not now proceed to market and the team working on it will be reassigned.
  • Sonos CEO Tom Conrad confirmed the turnaround in the company’s roadmap during an all-hands call and said the firm would not be moving into the video space “for now”.
  • The decision leaves Sonos without a major product launch scheduled for H2 2025, following the recent release of its Arc Ultra soundbar and Sub 4 units at the end of 2024.
  • The company is now focusing on restoring the performance and reputation of its software, following a difficult few months for the brand.
