For a company that built its reputation on quality, Sonos has entered an utterly unacceptable level of business conduct with its “app-ocalypse.”
Sonos's botched app rollout is a significant leadership failure, resulting in widespread customer dissatisfaction and technical issues that undermine its brand.
Over 100 employees were laid off, likely due to the mishandling of the app, reflecting poor leadership priorities and decisions.
Sonos now faces potential long-term damage to its customer loyalty and market confidence, with upcoming updates needing to address these issues urgently.
i just use 15 year old apple airports that you can find for dirt cheap used and they do airplay 2.0 perfectly, and i haven't had to restart them in several years. then plug them into whatever aux speaker you want.
sorry not airpods. check out apple airport express. they were wired to the wall and have an audio out jack. apple abandoned them a decade ago but they are rock solid.
