What this transaction means for investors

On Jan. 27, 2026, Sonos revealed one of its new flagship audio devices, the Sonos Amp Multi, a multi-channel streaming amplifier that’s expected to be released in the next few months. The device is essentially an audio hub that lets users connect up to 24 speakers in a space and play music independently in each room of a home, or play them all together simultaneously.

Users can use the Sonos app to navigate to which area of a home where they want to stream music. It’s more catered to people with large homes and office spaces, making it somewhat of a niche product. And with its standard Sonos Amp already costing $799, the Multi Amp is expected to be priced well over $1,000, making it a tougher sell for the everyday consumer. However, the company has dedicated a lot of resources to this product, as it’s the first hardware product since the Sonos Arc, a wireless soundbar, in late 2024.

The company took a break from releasing new hardware to focus on fixing its app after it faced overwhelming backlash when it made significant changes in 2024 that were met with strong disapproval by app users.
