Since inventing wireless multi-room audio, we've continued innovating, creating wireless speakers, home theatre systems, headphones, architectural components, and whole home audio solutions that have defined categories, pushed the boundaries of what's possible, and delighted listeners all around the world.
The year was 2002. No one had heard of music streaming. Listening all around the home meant cranking the volume or setting up a complex stack of hardware and running cables through every wall.
By the beaches of Santa Barbara, California, four music-loving engineers recognised the potential of home networking and set out with a simple goal: make it easy to play any song in any room.
While Sonos has become synonymous with multi-room home audio, our patent portfolio boasts thousands of technologies that have forever changed how people listen.
