The company’s core business centers on audio hardware products such as smart speakers, soundbars, amplifiers and subwoofers that can be interconnected to deliver multi-room music and home theater experiences. Sonos’ proprietary operating system enables users to stream digital media, adjust sound settings and integrate voice assistants from Amazon, Google or Apple. Its software platform supports popular streaming services, allowing customers to access music, podcasts and radios directly through the Sonos app.
Since its founding in 2002, Sonos has pursued innovation in home audio networking, introducing its first digital music system in 2005. Over the years, the company has expanded its product portfolio to include plug-and-play speakers, portable Bluetooth-enabled devices and high-performance soundbars designed for television and cinema-quality audio. Sonos also offers periodic software updates that enhance functionality, deliver new audio features and improve compatibility with third-party ecosystems.
Headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, Sonos maintains a global presence with sales operations and distribution channels across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The company’s products are sold through its own online store, specialty retailers, major electronics chains and authorized resellers. This multi-channel approach has helped Sonos reach both individual consumers and professional integrators in residential and commercial audio markets.
Leadership at Sonos includes Chief Executive Officer Patrick Spence, who has overseen the company’s expansion into new markets and product categories. Sonos was co-founded by John MacFarlane, an early advocate for networked audio solutions, and the current team continues to focus on design excellence, software innovation and strategic partnerships. The company remains committed to delivering high-quality sound experiences while fostering an open audio ecosystem for developers and content providers.
