The Sonos website shows multiple job adverts related to a Home Theatre OS project, with plans to run apps and other experiences directly on the telly. The Protocol article goes on to say that Sonos has previously discussed partnering with TV manufacturers and equipping them with Sonos speakers. It has already done something similar in the motoring space with premium car company, Audi. However, whether these plans are related to the TV OS project is another discussion. As the project is currently in the development stage, details are incredibly sparse. We assume that there will be numerous Sonos apps on the OS, including its radio app, which offers both ad-supported and ad-free plans for users. There could also be incentives and deals with existing Sonos products, such as TVs and soundbars to encourage more customers to buy into the new TV OS. Of course, this is all speculation. Sonos is also rumoured to be working on its first-ever pair of wireless headphones and made headlines at the beginning of the year after winning a legal battle against tech giant, Google.
