Sonos just replaced their CEO after a series of product debacles that had their users up in arms. Over the summer I looked into buying Sonos and even previously happy users were saying, "Stay away, stay far away, either look into alternatives or wait and see if they're going to sort this out."
I decided to wait and see, and months later I heard that they're replacing their CEO: promising! But then their CEO said this in his first letter to employees, and I lost all hope:
> what really gets me up in the morning is the idea that we can expand the Sonos platform well beyond “out loud audio at home.”
Seems like adios to Sonos as a good product, and I guess I have to look at those alternatives now.
