# Sonos To Launch Million Dollar Headphones in June
Sonos, renowned for its multiroom speakers, is gearing up to launch its first-ever headphones this June. With an anticipated price tag of $449, the company is preparing for a significant market entry, planning an initial production run of between 650,000 to 1 million units.
## A Brief Delay Due to Software Issues
However, the journey to market has not been without its hurdles. As reported by Bloomberg, software issues have delayed both production and the product launch. Specifically, challenges have emerged with the wireless over-ear headphones establishing connections to Wi-Fi networks, pushing the release date from May to June.
These new headphones are expected to give Sonos a major growth boost and diversify its product offerings further. This comes after the company expanded its portfolio with two portable speakers, the Sonos Roam and Sonos Move, both featuring integrated batteries and the ability to receive audio via both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
## A Long Time in the Making
Sonos has been developing its inaugural headphones for over four years, aiming to offer them in black and white color options. The headphones are designed to seamlessly integrate into the Sonos ecosystem, with capabilities to stream directly from compatible music services and even play TV sound.
Despite the buzz in the rumor mill for years, Sonos has yet to make an official statement regarding the headphone launch. Rumors also suggest that the headphones might be accompanied by an updated Sonos app, potentially rolling out as early as May.
Moreover, Sonos is reportedly working on a set-top box, although its release is now expected to be delayed until the fall of 2025.
### Product Note
To fans eagerly awaiting the Sonos headphones, another noteworthy mention is the Sonos Move 2, a fully revamped, powerful portable speaker designed to deliver immersive sound experiences wherever you go.

Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: Sonos is determined to keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of sound.
