Sonos CEO Patrick Spence postpones two new products to fix App issues

TapTechNews August 10th news, Sonos' chief executive officer, Patrick Spence, attended the fiscal third-quarter earnings call and indicated the postponement of the release of two new products to fully fix App issues.

TapTechNews translated part of what Spence said in the meeting as follows: Our focus and top priority is the App experience. We will postpone the release of two major new products originally planned for the fourth quarter until our application experience reaches the quality level that we, our customers, and our partners expect of Sonos.

We will not slow down the update pace until we solve the App application problems and regain high user satisfaction again.

Spence previously released an apologetic blog post, pledging to accelerate the improvement of the new Sonos application in 2024. Spence stated that the current top priority of Sonos is to fix the bugs in the new Sonos application and improve the user experience.

The tech media TheVerge believes that among the two products postponed for release, one should include a new soundbar product with the code name Lasso, which uses completely redesigned components and speaker drivers and will have better performance in aspects such as bass.
