\nSonos is preparing to introduce its own voice assistant service within the next few weeks, according to people familiar with the company\u2019s plans. The voice functionality will let customers play and control music on Sonos\u2019 whole-home audio platform. <\/p>\n
It will be part of a forthcoming software update set to arrive first to customers in the US on June 1st, with an international rollout to follow. Sonos Voice will serve as an alternative to Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, which Sonos already supports on its smart speakers and voice-enabled soundbars. All Sonos products that run the company\u2019s S2 software will support Sonos Voice Control.<\/p>\n

Sonos has recently posted job openings related to the \u201cSonos Voice Experience<\/a>,\u201d with the company saying its ambition is to \u201cmake voice interactions fully private, more personal, and more natural.\u201d The debut of Sonos Voice will mark a pivotal moment in Sonos\u2019 expansion into services as the company seeks to augment its hardware business. (Sonos Radio and the paid, higher quality Sonos Radio HD<\/a> were the first such forays into services.) The offering will provide core conveniences that are similar to existing competitors, allowing Sonos product owners to play specific songs, artists, or playlists with voice commands, among other functions.<\/p>\n
\nSonos Voice won\u2019t support Spotify at launch<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nAt launch, Sonos Voice will work with Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Deezer, and the company\u2019s own Sonos Radio. Spotify and Google\u2019s YouTube Music aren\u2019t yet on board. In keeping with Sonos\u2019 interest in privacy, the feature will not record user audio commands or relay them to the cloud for processing. \u201cHey Sonos\u201d will be the wake word for Sonos Voice Control, and the company\u2019s internal tests show it to be quicker than competing assistant services at core music tasks.  <\/p>\nSonos declined to comment for this story, citing its policy of not commenting on rumors or speculation. But through various job listings for the voice product and an as-yet-unannounced \u201cHome Theater OS<\/a>,\u201d the company has offered a glimpse at a future where it will put a much greater emphasis on software and try to establish itself as a central hub for streaming entertainment \u2014 potentially moving beyond audio to incorporate video as well. Patrick Spence, Sonos\u2019 chief executive officer, has hinted at those objectives in interviews. \u201cYou\u2019re always investing ahead of the curve,\u201d he said on the Decoder<\/em> podcast<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re hiring people in software to go into new areas that we\u2019re not in today. It\u2019s easier in hindsight to understand that a company has been working on all of these great things. We just didn\u2019t see it at that moment in time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Voice services have been a point of contention in Sonos\u2019 rift with large tech companies including Google and Amazon. Two years ago, Spence told US lawmakers<\/a> that Google refused to allow its Assistant service to operate simultaneously with Amazon\u2019s competing product on the same device. Amazon wasn\u2019t as restrictive, Spence has said. Sonos, Google, and Amazon continue to work together as partners despite Sonos publicly accusing both of unfair pricing tactics<\/a> and patent infringement<\/a>; it successfully sued Google over the latter, forcing minor changes<\/a> to multi-room audio playback and volume controls in some Google software. <\/p>\n
Sonos\u2019 development of its own voice feature hasn\u2019t exactly been a well-kept secret. The company has signaled its interest with customer surveys, and, last year, early details about the service were discovered in the Sonos mobile app (as noted here by Protocol<\/em><\/a>). At the time, screenshots indicated that it would be possible to use the Sonos voice service alongside Alexa, with customers able to use either one by saying the respective wake word. But the images showed that Google Assistant and Sonos\u2019 voice offering cannot be paired in the same way \u2014 another sign of Google\u2019s tight control over how and where its services can be used. Blogger Carsten Knobloch recently published some additional screenshots of Sonos Voice<\/a>, but its launch date and supported services have not been previously reported.<\/p>\n
The Sonos Voice Experience will stick to the fundamentals at launch. But if people are able to use Alexa at the same time \u2014 Sonos calls this feature \u201cvoice concurrency\u201d \u2014 they\u2019ll be able to give the Sonos offering a shot without sacrificing smart home integrations or other more varied features that the Sonos voice service may lack. <\/p>\n
Sonos\u2019 stated goal of making voice \u201cfully private\u201d could be another key way of differentiating itself from Alexa and Google Assistant, both of which heavily rely on cloud computing. Amazon says Alexa is designed with \u201cmultiple layers of privacy and security,\u201d and Google offers similar assurances. But some consumers remain inherently wary of voice technologies and Big Tech using voice interactions for advertising purposes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Last month, The Verge<\/em> reported that the next new hardware product coming from Sonos is a budget soundbar to be priced around $250. That device, the Sonos Ray<\/a>, will also be announced in the coming weeks. Unlike the company\u2019s more expensive Arc and Beam soundbars, however, it will not have integrated mics for voice controls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
