Sonos Smart Speaker

Sonos is a premier American developer and manufacturer of wireless home audio products, including smart speakers, soundbars, and subwoofers. Founded in 2002 by John MacFarlane, Tom Cullen, Trung Mai, and Craig Shelburne, the company pioneered the multi-room wireless audio category. The brand is headquartered in Santa Barbara, California, and maintains a significant global presence as a publicly traded company.

While the engineering and design are led from its California headquarters, manufacturing is primarily outsourced to facilities in China and Malaysia to manage global distribution. Sonos operates as an independent brand and is publicly listed on the NASDAQ, ensuring its status as its own ultimate owner. The company continues to evolve its ecosystem through high-end software integration and partnerships with popular streaming services.
