  • Sonos's botched app rollout is a significant leadership failure, resulting in widespread customer dissatisfaction and technical issues that undermine its brand.
  • Over 100 employees were laid off, likely due to the mishandling of the app, reflecting poor leadership priorities and decisions.
  • Sonos now faces potential long-term damage to its customer loyalty and market confidence, with upcoming updates needing to address these issues urgently.

i just use 15 year old apple airports that you can find for dirt cheap used and they do airplay 2.0 perfectly, and i haven't had to restart them in several years. then plug them into whatever aux speaker you want.

I dont use iPhone but my mom does . Are you saying that AirPods can be used as a "receiver" and play music through Jack?

How do you go about that, are you charging them constantly? Is it the box or the ear thing that has the output?

sorry not airpods. check out apple airport express. they were wired to the wall and have an audio out jack. apple abandoned them a decade ago but they are rock solid.

Airport. Not Airpod. A lot of people don't remember them.
