Sonos had a very strange day on the 5th February. There was the leaked news about the new Pinewood streaming box, with price details and intentions that paint a picture of a very expensive Apple TV 4K rival. And then, once the dust had just about settled around the new TV add-on, Sonos itself made the news again by laying off 200 staff.
It perfectly encapsulates the issues that Sonos has been facing over the last couple of years, condensing everything down into a short 24 hour period. The heady heights of exciting new hardware, to financial issues that force the company's hand in laying off hundreds of talented staff.
