Its latestSonos Era 300andEra 100speakers are excellent smart home audio companions, with some serious smarts and class-leading audio.

The question then becomes what would happen to Sonos.

Or, could we see Sonos absorbed into the Apple branding?

What’s in it for Sonos?

There are some extra bonuses on the table for Sonos itself.

Is it likely to happen?

Mark Gurman thinks that the buyout is actually unlikely to happen, and I would agree.

Which company would want what Sonos has?

There are rumors of a Sonos set-top box, like the Apple TV 4K, which could be interesting.

I hope Sonos stays independent and Mark Gurman seems to think that’s what Sonos wants as well.
