Killing them no but the business model of changing software and networking to make older products non functional is not very good imhoYeah. I doubt it would be easy for anyone taking on Sonos. For sure WiiM which are nowhere hardware speaker wise? Let alone the scaling pains for such a market. By the time any products are coming to market Sonos will have sorted out those app issues. Likely setting them up for next gen of hardware (not unreasonable pain/transition after being in the business for so many years with many active speakers of even first gen still functioning properly).
Personally the era100 look is a design mistake (probably functionally driven as it was designed to do surround sound/music better).
It should be decent sounding speakers, Sonos One design nailed it imo, WiiM full streaming/software functionality and undercutting the price by a bit as WiiM in the mass market is a unknown brand/beginner (so 150eur max?).
People here seem to think killing Sonos is an easy thing to do
If they allowed the older devices to work like they did with S1 then I don’t have a problem but any product with no BLE is now listed by them as non supported but that’s by the way
I won’t be buying anymore but some will that’s the beauty of the free market
