Sonos Launches Rent-a-Speaker Pilot Program

Sonos' Flex program addresses one of the biggest barriers to consumers shopping in the connected market, noted Chris O'Dell, research analyst at Parks Associates, an Addison, Texas-based market research and consulting company specializing in consumer technology products.
