Sonos says it’s forced to raise prices while trying to win back customers

During what's supposed to be a year of redemption, Sonos has announced that its gadgets will become more expensive this year, complicating the company's comeback plans. Tariffs that US President Donald Trump announced last week take effect today, including a 19 percent tariff on goods imported from Malaysia (the levy is said not to apply to semiconductors and was cut down from a 25 percent tariff that Trump threatened in July.)

As a company, there are lots of things you can do when people are upset with your product.

One thing I would not recommend doing when times are tough, however, is raising prices, but Sonos seems to have been forced into this exact scenario. According to Sonos’ newish CEO, Tom Conra

If you’re in the business of selling audio gear with a Sonos logo on it, you may be feeling a little more heat than usual. And if you’re a person who owns a Sonos speaker, you may be equally as hot, though potentially not in a figurative sense. According to a report from Bloomberg, Sonos has admitted that a small number of customers who bought its Roam Bluetooth speakers have experienced overheating problems that caused the speaker to partially melt (specifically the USB-C port).
