Why Sonos Prefers Wi-Fi Over Bluetooth For Seamless Audio

Why Doesn’t Sonos Support Bluetooth?

Many Sonos users wonder why their portable Sonos devices don’t offer Bluetooth connectivity. The reason for this limitation is that your portable Sonos product is not accessible for Bluetooth connections when it’s either in sleep mode or powered off. If you find that your portable device’s status light is off, you can activate it by pressing the power button. Alternatively, if it has run out of battery, you can connect it to a power source to turn it back on. This means that in order to use Bluetooth with your Sonos device, you need to ensure it is awake and powered on, as it won’t respond to Bluetooth when in a dormant state.

Will Sonos eventually introduce Bluetooth support for its products? It’s an important question that many Sonos users have been asking. To clarify this topic, it’s worth noting that some Sonos devices have the capability to maintain their connection to your WiFi network even when operating in Bluetooth mode. This unique feature allows them to seamlessly share their Bluetooth audio with other Sonos products when you group them together. As of now, the Era 100 is one of the Sonos products that can participate in this Bluetooth audio sharing functionality. However, it’s important to stay updated with Sonos’ announcements and developments, as the company may expand this feature to more of their products in the future.
