Speaker maker Sonos Inc. is planning to expand beyond the home with high-end headphones, according to people familiar with the plans.
The wireless, over-the-ear headphones are still in the early development stages and could be launched by next year, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private plans. High-end pairs often cost $300 or more, and Sonos is expected to target a similar price range, the people added.
