Sonos has reintroduced the Flex speaker subscription, allowing customers to use Sonos speakers again for a fixed monthly price. The cheapest subscription became €5 more expensive per month and additional products were added to the subscription.
Just like the pilot Sonos launched in the fall of 2019, Flex is a service which is currently only available in the Netherlands. The service previously consisted of three subscriptions, one of which remains. This is now called the basic two-room subscription and costs five euros more per month than before. The subscription also includes new products like the Era 100 speakers, which the company announced in March.
Flex per month can be canceled after three months, after four months customers can modify the subscription once a year to add another speaker, for example. In addition, the service includes a Sonos Radio HD subscription with ad-free music and lossless audio. Subscribers will receive a new speaker in case it is accidentally broken.
Users can get refurbished products, which Sonos says they’re testing extensively. Sonos says it wants to bring subscription to more markets, but doesn’t provide details on that matter. The company confirms that it is still the owner of the headphones. So it is not an installment purchase.
