Hi Marie,
Yes, sadly Sonos at this point is all about listening out loud and all I can say is to call Sonos or submit feedback via their website to let them know they really need to look at designing a stand-alone headset which would act as a separate Sonos Player. I’ve been waiting fore this for at least the last 2 or 3 years and each year I hope they’ll announce such a product. Of course there are many situations where one would want to listen privately with a headset and considering how much of a focus there has been on headsets in the last few years I don’t get it how Sonos isn’t jumping on that bandwagon. I think there could be either one of two products or both: one would be high-quality stand-alone audio file quality headphones but of course such a product would be very pricy considering one can easily spend $500 to $1,000 or even more on true audio file quality wired headphones. I think a product around $500 to $700 US from Sonos would be the right price point and one where they could really make it sound awesome. The other product which I think should be a companion to the headphones would be a small iPhone-size or slightly thicker headphone amp with rechargeable battery, a quarter inch headphone jack and belt clip. This would be the product that connects to the Sonos system and acts as a separate player and it would allow users to plug in any headset or headphones they have from a cheap $20 pair of earbuds to a pair of Sennheiser HD800S for $1,699 which is probably about as good as it gets. A product like this should maybe cost $250 to $400 or $500 at most if they put in really good components and if Sonos were to make only one product I hope it would be this one as it offers a lot more flexibility with headsets users already own.

I was under the impressions that it did have a headphone jack but wonder if it was removed in the newer model. This is a real turn off for me. I guess I should have bought one earlier.
