    Sonos Responds To Criticisms Over New App

    In this episode of Double Tap, hosts Steven Scott and Shaun Preece discuss a new video showing off the features of Open AI's Chat GPT 4o model, but why is Shaun so unimpressed?

    Also, we talk about podcasts out there offering tips for iPhone users, following a question from listener Ronnie.

    Our main story today however focuses on Sonos and the changes it made recently to its app, leaving many people who are blind unable to use their devices. We hear from listeners Nicki Keck and Elliot Stonhill who share their experiences, and we bring you a response directly from Sonos explaining what went wrong, and what they say they will do to ensure this never happens again.

    Bluetooth Speakers, Multi-Room Audio & Smart Wireless Headphones

    Bluetooth Speakers, Multi-Room Audio & Smart Wireless Headphones

    In this episode, Steven and Shaun get all nostalgic about their love of audio and long for the days of physical media rather than digital downloads.

    However, they don’t stay nostalgic for long as they dive into the crazy world of Bluetooth speakers, multiroom systems and smart wireless headphones.

    Steven talks about the new Bose Soundlink speakers and also shares that he is due to review a pair of the new Sonos Ace headphones, which he admits should be interesting considering the recent developments at the company which led to an inaccessible app being born affecting many blind people - more on that to come on the next Double Tap.
