According to a report from The Verge on Wednesday, Sonos is launching a voice assistant on June 1. The publication cited "people familiar with the company's plans" who claim the feature will bring voice control to Sonos' home audio products.

A Sonos rep told Ars Technica that the company doesn't comment on rumors or speculation when asked for comment.

Currently, Sonos' products, like Bluetooth speakers and soundbars, support Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Now, it's reportedly interested in equipping its products with its own voice assistant.
