Sonos today announced that Apple Music will be officially available on Sonos wireless speakers starting tomorrow after being in beta for the last couple of months. Sonos customers across the world will be able to stream Apple Music content and directly access all Apple Music features.
If that wasn’t enough, Sonos released the findings of a worldwide study that shows the transformative power of listening to music out loud at home. The Music Makes It Home Study found that listening to music out loud leads to stronger relationships, more intimacy, happier families and more quality time spent together. According to the study, people who listen to music out loud at home the most spend an additional three hours and 13 minutes per week together with their household members than those who listen out loud the least.
The Music Makes It Home Study was a two-part endeavour designed to better understand if playing music throughout a home can change the way we connect. In the first phase, Sonos asked 30,000 people across eight countries about music and their relationships at home. The second phase was a unique experiment to track what happens when people play music out loud in their homes.
The findings of the study include:
- Musical homes have more romance. People who say they listen to music out loud together the most have 67 per cent more sex, and almost a quarter of people would give up sex before music according to survey data.
- Our study shows that listening to music out loud can lead to more happiness. After music was introduced in the home, 43 per cent of participants reported feeling extremely loved, an 87 per cent increase from before there was music at home.
- Boring things can become more fun. In our survey, 83 percent believe doing chores is easier when listening to music.
- 50 per cent of respondents enjoy cooking more while listening to music. This was underlined in the experiment, where we could see an increase in the time spent together in the kitchen by 20 per cent.
Participant homes in the experiment ranged from roommates and married couples to multi-generational families, as well as couples living together for the first time. Using iPhones, Apple Watches, iBeacons and motion-activated cameras, a variety of data was collected, including daily video journals that provided insight into how music transformed the homes.
