While a headphone jack on some of the units might be nice, I'm not convinced any new product is necessary, because Sonos already has one called the Connect. You can easily plug headphones into this, and indeed I have a device plugged into a connect that sends any audio from Sonos directly to my hearing aids. You can set it up as a room of its own or group it with another. For example, we have a Sonos PlayBar, sub, and two Play:1s in our living room for 5.1 surround sound. When we're watching a movie, I send audio to a Sonos connect as well so I get the sound of the movie straight into my hearing aids. But it could easily be wireless or wired headphones plugged in there. Becoming a Sonos household has been the coolest tech we've adopted since iPhone. I love this stuff.
