New Era for Sonos: The Versatile Play Speaker Arrives

The Sonos Play is a great starting point into the brand’s ecosystem and can seamlessly integrate with existing Wi-Fi systems or be used as a portable Bluetooth speaker when away from home. Sonos has maintained its silence on new product releases since the Arc Ultra and Sub 4 updates last year, but the $299 Play marks a significant milestone in the company’s efforts to expand its user base. The Sonos Play boasts impressive features such as Auto Trueplay and AirPlay 2, allowing users to seamlessly connect their devices to the speaker. Its water-resistant design also ensures it can withstand various environments, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor use. With its compact size and versatile capabilities, the Sonos Play occupies a unique position in the brand’s portable speaker lineup. While smaller than the Roam 2, the Play boasts more than twice the battery life, offering users a reliable option for extended listening sessions on-the-go. As the first consumer product from Sonos in nearly 18 months, the Play promises to breathe new life into the brand and cater to a wider range of customers looking to explore its cutting-edge audio technology.
