Sonos is taking a pretty direct swing at that mindset with two new products: Sonos Play and the Era 100 SL. You’re getting speakers that are built for both home listening and getting out of the house. It’s a portable speaker, but it’s also meant to be a real Sonos speaker. Sonos is promising rich stereo sound with deep bass, wrapped in a design that’s ready for daily life. It’s IP67-rated for dust and water resistance, has drop resistance, and even includes a built-in utility loop so it’s easier to toss on a bag or carry around without feeling precious.
You’re getting:
- Sonos Play is the brand’s most versatile addition to the Sonos system, delivering rich stereo sound with deep bass designed for both home listening and on-the-go use. It features an IP67-rated dustproof and waterproof design with drop resistance and a built-in utility loop for everyday portability.
- Designed for flexibility, Sonos Play offers up to 24 hours of battery life, includes a charging base, and features built-in power bank capability so you can charge your phone while listening.
- Sonos Play automatically adapts to any environment with Automatic Trueplay™ tuning and supports seamless control through voice services, Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, and the Sonos app, bringing music, rooms, and devices together in one experience.
- Extend your Sonos system anywhere: connect Sonos Play to your phone via Bluetooth and press and hold the Play/Pause button on up to three additional Sonos Play or Move 2 speakers to sync them instantly, bringing the Sonos multi-room experience with you even when you’re away from Wi-Fi.
- Sonos Era 100 SL offers a simplified, mic-free entry into the Sonos ecosystem with streamlined controls and confident, room-filling sound, making it easy to start or expand a system over time with stereo pairing, additional rooms, or a full home theater setup.
As for pricing and release timing: Sonos Play is $299 and Sonos Era 100 SL is $189. Both are available for pre-order now at Sonos, with general availability starting March 31.
