WIRED • • technology
Key Points:
- Sonos Play is designed as part of an interconnected ecosystem, and initial network connection issues were resolved after a firmware update, making it a highly reliable speaker now.
- The Play combines Bluetooth and Wi-Fi streaming, offering more portability than the Sonos Move and fuller sound than the Roam, making it a versatile option for both home and on-the-go use.
- It features a compact, durable design with IP67 dust and water resistance, a 24-hour battery life, and supports stereo pairing and multi-speaker grouping via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
- The speaker delivers impressive sound quality with clear treble, midrange, and strong bass, rivaling the Sonos Era 100 and outperforming many similarly sized portable speakers.
- Sonos emphasizes sustainability with packaging and omitting a wall adapter, though users need to provide their own charger meeting specific power requirements.
