From Sonos Blog:

Sonos Play doesn’t just sound good. It pushes the limits of what a portable speaker this size can deliver, thanks to an acoustic architecture similar to that of its larger sibling, Move 2. This innovative design is capable of generating deep, room-filling bass — on par with what you might expect from a home stereo system.

I have a Sonos Roam 2 and it’s a great portable speaker, although a bit underpowered in some environments. This seems like a great middle ground for folks who don’t want to lug a beast of a speaker out on a camping trip or to the beach but still might want a little more ooomph. Looks impressive, and I’m considering buying one.

I love all the little details that show Sonos is listening to their customers – replaceable battery, actual buttons, USB-C cable that can be used for charging, reverse charging or even as audio output. Is it beach-capable, though? I’ve been hanging onto a “cheap” JBL Charge 3 for the better part of a decade now.
