Sonos Play review: A sweet spot portable speaker that I can’t stop firing up

Sonos’ new $299 Play is a portable speaker that lands between the Roam 2 and Move 2.

The review says it delivers solid sound, a replaceable battery, and rugged IP67 durability with power-bank support.

It also fills a midrange gap in Sonos’ lineup by pairing portability with practical everyday features.

However, the speaker still leans heavily on Wi‑Fi for many functions, with Bluetooth playing a more limited role.
