Overview
- Preorders opened March 10 at Sonos and major retailers, with both speakers set to ship on March 31.
- The Play is a mid‑size portable that slots between the Roam 2 and Move 2, offering Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, a 24‑hour battery, IP67 durability, a wireless charging base, phone charging via USB‑C, and an optional $69 battery replacement kit.
- Away from home, users can group a Play over Bluetooth with up to three additional Play or Move 2 speakers, extending multi‑speaker listening without Wi‑Fi.
- When on Wi‑Fi with its mic enabled, the Play uses Automatic Trueplay to adapt sound; its audio hardware includes two angled tweeters, a midwoofer, and two force‑canceling passive radiators powered by three amplifiers.
- The Era 100 SL is a mic‑free version of the Era 100 priced at $189 that keeps the same acoustic architecture and serves as a lower‑cost entry into the Sonos ecosystem.
