Leak Details
It looks like Apple isn’t the only company with new products launching soon. A new Sonos Play portable Bluetooth and AirPlay 2 speaker has shown up online before actually being announced.
The Verge says the unannounced “slightly shrunk‑down version of the Move 2 with a loop on the back for toting” was seen on Best Buy’s website. A Reddit post shows screenshots of the deleted product page as well.
The product listing, which was seen on the retailer’s online store in Canada, had a $399.99 CAD price tag.
Pricing and Specs
Other specs in the now‑deleted listing include:
- 24‑hour battery life
- IP67 water resistance
- AUX input
- USB‑C power delivery
- Wireless charging base
The page also mentioned a March 31 release date for the unannounced portable speaker.
Existing Sonos Portable Speakers
Sonos currently sells two portable speakers:
- Sonos Roam 2 – $179 USD / $229 CAD
- Sonos Move 2 – $499 USD / $649 CAD
This leaves room for a Sonos speaker priced around $300 USD in the lineup.
Apple Comparison
While Apple doesn’t have a portable AirPlay 2 speaker, it does make a portable Bluetooth speaker with the USB‑C Beats Pill priced at $129 or less.
Sonos customers can also look forward to upcoming lock‑screen playback controls on iPhone later this year.
