New Sonos Play Portable Speaker With AirPlay 2 Leaks on Best Buy

Say hello to the Sonos Play – a new unannounced portable speaker that appears to have been accidentally leaked on the Canadian Best Buy site.

Priced at CAD $399.99, the speaker looks a lot like a smaller version of the Sonos Move 2, and features Wi-Fi for multi-room setups of up to 32 speakers, AirPlay 2 support, and Bluetooth 5.3. There's also an aux-in for connecting record players and other equipment. Courtesy of the Redditor who spotted the listing, here's the blurb:

Take quality sound wherever you go with the Sonos Play Bluetooth wireless speaker. Its compact design fits easily in your hand, while automatic Trueplay tuning optimizes audio for any environment. Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth let you stream high‑quality audio from different devices and sources. Up to 24 hours of battery life avoids the need for frequent recharging.

The speaker listing has since been pulled from the Best Buy site, but it shouldn't be long before it's officially announced, given the release date was stated as March 31, 2026.

Sonos is back to profit though so I guess that sales are OK even at Sonos prices - not that this product has launched yet but Sonos Move 2 for instance is $649 (Canadian).

There were rumours a few years ago that Apple was looking to buy Sonos. Obviously nothing came of that, or the rumours were totally false, but I do sometimes wonder whether that was a lost opportunity for Apple and whether Apple is right to seemingly be so scared of going any higher-end than it already has in terms of audio quality.

A Sonos acquisition could have been a great way to buy in the expertise to build-out Apple's audio offerings with Soundbars, true surround sound, subwoofers, higher-end HomePods and probably add a lot of extra audio expertise into the teams working on successors for the existing products.

$400 for just another noisy boomy wireless speaker, really ? 🥱

I stopped all this and "invested" in real (and very affordable) "audiophile" equipment. And I rediscovered music 😍, after years of noise.
None of the Sonos speakers are noisy or boomy. There is no reason to think this one will be either. They aren't just "wireless" speakers either. I always chuckle when I read comments like yours because it's clear you have no idea whats inside that "just another wireless speaker" or how the Sonos system works.
