Sonos Play speaker offers desk and kitchen versatility

The new Sonos Play speaker is designed for versatile use, functioning effectively as both a desk and portable home audio device. Its hybrid design allows for easy transport around the house, offering situational awareness superior to headphones and convenient physical controls. While the speaker delivers balanced sound and includes useful features like phone charging and automatic room calibration, some minor app-related glitches and a narrow soundstage are noted. Despite these points, it presents a compelling option for users seeking a flexible speaker for various environments.
