Sonos is known for some of the best speakers in the market, and you can now snag its latest, the Sonos Play, for a discounted price of $270 at Best Buy. That’s $29 less than its usual $299 and just $1 more than the lowest it has ever been.
At Amazon, it’s available at its listed price of $299. So, we suggest acting fast and grabbing the deal at Best Buy, as such discounts are usually short-lived.
Sonos Play was reviewed by CNET expert David Carnoy, who gave it an impressive 8.3 out of 10. For him, Sonos Play sits between “Sonos’s larger Move 2 and the smaller Roam 2” and is “the Goldilocks of Sonos portable speaker options.” This speaker with Wi-Fi has also earned a CNET Editors’ Choice award.
If you’re like me, you aren’t a fan of bulky speakers. But you’ll love how, despite its compact size at just under 8 inches, the Sonos Play gives you an impressive room-filling sound and deep bass. Keep it on the kitchen countertop or take it with you for trekking — its portable design fits in just about anywhere. You can carry it conveniently with its attached loop. Plus, it gives you up to 24 hours of playback, so you don’t have to worry about carrying a charger everywhere. And, it has a top-tier build quality to protect it from drops. Plus, it’s waterproof, dust-proof and drop-resistant.
Another feature that impressed Carnoy was that “it not only works in a Sonos multi-room Wi-Fi home setup but also easily switches to Bluetooth mode for on the go use.” He also adds that “While Sonos’ newer speakers don’t support Google Assistant, you can set them up to control playback with Amazon Alexa or Sonos Voice Control.”
