Sonos' new Play portable speaker is like a shrunken Move 2, but it's priced the same as the Apple HomePod 2

Sonos has announced a new portable wireless speaker. The Sonos Play sits between the Roam 2 and Move 2, and is the same price as the Apple HomePod 2. But its portability is a major selling point – it even has a removable utility loop on the back to make it easy to carry.

The Play packs 24 hours of battery life, and is rated IP67 for protection against dust and full immersion in water. It also has a built-in power bank to charge your phone on the go, much like the five-star JBL Charge 6.
