Hey,

Is there someone who found any floor stand for Sonos Play?

I found only one product from the Dutch brand „Vebos“. Seems they only offer that product within the EU at the moment. If you switch language e. g. to US or UK you can’t find the product.

I think now that Sonos Play and Move2 can be used as surrounds a floor stand for these speakers could become more interesting as before.
There’s a stand from Vebos on its way to me. I‘m curious how practical this solution is.
So let me know if there are other floor stands for Sonos Play you found, or just please tell me how you place your portable speakers when using them as surrounds. Of course you’ll be fine, if there‘s some furniture behind you to put the speakers on. But that won’t be the case for everyone.

Ok, as promised I’d like to tell you about my experiences with the Vebos floor stand for Sonos Play.
In the meantime it arrived and I’m very happy with it. Officially at the moment the floor stand only is available in black. But as I prefer white I asked Vebos and they were able to send me the floor plate and the stand tube in white, because these parts also seem to be part of floor stands for other products. So I asked a friend to repaint the black top part and fortunately that was no problem. In the end I’m happy to have a white colored version of the Sonos Play floor stand. 😎

Imho this is a perfect solution to switch between mobile and fixed usecase. The height of 80cm fits quite well for surround speaker usage. The Vebos floor stand is of high quality and the Sonos Play can be put on and off the stand quickly and easily. The speaker fits perfectly and safe to the top part. A USB C cable can be installed within the stand tube and the speakers USB C port and control buttons on the back can be used without any problems.
The “ring design” of the top part that holds the speaker safe on the stand doesn’t have any negative impact on the sound.
The dimensions of the floor stand are not that large and fit well to Sonos Plays dimensions.
In the end it’s a very personal decision, if you prefer a floor stand solution, but if you do, I just can recommend the Vebos floor stand for Sonos Play as a high quality and comfortable solution to switch easily between fixed and mobile usecase.

Here some pics also in comparison to my Flexson Five/Play5Gen2 floor stand.

Edit: Sorry… Gainsight photos upload seems to be broken.
I will add the photos as soon as they have fixed that.

Edit:

Here they are now…

Looking at the mount, do the cutouts support using the charging base instead of the USB port?

That would be handy as you could just pick it up and take it without fussing with a cable.

Ok… in addition to my last post here is some information about using the original Sonos Play charger with the Vebos floor stand.
First I can tell you, that it can also be used to charge Sonos Play when put on the floor stand. There is a cutout, that fits perfectly for the cable connected to the charging plate. The plate itself fits to the upper part of the stand and also the speaker fits to the ring and the charging plate when put on it.
As the stand seems to be constructed for both solutions, using the original Sonos charging plate or using a 3rd party usb c cable and charger, there is just one little thing that is not such 100% accurate when using the original charger… pressing the power button on the speakers back is a little bit tricky, because you can just press the upper or the lower half part of the button. But it works without being a big issue.

Thank you @Stanley_4 for the question…

After trying this out I changed my opinion and decided to use the Sonos charger permanently on the stand. It’s much more comfortable to put the speaker on or off the stand without plugging in or out the usb c cable.

I simply used a small piece of double sided (and removable) tape to fix the charger plate on the stand.
