Truly wireless - Battery Powered PLAY unit

I'd love this as well. A nice portable sonos that I can move into rooms I'm not in frequently enough to warrant buying a dedicated unit or to take outside onto the balcony during the summer.

A kitchen radio-style Sonos player that could be battery operated would be a nice addition. Pretty please with sugar on.

Hi, There seem to be two similar threads on this topic: This one 'truly wireless' and also: 'outdoor speaker' Both threads have Mike C as the Sonos official rep, but Mike you haven't posted for 11 months. Is there any development in this area please? I think lots of us would like a portable Play3, and many would like to take it outside.

I would also the idea of a battery(rechargeable)/portable speaker. I regularly want my music outside or in the bathroom where there is no power. Currently for outside I have to run an extension and take one of my P5's outside. I guess version 2 could also double as a bluetooth speaker when out of range of the sonos network eg. on the beach.

A new product should be easier to realize. And if.. please don't use proprietary battery packs and of course don't glue it. For the sake of the environment!

Clarification on why this is popular when other ideas clearly more popular are already tossed out as not planned?
Agreed.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled A portable with a battery. I imagine I'm the 354th person to suggest this but I am looking forward to the Play with the rechargeable battery in it for use in the bathroom! If Squeezebox/Logitech can do it, I'm sure Sonos can.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Battery powered Play 1. Play1 looks liek the perfect system to have music in the bathroom but the need for the power source is obviously a problem. Is Sonos looking at allowing Paly1 to be battery powered (rechargable)?

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled stop me buying a jambox. Can you please release a smaller more portable speaker? Something I can put on the balcony, take in the shower, take to the beach, take sailing or on holiday.

Ideally it should be

- smaller than the play 3
- durable
- splash/waterproof
- dustproof (i.e for the beach)
- good battery life
- storage space for cable or self coiling power cable to recharge
- not so expensive
- obviously compatible with my existing sonos components
- include a carry case
- lightweight
- include some more functional buttons like fast forward
- have a good switch which will not allow the device to be turned on when packed in my baggage

Thanks!

Having looked at the design of the Play:1, (but not seen one in the flesh), the power is supplied from the bottom of the unit. Maybe they are developing a rechargeable battery that the Play:1 can sit on!
