Truly wireless - Battery Powered PLAY unit

Just wanted to agree with above opinions. I too was excited when I saw the adverts (not showing the cable) but was disappointed to find it isn't portable. This would be perfect. I have sonos in every room except the bathroom. A truly portable play:1 would be ideal for bathroom and garden use.

Please build one Sonos.

I totaly agree with the above mentioned ideas. I would just add the idea of a REMOVABLE battery.
It would enable to
- always have a full loaded battery ready
- be able to replace a to old battery not charging anymore
Thanks,

While this request is similar to several of the battery powered Play 1 options, I'm more interested in a weather resistant version of the Play 3 or Play 5 for mounting outside on my patios. They would be under the roof overhang but still exposed to humidity and heat and cold so they would likely need to be more than an indoor unit. Currently I use older Cambridge Soundworks outdoor speakers wired to a Connect Amp but have other locations where I want to add speakers. Running a power plug is way easier than speaker wire back to an indoor location for another Connect Amp. Produce a weather resistant version and my bet is they'll be a top seller!

And this kind of units (and any sonos component...) could be used stand alone without domestic network, to have music directly streamed to it through a Sonosnet wifi connection (without router...), so you just have to take your speaker and your smartphone to listen to music anywhere

Would there be a bluetooth link as well? Like the Bose soundlink mini, but then in the Sonos experience being able to link it into my Sonos network as well?

Wifi has better bandwidth I believe, so why would you want Bluetooth?  As a phone or whatever has Wifi as well as Bluetooth, why degrade the Sonos system to follow the pack?

Hi Paul, would like to be able to take a small rechargeable Sonos device out of my home wifi network and take it as a standalone bluetooth connected with my phone when I go to the park or travelling.

Presume I am not able to do that without bluetooth.

Hi,

Most smartphones could either use WiFi direct or Airplay (if you only speak Apple) which could be used rather than Bluetooth.  That would mean a single interface for the Sonos system rather than complicating it with 2 different types of transmission. Have a look at the Pioneer  A3 XW-SMA3-K to see what I mean.

Hi , always happy to learn, thanks Paul.

This is exactly what I am looking for; but then want it from Sonos pls so I can hook it up with the rest of my Sonos network at home as well.....!!
