Sonos are due to release a new product tomorrow. Thanks to leaks, we now have a name, images and features for the upcoming speaker.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sonos already sell a durable, battery-powered, WiFi and Bluetooth smart speaker called Sonos Move.<\/a> Designed for both indoor and outdoor listening, the $400 speaker is weatherproof and drop-resistant, however it’s far from compact and hardly ‘portable’. This makes Sonos Move more suited to carrying out to the garden, than throwing it a bag to take camping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to leaks from The Verge<\/a>, Sonos’ product launch tomorrow may well be the company’s first truly portable speaker. The first signs of a smaller speaker came via an FCC filing spotted last month.<\/a> This was followed up with Sonos announcing a product launch due on the 9th March, featuring an image of someone carrying a bag, plus plenty of captions that further suggest a travel speaker of some kind. Note that Sonos have made no comment on the existence of the speaker, so we won’t know for sure until tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
