Back to Basics
Sonos has introduced Sonos Play and Sonos Era 100 SL, two new speakers that reflect a renewed focus on strengthening the Sonos ecosystem. Designed to deliver powerful, room-filling sound, they make it easier than ever to start and expand a system room by room. The new speakers arrive just ahead of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, offering Malaysians the perfect way to elevate their home entertainment experience.
“Much of consumer tech promises innovation, yet too often delivers isolation — new devices replacing old ones instead of building on what already works,” said Tom Conrad, Chief Executive Officer of Sonos. “We believe a great sound experience should not reset every time you add something new. It should get better.”
Sonos Play
Sonos Play is the brand’s most versatile speaker with rich stereo sound designed to live at home and move seamlessly beyond it. Key features include:
- Part of Your Sonos System: Connect over WiFi to group across rooms or pair for stereo
- Portable Listening: Removable utility loop with 24-hour battery life, IP67-rated waterproof design
- Extend Your System Anywhere: Group multiple speakers directly from Bluetooth when away from home
- Sustainable by Design: Optimised power management with replaceable battery
Era 100 SL
The Era 100 SL offers a simplified, more accessible way to enter the Sonos experience. With a mic-free design and streamlined feature set, it delivers confident, room-filling sound on its own and expands effortlessly into the Sonos system over time.
Availability
Sonos Play and Sonos Era 100 SL are available for pre-order starting today at tcacoustic.asia Official Website, Sonos Concept Store @ The Starhill, and Sonos Malaysia Official Store on Lazada. Both speakers will be available in Malaysia starting Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
Our Take
Sonos is returning to its roots with these essential speakers. The focus on backward compatibility and system expansion is refreshing in a market that often pushes users toward upgrades. The Play’s portability addresses a real gap in their lineup. These speakers represent Sonos at its best – simple on the surface, powerful because of the system behind them.
