Hi,
And technically speaking they are in fact bluetooth speakers so not sure
why it'd not be considered a valid answer to the original question.
Take good care.

I have a power bank with USB charging capabilities, so I would
imagine the Sonos Portable speaker would charge with that? I’m afraid
to ask, but how much does that portable speaker cost?

I would second this. We have one that we use out on the deck, and
it’s super portable. The only thing I would add is that it does not
come with any kind of power supply. It only comes with a USB cord.
So if you want to have a way to charge it other than by connecting
it to a computer, you’ll need to purchase that separately.
Thanks,
Donna

Well, the Sonos roam is actually very portable. It probably is
more than what you’re looking for, but just in point of fact, it is
portable. For someone who already uses Sonos in their home, it’s a
nice complement to devices you already have. I know this may not
be the original intent, but I wanted to point it out for others who
might find this information helpful and are reading this thread.

I don’t think Sonos uses bluetooth.
Sonos is a wireless sound system, and doesn’t really compare to
an individual bluetooth speaker.

Are they plugged into a serge protector? Also, I believe this
original thread had to do with Bluetooth speakers for the Mac
which is not the same as a smart speaker experience. Can Sonos
function as actual Bluetooth speakers?

Yeah, well, hope yours don’t all blow at the same time. Let me
tell you replacing that many involves a hefty price tag. And I
will say that when my husband posted our experience to the Sonos
user list, we very quickly learned that we aren’t the first
people that that has happened to.
Cheers,

I absolutely love the sound and quality of my Sonos S1 Gen 2
speakers. We have four pair of them plus a Sonos Beam plus a
Sonos Roam. Everything works well together. We use a
combination of Lady A and Hey Sonos to do everything we want to
do and have been using Sonos for years. We have the apps on our
iPhones, iPads and windows machines. The only issue I have is
that the Mac app is not accessible at this time.

HI ET,
I would strongly advise against using Sonos speakers, or at
least Sonos 1s. They sound great, but they are hiccuppy with
Siri - if there’s ever a room that doesn’t play when I tell it
to, it’s always a room with a Sonos.. Also, about four weeks
ago, all our four Sonos1s fried at the same time. I assume we
had some kind of power surge during the night while we slept,
but the only place that it was evident was these four
speakers. All other appliances were fine, including our Sonos
Amp and our Sonos Move. None of our clocks needed to be
reset, or anything like that. in fact were it not for the
Sonos, we would never have known the power surge had even
happened. None of them was more than two years old. My
husband read online about how you can take them apart and
replace the fuse, so thought he’d give it a try. When he
opened up the Sonos, he found that both the fuse and the
capacitors were fried, as in brown. It is our feeling that
there is some kind of design flaw in the Sonos 1s that renders
them susceptible to this, since none of our other Sonos
speakers were damaged. We’re so ticked off that we’ve decided
to just replace the failed Sonos with the new HomePods when
they come out.
Cheers,
Donna
