The specifications of the product were released by the FCC in September 2014. It was to market released in October 2014.
Two limited editions of the speaker, the Blue Note Play:1, which was a collaboration with Blue Note Records for its 75th anniversary, and the Tone Play:1 were released in both March and July 2015 respectively. It was added to Spotify's Connect service as a beta feature in November 2016.
Besides being compatible for SonosNet, the speaker can also be paired with another Play:1 to make a stereo pair, in which both act as a separate audio channel, also being Sonos' first mono speaker. It can also be paired alongside a Playbar and Sub to create a basic home theater system.
