Sonos Roam 2 review

The Roam 2 is the only speaker here that behaves like a home speaker indoors and a Bluetooth speaker outside. On Wi-Fi it joins a Sonos system for whole-home audio, takes AirPlay 2 streams from Apple devices and responds to Sonos Voice Control or Amazon Alexa. Away from home it switches to Bluetooth 5.2. Automatic Trueplay adjusts the sound to wherever you set it down, and holding Play/Pause sends audio to the nearest Sonos speaker. It is IP67 rated, drop resistant and weighs 0.95 lb, the lightest pick on the list. Charging works over USB-C or on any Qi-certified wireless charger. The drawbacks are battery life, rated at up to 10 hours at moderate volume, and the fact that no power adapter comes in the box. If you do not own other Sonos gear, the Beats Pill gives longer battery for less money.

Who it is for

Sonos households that want a portable speaker that joins the home system and also works on trips.
