Whether you’re already part of the Sonos ecosystem or you’re simply seeking a full-featured portable speaker that doesn’t cost too much, the Sonos Roam 2 is a versatile option. It supports wifi, AirPlay 2, Alexa integration, and multi-room audio, and right now, it’s at an all-time low price of $134 (originally $179).
While most portable speakers are Bluetooth-only, the Roam 2 has the capability to switch between Bluetooth and wifi connections. It’s also ideal for people who already have Sonos speakers, letting you seamlessly move music between rooms, pair multiple speakers, or use the Sound Swap feature to transfer audio to a nearby speaker. Like its predecessor, the original Roam, the Roam 2’s sound is balanced and full-bodied. This PCMag review notes one important update on the Roam 2: the Trueplay feature, which uses built-in mics to measure your surroundings and adjust the audio accordingly. Other differences in this model include a dedicated Bluetooth speaker and an updated charging cable.
Beyond that, the specs are similar to the previous model, with the same drivers, a fully waterproof design, and wireless streaming options. EQ is adjustable, and the Add a Voice Assistant section lets you use Amazon Alexa or Sonos Voice Control. If you’re a Sonos user or simply want a bag-friendly (and shower-friendly) speaker with reliable sound, wireless charging, and unique adaptive audio, the Sonos Roam 2 makes for a smart buy at the current 25% discount
