Sonos Roam 2 - White - Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

The Sonos Roam 2 is a Compact Powerhouse for Audio Enthusiasts on the Go When it comes to portable speakers, the Sonos Roam 2 has carved out a niche for itself by blending sleek design with stellar performance. This second iteration of the Roam series builds upon its predecessor's success while refining features that make it an appealing choice for audiophiles and casual listeners alike. Let’s dive into what makes the Sonos Roam 2 a standout device in the increasingly crowded world of portable audio. Design and Portability The Sonos Roam 2 retains the elegant, minimalist design that defines the Sonos brand. Weighing just under a pound, its compact, triangular shape fits comfortably in one hand, making it perfect for travel or outdoor adventures. The durable, IP67-rated casing ensures the Roam 2 is both water-resistant and dustproof, an essential feature for those who want to take their music to the beach, pool, or hiking trails. The slightly improved tactile controls and modern aesthetic are a testament to Sonos’ attention to user-friendly design. Sound Quality Sonos has a reputation for delivering high-quality audio, and the Roam 2 is no exception. For a speaker of its size, the sound is remarkably full and balanced. The crisp highs, clear mids, and punchy bass ensure an immersive listening experience, whether you’re enjoying a podcast or a bass-heavy playlist. The speaker features Auto TruePlay technology, which adjusts the sound based on its surroundings, creating an optimal audio profile whether indoors or outdoors. This feature, in particular, sets the Roam 2 apart from many competitors, who often struggle with sound quality in varied environments. Battery Life One of the most notable upgrades in the Sonos Roam 2 is its extended battery life. With up to 15 hours of playtime on a single charge, it offers a significant improvement over the original Roam’s 10-hour lifespan. Additionally, the device supports wireless charging via Qi-compatible pads, as well as a USB-C cable for those who prefer traditional charging methods. This versatility ensures that you’ll never be without your favorite tunes for long. Smart Features and Connectivity The Sonos Roam 2 truly shines in its smart features. Built-in support for Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant means that voice commands are just a call away. Setting alarms, controlling smart home devices, or queuing up playlists is seamless and hands-free. The speaker also supports Apple AirPlay 2, enabling easy streaming from iOS devices. Moreover, the ability to switch effortlessly between Wi-Fi at home and Bluetooth when on the move ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience. One of the unique selling points of the Sonos Roam 2 is its integration within the broader Sonos ecosystem. Pair it with other Sonos speakers for synchronized, multi-room audio, or use it in stereo mode with a second Roam 2 for an enhanced auditory experience. This level of versatility is rare among portable speakers and makes the Roam 2 a valuable addition to any home audio setup. Drawbacks While the Sonos Roam 2 excels in many areas, it is not without its shortcomings. While the bass performance is impressive for its size, true bass aficionados might feel it falls short when compared to larger, more powerful speakers. Conclusion The Sonos Roam 2 is a stellar upgrade to an already impressive portable speaker. In short, the Sonos Roam 2 is a compact powerhouse that doesn’t compromise on quality, making it one of the best portable speakers available today.

I was looking for a portable travel speaker that felt worth packing in a suitcase, and I'm happy with this purchase. The sound quality is impressive for its size, and it's more than enough for casual listening. Battery life could be better—I get around 6–7 hours per charge—but it's adequate for occasional use, whether I'm showering, enjoying a morning coffee, or bringing it to the beach. Connecting through both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is quick and straightforward. There are definitely other speakers with longer battery life and arguably better value for the money. However, for my needs—good portability, decent sound quality, and easy everyday use—the Roam 2 has been a solid purchase.

I own a lot of Sonos products, and this one is like the rest good quality and the sound is awesome for the size of the speakers. It connected quickly with my Sonos system and it functions well. As far as the cost, I bought it pre prime days and got a really good deal the value for the money is great. Programing the Alex part was a little tricky but I got it done. I would suggest reaching out for help with it instead of returning the speaker, it well worth the money.

A wonderful little speaker. Got this to use on the deck but it will go anywhere and we can keep it plugged inside and use in any other room. The speaker uses ai to detect its surroundings and automatically adjusts the equalizer to match the room or outdoors. It said you can also speak to it to control it when it’s on WiFi. You can also use it with Bluetooth when away from your Sonos system. Love this little thing! Good sound for being so small.

So, the positives right up front. Very small and portable. Simplistic but stylish. Easy to use and setup. Love the dedicated Bluetooth. Comes well packaged from Sonos. Very small and for its size, puts out good volume. Now the potential cons. I have a Sonos Arc and the Sonos Move (1st Gen). Got them both for a great sale price and the sound quality never ceases to impress me. Especially the Move, which even at very high volumes plays great music from rock, country and rap. I bought the roam to be more portable than my Move, which I use on the deck, poolside or at small gatherings. The Roam was more for hiking, beach trips and casual listening washing the car, etc. I have to say I am not impressed. It sounds decent at its highest volume although you can tell you’ve reached its limit. I never feel like any of my other Sonos products have hit a limit even at 100% volume. It also sounds almost flat and very mono sounding vs steep or simulated stereo. Worse, it’s okay with rock or country or anything that has very little bass, but don’t try and play any kind of rap or hip hip. The bass is almost non-existent and really makes it feel like you’re pushing the speakers beyond their capabilities. Granted, most small portable like this would have similar issues, but when I listen to my sons JBL Flip 5, which costs less than half the price, I feel like the bass is much richer and the sound is louder, but of relatively similar quality as the Sonos, which is very disappointing. Maybe I’m missing the mark on its intended use, but I don’t think so. For small sound and high portability, it’s okay, but feels overpriced when compared to a couple others for what it offers. Would have considered a slightly larger roam in its 2nd generation for larger speakers or drivers or a dedicated bass port. I’ll have to sample it for a while and along others. I’m on the fence keeping it vs returning it. I’ll update my decision later. UPDATE: okay, after using it down at the beach, I would have to say my opinion has changed some. While I still would like a bit more volume, it’s pretty good for small spaces and close to me or around the pool or campfire. Sound has grown on me for most music and I recognize what it is for its ultra portability. Battery life is good and it’s been easy to pair. Loud enough to enjoy, but not so loud as to annoy others around me at the beach. I bought it at full price for $179. If you wait for Prime Day or other major sales days, it drops to $143, which is a much more reasonable price where it’s worth it.

Not worth the cost!! Not portable! Battery dies within 1-2 hours with full charge. There are much better and less expensive portable speakers on the market, with much longer battery life. I am not normally one to write reviews. However, I'm frustrated and disappointed. As someone who has invested a lot of money getting the SONOS Play 1 & equipping my entire house with surround sound, I've respected SONOS for a long time. I even overlooked the lack of bluetooth and airplay compatibility in the (originally $600+ Play 1 system). Despite being an easy and common feature in most speakers. To this day, I still can't connect youtube or soundcloud to the Play 1 speakers. And many other things. That said..... I do love the sound quality of SONOS and recently wanted to invest in a small, portable speaker for work. From Day 1, this "roam" speaker has had a battery life of 1-2 hours, max after a full charge. It is essentially useless without being plugged in. I am wishing I would have invested into Bose instead. Between the Play 1 limited capabilities and now the Roam battery issues, I don't think I will continue to purchase from SONOS. Do NOT buy this speaker if you're looking for PORTABLE. The charge does not last.

I'm a longtime SONOS fan and have a number of their wired speakers in various parts of my house as part of my surround sound set-up as well as for just playing music throughout the house. I bought this speaker hoping the quality would extend into a solid Bluetooth speaker that was portable enough to pack in a small bag but powerful enough to play decent quality music at the beach, while camping, in rooms with small numbers of people, etc. Unfortunately this speaker just doesn't have the power to fill a room. It's particularly lacking in bass and there's a notable loss in quality (compared to my headphones) in much of the music I listen to. It has an app with a equalizer that you can customize to add more bass or treble when playing the speaker, but again it's really only with the treble that you can hear any noticeable difference depending on the setting. The difference between highest and lowest settings for the bass is almost inaudible. I ended up buying a JBL Charge 6 and putting these two speakers side-by-side just to compare and make sure I wasn't going crazy, because I actually wanted to like this SONOS speaker and keep it if possible (given I'm already in the SONOS orbit and it would keep things simpler). The JBL blew it out of the water. Its sound is much better quality and it can easily fill a large room or outdoor space. I can't imagine a scenario where I would ever need to have the volume all the way up on the JBL, even with a small house gathering where people are talking loudly. It's a little bigger than the SONOS but still easily portable in my backpack. Not quite as stylized as the SONOS, but definitely more rugged appearing and looks like something you could take outside without having to worry about it too much. On the other hand I would probably hesitate before taking the SONOS on the beach or near a campfire--it looks like something designed mainly for indoor use despite the description on Amazon.

This speaker shines if you’re already in the Sonos ecosystem. The standout feature for me is the ability to pair it with my other Sonos products, so when I’m listening to music or watching a game, I can extend the sound from inside the house out to the patio or yard seamlessly. It’s a great way to keep the audio going as you move between indoor and outdoor spaces without missing a beat. Sound quality is solid for its size, and it’s portable enough to grab and bring outside whenever needed. If you don’t already own Sonos gear, you’ll still get a decent standalone speaker, but the real value here is in how well it integrates with an existing system. For current Sonos owners looking to extend their setup outdoors, this is a great pickup.

Sonos Roam 2 - White - Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker There are tonnes of reviews of this out there but I'll only mention things i've noticed and really enjoy or didnt enjoy in this brief review. The bad? 1. Setup is a real pain... actually. What should've been straight forward , there were a lot of glitches getting this into the Sonos ecosystem. In general i find the "initial setup" for all sonos products to be rather inconsistent and frustrating. To note, i have 5 sonos speakers in my house -- every single one had had strange glitches and workarounds to get them initialized into my home sonos ecosystem. I bought TWO sonos roam2's in order to do stereo pairing. Both sonos roam2's during setup, had different problems. First one, it would not detect, factory reset twice... it finally worked. It was detected but then , ran into a weird glitch to "add " to the system. It timed out after some 5+ minutes..... i restarted the process again, and finally it worked. The second sonos, again, i had to factory reset once, then it wasnt able to find wifi this time. After going thru a couple more times it finally worked but then it ran into yet another problem where it would not "finish registering" (??) i had to do this around 10 times and finally it worked. I paired the speakers OK but after 15minutes, the pairing (as L / R stereo) decoupled again!!! I re-paired the two and linked them a second time... so far so good. knock on wood. 2. it is a usbc connector for power .... it comes with the cable which is 1m. However it does not come with actual power supply!!! it requires a 3A plug which is like a modern apple or pixel ubsc charger. These will cost you extra --- i'm not sure why they didnt include one with the sonos --- > especially at the premium pricetag here. The good? 3. Sounds amazing for consumer use. While obviously not audiophile quality, for me they sounds fantastic . For such a tiny speaker, they fill the room with deep sounding bass thickness and very crisp highs. Theres a bit of the "mid scooped" sound but thats kind of expected for consumer type speakers. I'm happy that at least you can control the BASS/TREBLE EQ on the app. A "loudness" toggle is basically a must -- not sure why you'd turn that off. I wouldve appreciated a MID EQ too but i'm not gonna be too picky here as it sounds OK without. Pop / acoustic songs sound the best. Rock is muddy because of that mid-scooped sound but i think its a preference thing. 4. After you "pair" two ROAM2's for stereo, the app assigns a L and R channel. I have this in the kitchen in two corners. It literally fills the kitchen with a really WIDE stereo image and it feels very immersive. Sounds actually amazing for a kitchen. 5. Roam2's are so small, you can just grab one and take it on the go for bluetooth mode only. They pack a good charge so you need no plugs 8-10h of playtime (which is fantastic) -- They are hefty despite the size and i reckon most of that weight is due to the battery. 6. Unlike older sonos, the newer ones including this roam2 supports 5ghz wifi which i'm so thankful for. 2.4 is too congested and my older sonos does not work well in 2.4 anymore so i had to wire it to ethernet. This one supports 5ghz and it is super reliable. 7. I bought two white roam2's and they fit so nice in the corner because of the triangular form factor. You can barely notice its existence in the kitchen but once they start playing, the sound is HUGE for such a small pair. To conclude, if your use case is like mine: Paired stereo 2x roam's discrete look in a room, this is a great solution that has built in amp, speakers and a highpowered chip (quad a53!!!) for excellent media streaming. Integrates perfectly with streaming apps like spotify. I'm super happy with it so far and so is my wife who finds these so easy to use in the kitchen and around the house.

Estoy plenamente enamorado con el sonido que transmite esta bocina. Obviamente transmite muy bien la firma clásica de Sonos, mundialmente conocida por su calidad de audio, un desastre con su app y ser demasiado cara jejejejje. Viendo muchos reviews y de acuerdo a mis necesidades decidí probar ahora que estaba en oferta la bocina y me ha dejado perplejo. Lo del precio, pues si está caro con respecto a marcas más generalistas como UE o JBL, a la par de otras marcas de calidad como Bosé, y muy inferior a marcas premium como B&O. La app en este momento es perfecta, ya no he tenido problemas en mi hogar desde las últimas actualizaciones de hace meses. Y en cuanto a su sonido presume una calidad inigualable en las vocales, con unos bajos muy aptos para su tamaño tan pequeño y peso. Me gusta la electrónica, el rock, R&B, y pop y todas las canciones que he puesto se escuchan perfectas. Goza de una gran tecnología en su interior, con una perfecta integración con el resto de equipos Sonos de tu hogar y la tremenda habilidad de poder conectar todas las bocinas de tu casa y mandar audio desde AirPlay 2 por WiFi que es un gran acierto. Lo que tenía en mente era poder disfrutarla en el hogar pero también poder tomarla y llevarla al trabajo, y si peso y dimensiones son perfectas, no cansa en la mano o en el portafolio, cabe perfecto en cualquier maleta de mano o mochila, y llena muy bien un espacio pequeño. Eso sí, NO es para una fiesta, para eso necesitar el Move. En comparación con otras bocinas, en casa contamos con una Bosé Soundlink Flex y es muy similar su acústica, solo las voces las percibo más calidad y los bajos más explosivos, además que es más ruidosa, y también tenemos una UE Wonderboom la cual tiene una menor nitidez de graves y las voces suenan muy artificiales, pero es inclusive más ruidosa que la anterior, esta y la JBL Flip son mejores para las fiestas en espacios abiertos ej. en una alberca, aunque la jbl carece de definición en los medios y los graves no me gustan.

I recently got my hands on the Sonos Roam 2 in white, and it has completely transformed my listening experience! This portable waterproof speaker is not only stylish but also delivers exceptional sound quality, making it perfect for any setting—whether I’m relaxing at home or away or backyard. The design is sleek and lightweight, making it super easy to carry around. I love how it seamlessly fits into my lifestyle; I can effortlessly toss it in my bag or take it to the beach without worrying about splashes or spills. The sound is surprisingly powerful for such a compact speaker, with clear highs and robust lows that fill the space beautifully. One of the standout features is its smart connectivity; it pairs effortlessly with my other Sonos devices, allowing for a synchronized audio experience throughout my home. The battery life is fantastic, and I appreciate the fast charging capability, which means I can enjoy hours of music without constantly worrying about recharging it. Overall, the Sonos Roam 2 is an outstanding investment for anyone who values quality sound and portability. It’s become my go-to speaker for every occasion, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Very beautiful, good sound, syncs perfectly with other Sonos speakers. Just wish the battery lasted longer & when they turn on they can take about a minute to show up on the Sonos app but I’m very happy with them overall
