The Sonos Roam 2 has the same design and sound quality as the original but now has improved controls and can be used in Bluetooth mode right out of the box.
Sonos is refreshing its small portable speaker, the Roam, with a second-generation model that mostly adds some minor quality-of-life improvements. It’s reasonable to think of the new Roam 2, available today for $199, as more of a Roam 1.5: this is really what Sonos should’ve released in the first place. As I reported earlier this month, the Roam 2 can be used right out of the box like any other Bluetooth speaker.
The compact speaker’s max continuous listening time of 10 hours is unchanged, but Sonos CEO Patrick Spence told me there are under-the-hood tweaks. “We’ve optimized the battery; there’s a little bit better battery life,” he told me at a media briefing in New York last week without getting too specific. He said Sonos’ main learnings from the original Roam were that customers wanted more tactile buttons and the freedom to use it immediately after purchase.
