The Sonos Portable Speaker Is Currently on Sale for $45.
Whether you’re already part of the Sonos ecosystem or just looking for a fully featured portable speaker at an affordable price, the Sonos Roam 2 is a versatile option. It supports Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Alexa integration, and multi-room audio, and it’s currently at an all-time low of $134 (original price: $179).
While most portable speakers are Bluetooth-only, the Roam 2 can switch between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections. It’s also ideal for those who already own Sonos speakers, allowing you to easily move music between rooms, pair multiple speakers, or use Sound Swap to stream audio to a nearby speaker. Like its predecessor, the original Roam, the Roam 2 offers a balanced and rich sound. This PCMag review notes one important upgrade to the Roam 2: Trueplay, which uses built-in microphones to measure your surroundings and adjust the sound accordingly. Other differences with this model include a separate Bluetooth speaker and an updated charging cable.
Otherwise, the features are identical to the previous model: the same speakers, a completely waterproof design, and wireless streaming capabilities. The equalizer is adjustable, and the “Add a voice assistant” section allows you to use Amazon Alexa or Sonos Voice Control. If you’re a Sonos user or simply want a compact (and shower-friendly) speaker with reliable sound, wireless charging, and unique adaptive acoustics, the Sonos Roam 2 is a great buy with a 25% discount.
