Sonos Roam 2 is designed for outdoor listening and is currently discounted to $134 at major retailers. The second-generation model improves setup by allowing immediate Bluetooth pairing without Wi-Fi or app configuration. A dedicated Bluetooth pairing button on the back makes connecting to different devices easier than the original. The speaker is lightweight and about the size of a small water bottle, standing 6.61 inches tall. It is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance and provides up to 10 hours of battery life. Sound quality remains clear, with automatic room adjustment via Trueplay. It can switch with other Sonos speakers and stream Bluetooth audio across a Sonos system, and it can pair with another Roam for stereo over Wi-Fi.
"Unlike the first-gen model, which required you to set it up using the Sonos app over Wi-Fi before you could start listening to music, the newer version lets you pair it over Bluetooth immediately. It now also sports a dedicated Bluetooth pairing button on the back, making it easier to connect to various Bluetooth devices than the OG model, which relied on a single, multi-use button."
"The lightweight speaker stands 6.61 inches tall and is roughly the size of a small water bottle, so it's easy to toss in a backpack. It's also IP67-rated for dust and water resistance and lasts 10 hours on a single charge, which should be enough for an afternoon at the pool or park."
"The second-gen Roam 2 is very similar to the original model. Just as importantly, it sounds great. The second-gen model delivers the same clear sound as the original, with the ability to automatically adjust to your surroundings using Sonos's Trueplay feature. You can also easily switch between listening to the Roam 2 and other Sonos speakers, too, or even stream audio from a Bluetooth-connected device across the rest of your Sonos system."
"Its tiny size means you're not going to get the kind of rich bass you'd get from a dedicated party speaker or the new Sonos Play, but you can pair it with another Roam over Wi-Fi for more robust, stereo sound."
