It’s fair to say Roam wasn’t built in a day. While Sonos doing things in its own time hasn’t dented the multi-room expert’s reputation, it is still perhaps a little surprising that it has taken until 2021 to reveal the brand’s first truly portable outdoor speaker.
The Sonos Roam is an off-roading, deep-diving speaker with dimensions and a feature set to rival those from JBL and Ultimate Ears. Given Sonos’s recent run of superb-sounding products, one we can drop in our backpack and take on a ramble has been highly anticipated – especially since the Move, the company’s first battery-powered speaker, was more portly than portable in comparison.
