The Sonos Roam is the first truly portable speaker in Sonos’ line-up. Oh, the Sonos Move could certainly be moved around, but it’s too large and heavy to be very portable outside your own home. This is made for tucking in a pocket or tossing in a backpack for hitting the road.
When it comes to what it can do, the Sonos Roam is like a shrunkdown Sonos Move, but it actually has even more smarts going on than the larger speaker. Not only is this a Bluetooth speaker, but it’s also a Wi-Fi multi-room speaker, and works with Sonos’ system or in Apple’s AirPlay 2 multi-room system.
