The verdict

The Sonos Roam 2 doesn't stray far from the original in terms of design, specs, and features. Frustrating app setup issues aside, it's a great-sounding portable speaker. Existing Sonos users will benefit from their home smart setup reaching a little further. Still, with its new Bluetooth connection option, anyone can use it as a standalone Bluetooth speaker for your next adventure without relying on the finicky Sonos app.

✓Liked: No longer need the Sonos app for Bluetooth connection, IP67, Sleek design, Loud for its size

✕Could be better: Frustrating WiFi setup issues, Companion app operation issues, No hardware upgrades, Bluetooth 5.2

Owners

How we verify owners

Nobody who owns the Sonos Roam 2 has written in yet.

Owner reviews are not paid for, not solicited from specific owners, and not rewritten by us: at most we proofread typos, which is shown on the review’s own page and which the author can undo. The commission SoundGuys may earn on this page comes from retail links, never from owner reviews.
