For those already invested in Sonos, this portable speaker is an absolute no-brainer addition to the family. For those considering a Bluetooth speaker and wondering if the Roam is worth the investment over others the answer is yes. It delivers everything a Bluetooth speaker should, yet so much more.Read full verdict For
Water-resistant design
Battery life a little under claimed
(Pocket-lint) - Sonos Roam is the second portable Bluetooth speaker in the company s portfolio, but really it s the first when talking portability - because the Sonos Move isn t all that portable by comparison.

We’re all longing to get back to live events like parties, gigs and concerts. But while we wait, Sonos hopes to bring the recording studio to you with the just-announced Sonos Roam. But with its steep £159 price, is it really the best choice, or are rivals out to spoil the show?
Sonos bills its new Roam wireless speaker as ‘the portable smart speaker for all your listening adventures’. It’s Sonos’ first truly portable speaker you can easily take down the garden or to the park – and just about anywhere, when lockdown restrictions come to the end.
It’s certainly far more fully-featured than its similar-looking Bluetooth speaker rivals. While most speakers this size are simple devices you simply connect to your smartphone using Bluetooth, the Sonos Roam offers full compatibility with the Sonos app and multi-room ecosystem the brand is known for.
