Perfect addition to the Sonos family
This is perfect for extending your music through the home to anywhere you need it. I find it really good for the pool area, having an era 100 playing in the patio and the roam 2 in the pool area is a great combination and you never miss out on sound. The battery is good as well.

Great sound quality
Not as loud as others bigger speakers in the same price range, but the sound quality is amazing, plus the integration with Alexa and adaptative sound

Good sound, crap app.
Sound quality is really good- surprising amount of bass for such a small thing. Even double bass sounds quite good through this Connects easily to my phone for playing Spotify. The only problem i have is that the Sonos app that is supposed to work with it does not work, and you need it to use some of its features. The was upgraded last year, and the new version is quite broken- it does not connect to the speaker, and it requires that i register, but their system won't let me register. Apparently the app has been broken for a year now and they can't fix it. This doesn't make much difference to me- i can still use it the way i want to, and as i said, it sounds great. It's just a bit annoying.

Saved By WiFi Feature.
If it wasn't for the wifi feature this product would not have been on my purchase list. Being able to stream directly from Spotify, Amazon Music etc does not impact your phone or tablet battery. The unit's compact size and rechargeable battery makes it suitable for personal use at home or when travelling. It appears to be well built, is visually attractive and has decent sound and volume. The claimed 10 hour battery life seems a bit of a stretch...perhaps if volume was that low you would need to hold up to your ear. The worst aspect of this unit is the glitchy Sonos App. Google voice assistant is no longer available and you are left with Alexa and Sonos voice assistant. Alexa is pretty decent, Sonos next to useless. The ability to import playlists from Streaming Services into the Sonos App is appealing...in reality it is somewhat of a nightmare and currently not working. I have for the time being given up after multiple attempts at fixing (numerous YouTube & Google searches). Unless you want WiFi, I would not recommend this speaker. Numerous Bluetooth speakers sound significantly better and considerably less expensive.

Things to consider
Compared with some larger or more rugged portable speakers, the Roam 2 prioritises compact size and smart ecosystem features over longer battery life and bigger room-filling sound.
Portability rating
9/10 - Very compact 168 x 62 x 60 mm design and 0.43 kg weight make it easy to carry daily.
Outdoor suitability
High - IP67 protection makes it well suited to outdoor use, travel, and poolside listening.
Battery endurance rating
7/10 - Up to 10 hours is practical for day use, but shorter than some larger portable speaker rivals.
Audio quality score
8/10 - Strong sound for its size with automatic tuning, though it is not designed to replace larger speakers for bigger spaces.
Multi-device compatibility
9/10 - Supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, the Sonos app, and AirPlay 2 for flexible playback across common devices and home setups.
Key benefits
- Compact and lightweight design: Easy to carry in a backpack or move between rooms for everyday portable listening.
- IP67 water and dust resistance: Better suited to outdoor use, poolside listening, and travel where splashes or dust may be an issue.
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity: Lets you use it as a simple portable speaker or as part of a connected home audio setup.
- Dedicated Bluetooth button: Makes switching into Bluetooth mode quicker and more straightforward than earlier setup approaches.
- Up to 10 hours battery life: Supports a full day of casual listening away from a charger.
- Automatic Trueplay tuning: Adjusts sound to the surrounding environment to help maintain balanced audio in different spaces.
- USB-C charging: Uses a common charging connection that is convenient for travel and everyday recharging.
- AirPlay 2 support: Gives Apple users an easy way to stream audio directly from compatible devices.
Q: Can Roam 2 play over Bluetooth without Sonos app setup
A: Yes. Sonos Roam 2 can be used as a Bluetooth speaker straight out of the box, so initial Wi-Fi setup is not required just to pair a phone. Features tied to the Sonos system still need Wi-Fi and the Sonos app.
Q: How easy is it to switch between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
A: Sonos Roam 2 has a dedicated Bluetooth button, so switching between portable Bluetooth use and home Wi-Fi listening is more direct. Bluetooth suits quick pairing on the go, while Wi-Fi is the mode for Sonos multi-room playback.
Q: Will this speaker fill a large room or outdoor party
A: No. Sonos Roam 2 is better suited to personal listening, travel and small gatherings than a large open space. Its compact 430 gram body is easy to carry, but that size also limits bass weight and maximum volume compared with larger speakers.
Q: Is the Sonos Roam 2 waterproof enough for poolside use
A: Yes. Sonos Roam 2 has an IP67 rating, so it is built for poolside, beach and outdoor use where splashes, dust and rain are realistic risks. It is not designed to be used as an underwater speaker or left sitting in water after use.
Q: Can Apple devices use AirPlay 2 instead of Bluetooth
A: Yes. Sonos Roam 2 supports AirPlay 2 from compatible Apple devices when it is connected on Wi-Fi, which suits home listening inside an Apple setup. Away from your network, Bluetooth is the simpler option for direct playback.
Q: Does Automatic Trueplay change the sound in different rooms
A: Yes. Sonos Roam 2 uses Automatic Trueplay to tune itself to the space around it, which helps keep the sound balanced as you move between rooms or outdoors. It improves tonal balance, but it does not add the scale of a larger speaker.
