The Roam 2 is Sonos' addition to the portable outdoor speaker market, and like most Sonos speakers, it integrates seamlessly into the Sonos ecosystem so you can use it to play multi-room media. If you get more than one speaker, you can pair them to create true stereo sound as well.

This speaker can also double as a speakerphone. There's an in-app EQ for you to fiddle around with, it has wireless charging, is waterproof with an an IP67 rating, and offers support for both Alexa and the Sonos voice assistant. (You can learn more in PCMag's "good" review.)

The defining characteristic of this speaker is its great audio quality despite its small size (2.4 by 6.6 by 2.4 inches) and light weight (0.95 pounds). The Trueplay feature, which uses microphones to gauge your surroundings and adjust the audio accordingly, gives it an edge over the competition.

Note that while Sonos has traditionally been praised for its speakers' companion app, people have recently complained about the app dropping some features. However, the company appears to be trying to rectify their issues, and it's still the best app for speakers I have used.

At this price, it's a great opportunity to try your first Sonos speaker, or add a portable one to your existing Sonos ecosystem.
