Sonos Roam 2 Ultra-Portable Waterproof Smart Speaker — White packs genuine Sonos sound into a speaker that weighs less than a pound. Two Class-H digital amplifiers drive a dedicated tweeter and an elliptical midwoofer, while Automatic Trueplay continuously retunes the output to whatever room, patio or trailhead it finds itself in. An IP67 rating means it shrugs off dust, sand and full submersion, and up to 10 hours of battery keeps it going well past sundown. Use it as a Bluetooth speaker anywhere, then bring it home to WiFi where it becomes a full member of your Sonos system with Apple AirPlay 2, Sonos Radio and hands-free voice control.
Specifications
Size-Defying Sound
Two Class-H digital amplifiers are tuned specifically to Roam 2's acoustic architecture, driving a dedicated tweeter for high-frequency detail and an elliptical midwoofer that handles the midrange and pushes low end well beyond what a speaker this size suggests. The result is a portable that holds its composure at volume rather than thinning out, which is the usual compromise at this scale.
Automatic Trueplay Tuning
Trueplay measures how sound reflects off the walls, furnishings and surfaces around the speaker, then adjusts the output to suit. On Roam 2 it runs continuously through the built-in microphones, so moving from a tiled bathroom to an open patio retunes the speaker without any action on your part. The speaker needs to be registered in the Sonos app for the feature to operate.
IP67 Waterproof and Dustproof
Roam 2 carries a full IP67 rating, meaning it is sealed against dust and can be submerged in three feet of water for up to thirty minutes. Silicone end caps absorb the drops and knocks that come with a speaker you actually carry around, and the hardwearing finish resists the scratches and scuffs of a bag full of other gear. Beach, trail, poolside and ski slope are all within its brief.
Up to 10 Hours of Playback
An 18Wh battery delivers up to ten hours of continuous playback at moderate volumes. Battery Saver powers the speaker down automatically after ten minutes of sleep, and WiFi Power Save extends runtime further when connected at home. Charging runs through the included USB-C to USB-C cable and a compatible adapter, with 7.5 W the minimum and 10 W or higher recommended.
Light Enough to Take Anywhere
At 0.95 pounds and 6.61 inches tall, Roam 2 is genuinely pocketable in a way most portable speakers only claim to be. The ergonomic triangular profile sits comfortably in one hand and drops into a bag without demanding its own compartment, which is the difference between a speaker you intend to bring and one you actually do.
Upright or on Its Side
Stand Roam 2 vertically to take up almost no shelf space, or lay it horizontally for added stability on uneven ground. The speaker detects its orientation and adapts the sound accordingly, so neither position is a compromise. For best results, leave about an inch of clearance behind it.
Tactile Button Controls
Physical buttons handle play, pause, skip, replay and volume, with a separate button to mute the microphones. They are deliberately tactile rather than touch-sensitive, which prevents the accidental presses that plague capacitive controls on a speaker being carried, jostled and set down on uneven surfaces.
A Dedicated Bluetooth Button
Roam 2 gives Bluetooth its own button on the back panel, alongside the power button and the USB-C port. Hold it and the speaker enters pairing mode immediately, with no app setup required to start playing. Bluetooth 5.2 streams from any compatible device within roughly thirty feet, and the speaker can reconnect to your most recent device automatically.
A Smart Speaker Once It's Home
Connect Roam 2 to WiFi through the Sonos app and it becomes a full smart speaker rather than a portable that happens to be nearby. You gain higher-quality streaming, freedom to move around the house without staying tethered to your phone, and immunity from having calls and notifications interrupt playback. Sonos Radio adds thousands of free stations at no additional cost.
Apple AirPlay 2
Stream directly from an iPhone, iPad or Mac running iOS 11.4 or later over WiFi. Through the Apple Home app you can also call on Siri from your own device to start Apple Music playback, which makes Roam 2 a natural fit for a household already built around Apple hardware.
Control Through the Sonos App
The Sonos app gathers your services, settings and rooms into one place, handling everything from EQ and volume limits to grouping speakers and enabling Trueplay. It is also where you set a maximum volume, manage Bluetooth behavior and check remaining battery, so the speaker's less obvious capabilities stay accessible rather than buried in button combinations.
Hands-Free Voice Control
Sonos Voice Control is built in and works over both WiFi and Bluetooth, letting you skip a track, change volume or check the battery without reaching for the speaker, and it processes requests with privacy in mind. Amazon Alexa is supported over WiFi at home for routines, smart home control and broader queries, and requires the Sonos app alongside the Alexa app with the Sonos skill enabled.
Part of a Larger Sonos System
Roam 2 slots into an existing Sonos setup rather than sitting apart from it. Pair two in the same room for true stereo, group it with speakers elsewhere for synchronized whole-home audio, or hold the Play/Pause button to hand a stream off to the nearest microphone-equipped Sonos product as you move between rooms. It works equally well as a first Sonos speaker or a tenth.
Effortless Wireless Charging
Set Roam 2 down on any compliant 10 W Qi-certified charger and it begins topping up, with no cable to locate or connector to line up. The purpose-built Sonos Roam Wireless Charger snaps to the speaker magnetically and is sold separately, making a permanent home base for the speaker between outings.
