Grab the compact Sonos Roam 2 at over 20% off this weekend!

Sonos often rolls out sales, especially during major events like Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day, and the Super Bowl. However, significant discounts on their portable speakers are a rare find outside these occasions. If you’re not eyeing the Sonos Move 2 or the upcoming Sonos Play, the Sonos Roam 2 is currently priced at $139, a $40 discount, making it just $5 shy of its lowest price ever.

The original Sonos Roam was a solid speaker, but the Roam 2 brings some meaningful quality-of-life improvements, especially for those who found pairing the first-gen model via Bluetooth a hassle. The new Roam features a dedicated pairing button on the back, eliminating the need to hold down the power button for a lengthy sync process. It still connects seamlessly to Sonos’ broader ecosystem through your home Wi-Fi.

While the sound quality remains consistent, that’s not a drawback. The first-gen Roam was already one of the top performers in its category, delivering crisp vocals and sufficient depth to satisfy most listeners, particularly with Sonos’s automatic Trueplay room optimization working its magic. It’s a bit disappointing that the USB-C port is solely for charging and that battery life maxes out at 10 hours, but most users will likely enjoy it at the park or poolside. With an IP67 waterproof rating, it can handle being submerged in up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes.

Perhaps the most exciting news is that Sonos has made tweaks to enhance battery performance over time, addressing a key issue with the original model. While I haven’t had the Roam 2 long enough to confirm its longevity, initial impressions are promising.
