The Sonos Roam 2 is a welcome improvement over the OG model, even if the battery life and audio quality remain the same.

Sonos is no stranger to the occasional sale.
The iconic audio company routinely runs sales around Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day, and the Super Bowl, though it’s rare to see substantial discounts on its portable speakers outside of tentpole shopping events.
Fortunately, if you have no interest in the Sonos Move 2 or forthcoming Sonos Play , the Sonos Roam 2 is currently available from Amazon , Walmart , and Sonos for $139 ($40 off), which is just $5 shy of its lowest price to date.
Sound quality remains unchanged, though that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
The first-gen Roam was one of the best-sounding speakers in its class, with pleasantly crisp vocal performance and enough depth to satiate most folks, especially when Sonos’s automatic Trueplay room optimization tool did its job.
It’s a bit of a bummer that the USB-C port remains strictly for power, and that battery life tops out at 10 hours, but I’d venture that most folks are simply going to be using it at the park or simply for an afternoon at the pool.
After all, it has IP67 waterproofing, which means it can withstand up to 30 minutes in 3 feet of water.
Perhaps best of all, though, Sons claims to have made some tweaks and optimizations under the hood to ensure battery performance holds up in the long run, which was a crux of the original model.
I haven’t had the Roam 2 long enough to say for sure, but so far, so good.
