The Sonos Roam is a smaller, triangular speaker that weighs in at a tiny 430g.
Designed for life on the move, it’s the perfect addition to any picnic or park trip, as we find ourselves socialising outdoors this Spring as lockdown lifts.
It launches on April 20, and is available to pre-order now at sonos.com.

With 10 hours battery life, it’s also water resistance to IP67 (that’s one metre depth for 20 minutes), and has been designed to sound excellent when lying down or standing up.
However, Sonos has the edge over existing outdoor Bluetooth Speakers as the Roam has been designed to be used indoors too.

The Roam connects with Sonos’ smart multi-room Wifi system, can stream music directly via Wifi from a number of streaming services including Spotify and Apple Music, can support smart speakers, and can be grouped with other Sonos speakers to play music throughout the house.
It seamlessly switches between Wifi to Bluetooth when you take it out the house; so there’s no need for fiddly pairing or swapping networks, which allows it to work as well inside and it does outside.
For extra fast connections, Sonos’ Roam speaker also has exciting new Sound Swap technology, which will let you move the sound to or from your nearest speaker just by pressing and holding the play/pause button.
Of course, with any speaker the sound is key, and the Roam’s high quality speakers include separate woofer and tweeter speakers, alongside Sonos’ Trueplay technology, which automatically adjusts and tunes the sound wherever you place the speaker – making the most out of it’s acoustics, position, or even any obstacles inside or outside.
Sonos’ Roam is also their most affordable speaker, and is priced at just £159.
It’ll go on sale April 20, and is available to pre-order from sonos.com.
