Large, tactile buttons on the top (when vertically oriented) make for easy playback and volume control that you can nicely feel your way through, making it easy to control in the dark. And, according to Sonos, the Roam's concave end-caps serve three functions "preventing accidental button presses, providing a stable-base when stood vertically, and increasing drop resistance". This is a slightly newer form-factor for Sonos, with a slimmer and more pill-shape profile than anything else in their line-up. Both orientations effectively direct the sound upwards towards the listener. Its dual-orientation form factor, lets you place it vertically to take up less space on a surface or horizontally, which comes in handy for uneven surfaces you might encounter when outdoors (grass, sand, you get it). The Roam is elegant, rugged, and made for music-lovers (and Sonos fans) on the go.

And, even with this smaller form factor, Sonos still managed to pack in an amazing list of features that we believe fairly justifies the sub $200 price point for a portable speaker.
#Sonos roam review Bluetooth
The Roam is Sonos' first ever compact Bluetooth speaker and is smaller in stature and more rugged, with waterproof durability, than any speaker within the Sonos ecosystem. Sonos introduced it's first portable Bluetooth speaker with the 7 pound, 10-inch Move in 2019, which quickly jumped to one of our best-selling Bluetooth speakers of all time.
And, like all of Sonos' speakers, it's available in black and in white, though, we're keeping our fingers crossed for some limited-edition colorways in the future. It's more rugged than any other Sonos speaker, with a waterproof rating, and still comes through with that rich, Sonos sound. It's like Sonos took everything that we loved about the Sonos Move and shrunk it down into something we could comfortably carry with us, throw in a bag, and not have to worry about if the party gets a little "crazy". The Roam is a brand new, portable smart speaker with Bluetooth and WiFi and it weighs less than a pound and is "smaller than a water bottle". The Sonos Roam is the kind of speaker that makes us excited for warmer weather.
