The Roam 2 has been hovering around the £ 140 since the beginning of November , so the cliff in terms is n’t too steep , but this is still the lowest price we ’ve construe the speaker go for since it was released .
The Roam 2 is n’t too dissimilar from the original , but that ’s not necessarily a tough affair . The design has n’t changed , it ’s still low and portable , although we would have liked a cringle to make it easier to tie to a knapsack . It does come with a new consecrated Bluetooth button that make it leisurely to swap between Bluetooth and Wi - Fi musical mode .
It has an IP67 military rating , which means it can be deluge into pee one metre mysterious for 30 minutes without being damage .

If you do require to interchange the sound you could manually do so in the Sonos app , which when on a Wi - Fi connection , features ramp up - in backing for music service such as Amazon Music , Tidal , and Qobuz among others .
The sound timbre is enjoyable for a verbaliser of its size . The midrange is clear and detailed , with a good focus on song . There ’s a nice twinkly feel to the high frequency , though the one area where the Roam 2 could be strong is in the freshwater bass section . you could also stereo twain with anotherRoam 2 , or the original speaker if you have one .
This is an excellent muckle for a relatively new portable talker . We ’d be surprised if you see a cheaper damage for the Roam 2 anywhere .
