Yesterday’s discount on the Sonos Ace over-ear headphones wasn’t the only sale you can find on new additions to your Sonos setup. You can also nab the Sonos Roam 2 for just $139 as part of the Amazon Spring Sale. This Bluetooth speaker has excellent sound despite its relatively compact size, and of course it plays nicely with your other Sonos speakers.

Unlike older Sonos products, the Roam 2 now has Bluetooth in addition to Wi-Fi. When you’re home, the speaker joins your network and acts just like any other Sonos speaker in your setup. Take it on the go, and you can easily connect your phone and keep the tunes rolling. The Sonos app isn’t always the best at finding new speakers, but in this case it fired right up and connected to the Roam 2, good news for the easily frustrated. It has a fun sound profile that’s great for picnics or backyard hangs, with solid bass and balanced mid and upper ranges. Some other Bluetooth speakers might get louder, but the Roam 2 makes up for it by joining a chorus of other speakers around your home.
While the first-generation Roam suffered from some long-term battery health issues, Sonos has assured us that the Roam 2 more than fixes the problem, and at least in the short time our reviewer Parker Hall spent with it, it wasn’t an issue anymore. The outside is also slightly prone to smudges and scuffs, something to keep in mind if you prefer your equipment looking pristine. It’s waterproof, though, and quite sturdy, so just know that any marks you see on the housing are just surface level.
I spotted the discount in both black and white, but they’re both marked as “Limited Time Deals” so you’ll want to move fast if you’re interested.
