Sonos’ smartest and most versatile speaker
sounds incredible for its size, is effortless to set up and
control, and packs new innovation into a premium, lightweight and
durable design
Sonos (Nasdaq: SONO) today introduced Sonos Roam™, the
ultra-portable smart speaker built to deliver great sound at home
and on any adventure. Fully connected to your Sonos system on WiFi
at home and automatically switching to Bluetooth when you’re on the
go, Roam’s powerful, adaptable sound defies expectations for a
speaker of its size. Effortless set-up and control and new smart
features make it easier than ever to enjoy music and more from
anywhere. Weighing less than a pound, Roam’s elegant yet durable
design is perfect for your home, the backyard, and wherever you go.
Roam is available starting April 20 for $169. Customers can
pre-order today on sonos.com.
“We built Roam to give customers a way to bring the Sonos
experience with them wherever they go,” said Patrick Spence, Sonos
CEO. “It’s not only our smartest and most versatile speaker, it’s
also our most affordable. Roam provides the opportunity for
millions of new customers to get started with Sonos, and is the
right product at the right time as we begin to gather again with
friends and family.”
Get to know Sonos Roam
A simultaneous connection to both WiFi and Bluetooth makes
streaming wherever you are seamless. When you’re listening at home
Roam connects to your system and streams on WiFi, and when you
leave it intuitively switches to Bluetooth and automatically
re-pairs with your mobile device. With an all-new feature called
Sound Swap, you can hold the play/pause button on the speaker to
switch the music to the nearest speaker on your system, making it
easy to move music from room to room. Seamless connectivity also
unlocks Bluetooth streaming for your entire system, with the Sonos
app allowing you to group any of your Sonos speakers to Roam when
streaming with Bluetooth. Roam works with more than 100 streaming
services, including Sonos Radio, and is easily controlled with the
Sonos app, your voice with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, Apple
AirPlay 2, or directly from your favorite music service app.
Roam was created to deliver an incredible sound experience no
matter where you are. Like all Sonos products, Roam was tuned by
industry leaders across music and film to ensure the speaker
reproduces content exactly how the creator intended. A carefully
designed acoustic architecture delivers rich, detailed sound with
the clarity, depth, and fullness you’d expect from a larger
speaker. Automatic Trueplay is now available when streaming via
Bluetooth as well as WiFi, and means Roam is always tuned for the
best listening experience in any environment.
“For a small, portable speaker, Roam sounds big and genuine. It
doesn’t sound forced or artificial and that’s a testament to its
technical design. It’s unique in its class because it actually
performs like a finely tuned speaker as opposed to a megaphone,”
said Emily Lazar, Grammy award-winning mastering engineer and
member of the Sonos sound board.
Available in shadow black or lunar white, Roam’s tactile
triangular shape and soft profile is comfortable to pick up and
looks great inside the home. Combining elegance and durability,
Roam is dust proof and fully waterproof with a rigorously tested
IP67 rating, and features silicone end caps and physical buttons to
protect against drops or bumps. Roam is ready for any adventure
with up to 10 hours of continuous playback on a single charge and
up to 10 days of battery life when not in use. To recharge, Roam
connects to a custom magnetic wireless charger from Sonos sold
separately, any Qi wireless charger, or with the USB-C cable
included in the box.
Roam’s compact size will fit into any bag or the smallest corner
of your living space. Listeners can place Roam vertically for a
smaller footprint or horizontally to provide added stability on
uneven surfaces outdoors. Even the packaging leaves a light
footprint, with a structure that is made of 100% sustainably
sourced paper, minimizes the use of inks, and includes no
single-use plastics.
Representing a new versatile addition to the Sonos lineup, Roam
is available starting April 20 for $169 on sonos.com and through
participating retailers.
