Sonos’s pint-sized Roam 2 speaker is 25 percent off for Memorial Day

If your summer plans involve spending any time outdoors, whether on the trail or at a pool party, a good portable Bluetooth speaker can go a long way. The latest Sonos Roam is built precisely for those moments, and right now, it’s on sale at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart for $134 ($45 off) for Memorial Day, matching its lowest price to date.

The second-gen Roam builds on what made the original such an impressive Bluetooth speaker for its size. Most notably, it’s much easier to use right out of the box. Unlike the first-gen model, which required you to set it up using the Sonos app over Wi-Fi before you could start listening to music, the newer version lets you pair it over Bluetooth immediately. It now also sports a dedicated Bluetooth pairing button on the back, making it easier to connect to various Bluetooth devices than the OG model, which relied on a single, multi-use button.

Otherwise, though, the Sonos Roam 2 is very similar to the original model. The lightweight speaker stands 6.61 inches tall and is roughly the size of a small water bottle, so it’s easy to toss in a backpack. It’s also IP67-rated for dust and water resistance and lasts 10 hours on a single charge, which should be enough for an afternoon at the pool or park.

Just as importantly, it sounds great. The second-gen model delivers the same clear sound as the original, with the ability to automatically adjust to your surroundings using Sonos’s Trueplay feature. You can also easily switch between listening to the Roam 2 and other Sonos speakers, too, or even stream audio from a Bluetooth-connected device across the rest of your Sonos system. Its tiny size means you’re not going to get the kind of rich bass you’d get from a dedicated party speaker or the new Sonos Play, but you can pair it with another Roam over Wi-Fi for more robust, stereo sound.
