It may have launched back in 2021, but I’ve only recently gotten my hands on the Sonos Roam portable Bluetooth speaker to review.

Given it’s a three-year-old speaker that still appears prominently in lists of the best Bluetooth speakers across the internet, I wanted to see for myself how the compact speaker holds up.

After all, this is a $299 speaker that can integrate with your existing Sonos system as well as double as a portable Bluetooth device. Unlike the Move or Move 2, it can be thrown in a bag and taken away without any difficulty.

After weeks of listening to anything and everything, I have to say that this is my new favourite portable speaker.
