New ‘Sonos Roam’ Portable Bluetooth Speaker Leaked [Images]

A new ‘Sonos Roam’ portable Bluetooth speaker has leaked ahead of its expected unveiling this month. According to The Verge, the Sonos Roam will be priced at $169, measure 6.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 inches, and weigh about a pound. A wireless charging dock will be sold separately for $49.

Like the Move speaker, the Sonos Roam will be able to play audio over both Wi-Fi (when at home on your regular Sonos system) and Bluetooth on the go. On Wi-Fi, the Roam will function like any recent Sonos speaker as part of a multi-room system. It runs on the company’s S2 platform that rolled out last year. There are built-in mics for hands-free voice commands for either Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, and AirPlay 2 is supported as well. Two Roams can be stereo paired when in Wi-Fi mode.

Battery life on the Sonos Roam is said to be around 10 hours. The speaker is fully waterproof and will come in white and black colors.

Sonos is expected to officially announce the Sonos Roam at an event on March 9th. It will purportedly ship on April 20th.
