Sonos Roam vs. Sonos Roam SL vs. Sonos Move

If you’re looking to use your speaker outdoors or on your adventures as well as at home, Sonos have 2 great options for you - the Sonos Roam/SL and the Move 2.

Sonos Roam: £179 - available in black or white

Sonos Roam SL: £159 - available in black or white

Sonos Move 2: £449 - available in black or white

With all three being battery-powered, you can take advantage of WiFi streaming when you’re at home and use Bluetooth when you want to take the speaker away. Simply charge the battery up when it gets low.

As the Move 2 is a larger and heavier speaker than the Roam/ Roam SL, the Move 2 is designed to be used around your home and garden without needing to rely on a power socket.

If you’d like to take your speaker away from the home, maybe on your adventures or on holiday, the Roam/ Roam SL is much smaller and lighter and convenient to take with you in a rucksack.
