In this house we have analyzed almost all the products of Sonos that have been reaching the market and we know them in depth. On this occasion we can already announce which is the new addition to the Sonos product catalog and surprisingly they return to the load with a wireless product.
Sonos Roam is the new wireless audio device from the North American firm that perfects the idea of the Move and promises to free us from cables, something that in Sonos devices is already minimized. Let's take a look at the new Sonos presentation and how the new Roam can fully enter the portable sound market to compete with the veterans.
The design of this new Sonos Roam is in line with the latest devices of the brand, completely abandoning the concept of outer nylon and making a "monocoque" quite striking and above all durable. As is usual for the brand, we will be able to see the new Sonos Roam in two shades: Black and white.
Like the Sonos Move, it will have a WiFi connection to improve sound quality, although we will have the possibility of connecting through Bluetooth when the device deems it necessary, all incorporating the protocol Apple AirPlay 2 that greatly facilitates the development of a Multiroom room. In this way it will be integrated through Sound swap with the rest of the speakers in your system, allowing us to switch music to the nearest Sonos device with just one button.
This time around the smart, automatic equalization setting that Sonos calls true play it will support Bluetooth playback in addition to the usual WiFi. In the same way that it already happened with the Move, this new Sonos Roam is IP67 certified against dust and water, as well as autonomy of 10 hours of uninterrupted playback (and 10 days on StandBy) of music, and can be charged through its wireless base or through the compatible USB-C cable. Soon we will have the analysis in Actualidad Gadget, so stay tuned.
