I liked the<\/span> original Sonos Roam enough to give it a 9\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>. And now, I fall on my sword in front of everyone who bought one based on my advice. I had one complaint, which was that my review unit’s battery\u2014along with the batteries of many other units belonging to people I know and work with\u2014had weird drain issues long-term. My first-gen model was unusable by the time I came back to compare it to this new model.<\/p>\n

With the Roam 2, quietly released alongside Sonos\u2019 new Ace over-ear headphones (8\/10, WIRED Recommends<\/a>), Sonos has remedied those battery problems. The company also added a button to make Bluetooth pairing easier and more instant when you’re not at home.<\/p>\n

It’s not precisely an engineering triumph, but I do like to see brands update products to fix what’s broken rather than reinvent the wheel. Functionally, the Roam 2 looks and acts identically to the first model. This one just aims to last longer than a couple years, and it comes with an easier Bluetooth pairing button. I still like it, and I’ll like it even more if long-term testing shows that the battery (and the device itself) will last.<\/p>\n
