Our Verdict
Sonos Move 2
Sonos Roam 2
The Sonos Roam 2 and Sonos Move 2 are both portable speakers, but which is better depends on your needs. If you prioritize a smaller size, the Roam 2 is considerably lighter. However, the Move 2 sounds better and gets louder. It also has more consistent sound across different listening angles. That said, the Roam 2 shares similar functionality as the Move 2 via the app and is easier to pack in a backpack for a hike.
