Our Verdict

Sonos Roam 2

Ultimate Ears EVERBOOM

The Ultimate Ears EVERBOOM and the Sonos Roam 2 have different strengths that are suited to different uses. The Ultimate Ears is better built, has a longer battery life, and has better directivity, making it ideal for outdoor or on-the-go use. That said, the Sonos has some incredible voice assistant integration with Alexa and Sonos Assistant that make it a versatile choice for those who want a smart home speaker that can also be brought around with you from place to place.
