Sonos’ Roam speaker is now available in three new colours

Alongside the launch of its new Ray soundbar and the digital voice control assistant, Sonos also revealed new Sonos Roam colours.

This year it comes in Sunset (burnt orange), Olive (green) and Wave (a soft blue). All three colours match the Sonos branding really well to my eyes and they’re pretty exciting to see, since they, hopefully, represent more colourful Sonos speakers to come.

Back in 2018, the audio company released a limited run of colourful Sonos Play One speakers in collaboration with the design firm HAY. These looked awesome but since then Sonos products have been limited to simple black and whites.

The speaker starts at $229. The full review is available here.

New colourways for the Sonos Roam reportedly coming this week

We already know that Sonos plans to reveal its own voice assistant alongside a new soundbar called the Sonos Ray in the near future, but a new report from The Verge suggests that the company reportedly will reveal new colourways for the Sonos Roam as soon as this week.

The information comes from an email poster found on the Sonos subreddit that reads, “Your future looks bright.” Further, according to users who received the email from Sonos, it also has an URL which says “utm_campaign=roamcolors_teaser_owners,” clearly suggesting that new colours are on the way.

Additionally, the subreddit also suggests that a Chilean reseller called MusicWorld is already advertising the Sonos Roam in new colourways, however, that page seems to have been taken down.

While there has been no official word from Sonos about the new Roam colours (except the email), MusicWorld’s now-deleted page showed the speaker in new Olive Green (Olive), Light Blue (Wave) and Orange (Sunset) colourways, and so does the r/Sonos subreddit.

The new colourways are likely to cost the same as the old Black and White colourways, coming in at $229 CAD.

Sonos drops mic from Roam speaker and $30 from price

Sonos has released a new version of its ultra-portable Roam speaker called the Roam SL. This version drops the microphone and has a lower price.

In Canada, the Roam SL starts at $199, which is $30 less than the fully equipped Roam.

This is a decent deal, but after spending more time with the regular Roam, it stopped working randomly one day. I also found the single multi-use button on the back of the device confusing and struggled every time I needed to go from Wi-Fi to Bluetooth.

I still find myself using my Sonos Move way more than the Roam since taking the Roam out to use as a speaker on a hike or something was always a test in frustration. My older and cheaper UE Wonderboom 2 has been a much more reliable device, even if the Roam does sound a bit better.

If you are really interested in getting a Sonos Roam SL, you can pre-order it today from Sonos’ website for $200 and it will ship on March 15th.
