Sonos is releasing a smaller, more affordable speaker for around USD $169 … and you can pre-order via their website.
Taken from Engadget … Sonos confirmed the rumors of a new device today by announcing the Roam portable speaker. It’s meant to be a smaller, more affordable alternative to its existing portable speaker, the $399 Move. At $169, it certainly fills a big gap in Sonos’ lineup, but it remains more expensive than competing devices.
The $169 Sonos Roam is available for pre-order starting today from the company’s website. It will officially be available starting April 20, and pre-order customers can expect their speakers to ship around that time.
Unlike the relatively large Move, the Sonos Roam has a smaller, narrower design and weights just about one pound. It’s IP67-rated, protecting it from dust and from being submerged in water for up to 30 minutes. Inside are two Class-H amplifiers, one mid-woofer and one tweeter, and the Roam supports adjustable EQ using the companion app. You’ll be able to pair two Roam speakers together for stereo sound and connect the new speaker to existing Sonos devices you may have around your home.
