A third light next to the microphone button lets you know when the mic is active - Sonos says this is hard-wired to the mic circuitry so when the light is off, you can be assured that no one is listening. Two tiny LED lights hidden behind the grille tell you the speaker’s status: One light that shows whether you’re in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth mode and one that indicates the battery’s charge level. It looks like it could end up getting badly dented, but behind that thin layer is a much more robust hexagonal lattice, which gives the grille an impressive amount of rigidity.

The only thing missing is an integrated lanyard option for times when you need your hands free. Where the Move’s integrated carry handle always feels a little risky when you grab it, the Roam’s shape practically begs you to scoop it up and take it with you. Angle any of its three sides toward your palm, and your fingers naturally curl around the curved edges, along the other two sides. ![]() ![]() Its Toblerone-esque triangular shape isn’t just for looks it makes the Roam supremely grabbable. The Roam’s shape practically begs you to scoop it up and take it with you.ĭespite its diminutive size, the Roam’s minimalist design is pure Sonos, whether clad in matte black or matte white like our review unit. ![]()
