These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Denon Home 350 ranks #9 of 10 powered desktop speakers by sound quality at $749; the Sonos Roam ranks #94 of 178 medium speakers by sound quality at $169.99.
What the Denon Home 350 does well: A large Wi-Fi smart speaker that plays loud, with lossless streaming, built in Alexa that hears you well, and app tone controls. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Sonos Roam lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Sonos Roam. The tradeoff: RTINGS measured a slightly boomy sound profile out of the box and disappointing directivity, so the sound changes noticeably off to the side of the cabinet, plus compression artifacts as it nears max volume.
The Sonos Roam is the battery-powered, tougher choice. A small, waterproof Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker with wireless charging, voice control and Sonos multiroom support. Its battery is rated for 10 hours, while the Denon Home 350 needs an outlet. It is rated IPX5, while the Denon Home 350 has no water resistance. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Denon Home 350 lacks. The tradeoff: Bass extension isn’t very good.
Worth knowing: the Sonos Roam has been discontinued and is hard to find new at this point. The Sonos Roam’s replacement, the Sonos Roam 2, is still sold new.
Buy the Denon Home 350 at $749 for a powered desktop speaker, or the Sonos Roam at $169.99 for a medium speaker instead.
