These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Sonos Move 2 ranks #28 of 117 large speakers by sound quality at $480; the Sonos Roam ranks #94 of 178 medium speakers by sound quality at $169.99.
The Sonos Move 2 is the longer-running option. A Wi-Fi and Bluetooth portable with warm, full sound, clear mids and a long battery for moving around the home. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 10 for the Sonos Roam. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Sonos Roam lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Sonos Roam. The catch: Not very loud.
The Sonos Roam is the lighter choice. A small, waterproof Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker with wireless charging, voice control and Sonos multiroom support. At 0.9 lbs (429 g) it weighs much less than the Sonos Move 2 at 6.6 lbs (3 kg). It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Sonos Move 2 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Sonos Move 2 lacks. The tradeoff: Bass extension isn’t very good.
One note: the Sonos Roam is discontinued and no longer widely available new. The Sonos Roam’s replacement, the Sonos Roam 2, is still sold new.
Buy the Sonos Move 2 at $480 if you want a large speaker. Buy the Sonos Roam at $169.99 if you want a medium speaker instead.
