Short answer: the Sonos Roam 2 if sound quality matters most, the DBSONO X-Blast F37 if price matters most. The Sonos Roam 2 ranks #94 of 179 medium speakers, rated 3.2/5, at $178. The DBSONO X-Blast F37 ranks #117, rated 2.8/5, at $69.99, $108.01 cheaper.
The Sonos Roam 2 is the better-sounding, lighter choice. A small Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speaker with water resistance, Alexa built in and Sonos multiroom support. At 0.9 lbs (429 g) it weighs much less than the DBSONO X-Blast F37 at 1.7 lbs (771 g). The catch: Exact same sound quality as the original Sonos Roam.
The DBSONO X-Blast F37 is the deeper-bass pick. An affordable splash resistant speaker with a separate woofer and tweeter, long Bluetooth range and stereo pairing. Its bass reaches about 49Hz before falling 10dB, against 63Hz for the Sonos Roam 2. Watch for: Very recessed lower mids, peaky upper mids, just not a great frequency response overall.
Buy the Sonos Roam 2 if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the DBSONO X-Blast F37 if the price matters more than sound quality.
