Short answer: the Huawei Sound Joy 2, if you are buying new. The Huawei Sound Joy ranks higher than the Sonos Roam 2 (#40 vs #94 of 177 medium speakers) but is discontinued; its replacement, the Huawei Sound Joy 2, is rated 3.5/5 at $154.73 and is still sold new.
The Sonos Roam 2 is the lighter pick. 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 noticeably less than the Huawei Sound Joy at 1.5 lbs (680 g). The tradeoff: Exact same sound quality as the original Sonos Roam.
The Huawei Sound Joy is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. A waterproof speaker with a separate tweeter, long battery life and good loudness, with a Devialet mode for its best sound. Its bass reaches about 56Hz before falling 10dB, against 63Hz for the Sonos Roam 2. It is rated for 26 hours of battery against 10 for the Sonos Roam 2. It is rated IP67 against IPX5 for the Sonos Roam 2. The catch: Boosted treble, not quite as deep of bass as a JBL Charge 5.
Buy the Huawei Sound Joy 2, the replacement for the discontinued Huawei Sound Joy; it is rated higher for sound quality than the Sonos Roam 2.
