SeekerSonos Roam SL
The Sonos Roam SL is alright for music. It has a neutral sound profile out of the box, making it suitable for listening to a wide variety of audio content. Its balanced mid-range ensures vocals and lead instruments reproduce clearly and with detail. There's a bit of extra warmth in the high-bass range that adds extra boom to the mix. You can tweak its sound to your liking, thanks to the bass and treble sliders in its companion app. However, like most small portable speakers, it lacks a thumpy and rumbling low-bass. It also needs to be paired to another speaker to play stereo audio and downmixes stereo content to mono when using it on its own, which isn't as immersive.

The portable Sonos Roam SL is the exact same speaker as the non-SL model for $20 less, minus a microphone for voice control.

The Sonos Era 100 is a new era - pun entirely intended - for Sonos speakers. It takes the company's excellent entry-level speaker and gives it a make-over, both internally and externally. There is so much to love about it that we can definitely forgive Sonos for replacing the excellent One.

For those already invested in Sonos, this portable speaker is an absolute no-brainer addition to the family. It delivers all the convenience of a Bluetooth speaker, with the benefits of adding it back into a wider Sonos system when you're at home. All that, and it sounds fantastic too.
