Description:

FULL STORY
======================================================================

The Sonos Roam 2 has long been expected to launch this year, with rumors 
pinning its release down for some time in June . That hotly anticipated 
announcement is looking even more likely with the appearance of the audio 
gadgets first leaked images. 

This leak comes via The Verge , which was able to obtain images of what it 
says is a "prerelease Sonos Roam 2". Not only does this serve as the most 
convincing evidence yet that a next-gen Sonos portable speaker is landing 
soon, it also gives us some insight into the products design.

The Sonos Roam 2 leak shows a gadget thats nearly identical to its 
predecessor. The two standout differences (the term 'standout' being used 
liberally here) are that the Sonos logo now matches the main speaker body  so 
its black on the black Sonos Roam 2 rather than white, as it was on the 
original  and that the underside houses a dedicated Bluetooth pairing button. 

The latter should make it a lot simpler to connect your Roam 2 to your phone 
or other Bluetooth  hopefully removing the need to sync it with your phone 
first via Wi-Fi. How deep do the similarities go? 

Unfortunately the leak doesnt give us any idea of the Sonos Roam 2s 
all-important sonic capabilities, though if it can improve upon its 
predecessor we shouldnt have much to worry about. 

In our Sonos Roam review we commended the wireless speakers powerful audio 
performance especially for a smallish, easily portable speaker. Though the 
bass was described as overwhelming  so bass-haters might not appreciate the 
beats it puts out. If the Roam 2 can surpass these results for around the 
same price point, well be golden. 

To know exactly how the Sonos Roam 2 performs well have to try it out for 
ourselves, and hopefully we'll have that opportunity soon. As always, we 
should take leaks with a pinch of salt, but these images and the other rumors 
are all pointing to a launch fairly soon. Were patiently holding our breath 
for some official news to drop. You might also like You can now finally use
