Portable Sonos Roam Speakers Are 25% Off Right Now – CNET [CNET]

These on-the-go Sonos speakers won’t be available at this low price for much longer.

Sonos is known for its top-notch home theater systems, but the brand can also help you upgrade your on-the-go audio experience. While its speakers are notoriously pricey, rare deals make it a little more affordable to invest in one without breaking the bank. 

Right now, the Sonos Roam and the Sonos Roam SL are discounted by up to $46 at Best Buy and Sonos, meaning you can snag one for as little as $119. That’s a discount of 25% in both cases, making now the perfect time to pick up one of these portable mini speakers for yourself. The sale is slated to last through Jan. 6, so you don’t have long to score the reduced prices. 

The Sonos Roam is one of our favorite portable mini Bluetooth speakers. It weighs less than a pound and has an ultracompact design for portability, plus it comes equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. It’s also rated IP67 water- and dust-proof and delivers a good sound for its size. A full charge will deliver up to 10 hours of playback. It’s also compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control, and automatically optimizes sound based on your location. This speaker’s main drawback is the hefty price tag of $179 — but right now, you can score the Roam for just $134 at Best Buy, which has price-matched the cost of buying from Sonos directly. 

If you don’t need a smart speaker per se and won’t mind going without the voice-control features available on the Roam, you may prefer the cheaper Roam SL. It’s discounted by $41 right now, dropping the price to just $119 at Best Buy — once again price-matching the deal Sonos is offering. 

Both companies are sweetening the deal with some freebies when you buy a Roam or Roam SL. Sonos is offering three months of Apple Music to new subscribers, while Best Buy is offering the same Apple Music trial and four months of SiriusXM for new subscribers.
