Sonos’ next product, which is due to be officially unveiled next Tuesday (9th March), looks almost certain to be a portable Bluetooth speaker called Roam.

As reported by The Verge and according to a source it states has “direct knowledge of the Roam”, the Sonos Roam (pictured) measures 6.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 inches, making it much smaller than Sonos’ existing Move Bluetooth speaker and more comparable to the size of the popular UE Boom and JBL Charge. 

Sonos hasn’t confirmed the existence of the Roam to the publication, but the leak carries a fair bit of weight – not least as rumours of such a device have been circling for months now and, let’s be honest, it does look very Sonos.

The report doesn’t delve into all of the features but does state that the Roam will come with a USB charging cable, with a wireless charging dock provided as an optional extra costing $49. The Sonos Roam itself will supposedly cost $169 when it goes on sale on 20th April.

That suggests that the US company’s other heavily rumoured product, Sonos wireless headphones, could well be the second of the two products it plans to release this year.
