Sensible proportions, Bluetooth connectivity and reduced reliance on the Sonos app make it perfect for partying anywhere, while Wi-Fi means it’ll still play nicely with existing Sonos kit. Sonos has tried portable speakers before, but the Roam is the first that you can properly sling in a satchel. Even dialled up to 11, the listen remains balanced but energetic, whatever genre’s on your playlist. Bass is rich without drowning out details, matched by captivatingly clear mids and crisp trebles to boot. Two 2in full-range drivers team up with a pair of passive radiators to fire room-filling sound in all directions, with True Stereophonic tech eliminating sweet spots. Sonically the same as its predecessor, it remains worthy of a headline slot. And like a gig-ending encore, there’s more: Stack Mode means you can sync a tower of Emberton IIs, while the partner app lets you tweak the EQ. With reliable Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, enhanced IP67 waterproofing and a beefier battery good for more than 30 hours, its feature list is as solid as Motörhead’s back catalogue. But don’t let its palm-sized form factor fool you: the upgraded Emberton II packs more punch than ever.
Built small but mighty, its compact proportions are complemented by a premium finish – complete with metal grilles front and back. Styled like the amps that made Marshall’s name, the second-gen Emberton certainly merits its position in our best Bluetooth speaker list and what’s more, it doesn’t need a team of roadies to shift it.
