Sonos released another mic-less Bluetooth speaker, so it’ll just be you listening to your speaker and not the other way around. Sonos’ latest portable speaker, the Roam SL, excludes a microphone and the accompanying voice assistant capabilities that you can find in the original Roam model. Also, it’s entering the market as the company’s most affordable portable Bluetooth speaker at $159.
Except for some microphone-enabled features, The Roam SL is pretty much the same as the $179 Roam speaker that was introduced by Sonos last year. They even have matching dimensions, both coming in at 6.61 inches tall, 2.32 inches wide, and weighing just under one pound. But the one big caveat is that the Roam SL is not voice-enabled.
