Our Verdict

Sonos Roam 2

Beats Pill

The Sonos Roam 2 and the Beats Pill are both portable, battery-powered speakers and choosing between them mainly comes down to whether you value the Sonos' voice assistant support and ability to fit into an existing Sonos ecosystem. The Sonos features built-in support for both Alexa and Sonos Assistant, which can make it a breeze to input commands with your voice. The Sonos' wi-fi connectivity and companion app make it easy to integrate with other Sonos products too and pair other speakers for a multi-room sound. The Beats comes with a wired audio option though, which lets you connect to a device via USB-C and play audio from high-resolution sources. The Beats also has a slightly longer continuous battery life and a more bass-heavy default sound, though this can't be adjusted in the app, like with the Sonos.
