Sonos Roam 2 vs Play

The Sonos Roam 2 is a more portable option compared to the Sonos Play, but comes up short in terms of battery life and sound. Both speakers are IP67 rated for protection against dust damage and water submersion but the Play uses slightly more premium materials. It also has a more balanced default sound, can get much louder, and has double the continuous battery life. That said, if you're looking for a speaker that can be slung in a pocket or attached to your bike, the Roam 2 is one of the most portable speakers out there. It's a fair bit cheaper, too, and can be a great gateway into the Sonos ecosystem.
