Sonos Roam 2 vs Sony LinkBuds Speaker

The Sony LinkBuds Speaker and the Sonos Roam 2 are similarly sized speakers that target users of different brand ecosystems. If you're already invested in the Sonos ecosystem, then picking up a portable, waterproof speaker from the brand might make sense. It plays nicely with other Sonos speakers on your network and has an excellent build quality that will withstand heavy rain. On the other hand, if you have a pair of LinkBuds headphones, the Sony speaker is the obvious choice because you can set it up so that as soon as you put your headphones away, audio starts playing back from your speaker. If you're invested in neither brand's ecosystem, here's a simple rubric: the Sonos is a more outdoorsy speaker, and the Sony is more of a homebody.
