Incidentally, it also fits perfectly in a backpack’s water bottle holster.

The Roam's soft-yet-grippy exterior feels good in your hand, as does the speaker’s balanced weight of just under a pound.
HUGE JBL SPEAKER UPDATE
Luckily, Sonos put out a firmware update designed to fix the issue in September (opening the Sonos amp should prompt the update).

At just 10 hours of playback time, its battery life is just OK, and we also noticed after using it over time that it tends to drain more quickly than average Bluetooth speakers when idling. When it comes to serious bass, it won't keep up with bigger sound tubes such as Ultimate Ears’ hefty Megaboom 3, nor does it have the same 360-degree sound field (though it's also a lot easier to take on the road). What's more, this model's True Volume feature helps it adjust the sound to its environment. Occasionally its sound gets a little heavy in the midrange, and its fidelity is best at about mid-volume (it loses some luster at low volume), but it's easy to adjust the EQ to taste. From the moment we pressed play on the Roam, we were simply blown away by not only how good it sounds, but how big. It offers warm and smooth sound with great detail and way more bass response than you’d expect from a six-inch tube. This not only offers improved sound quality, but it also lets the Roam double as a smart speaker for Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, as well as connecting to other Sonos speakers in a multi-room setup.Īs for sound quality, the Roam is an absolute ringer for its size and specs.

It works great on the go, no doubt, but unlike other speakers on this list, it also connects over Wi-Fi in addition to Bluetooth.

The new Sonos Roam is the most versatile portable speaker you can buy, full stop. These are the best Bluetooth speakers we tested, ranked in order: If that doesn't suit you (or it's too pricey), we've got a whole list of great picks at multiple price points, so you're sure to find something great. It offers great sound, a fetching design, and stuff most competitors don't, like Wi-Fi connection, smart speaker features, and Sonos' famed multi-room audio. And if you want the best portable Bluetooth speaker-for music or podcasts, from the beach to the backyard-we highly recommend the Sonos Roam ( available at Amazon). That's where portable Bluetooth speakers come in. But the trade-off is that your smartphone's speakers are majorly weak. Unless you're Zack Morris or Gordon Gecko, you wouldn't want a phone big enough to house good quality speakers. No matter how fancy your smartphone is, it just isn't big enough to have good speakers (and really, part of why you like it is how slim it is, right?). Again, thanks.If you're still putting your phone in a red Solo cup to amplify it, we've got some bad news: you're a little behind the times. It was nice to see that discussed with the perspective of your measuremets.
HUGE JBL SPEAKER DRIVER
Shady's measurements addressed the affects the asymmetric driver layout has. Most people I knew in the 1970s kept them on their sides. I've been told that JBL chose that strange layout deliberately, so owners could lie them on their sides or stand them vertically, without "significant" change in their sound.

The asymmetric layout of three drivers was done in the 1970s, but just shouldn't be done now that we know better. The other problem in the original L100 is repeated in the L100 Classic. It seems to work much better in that cabinet. So, I like the woofer that JBL uses in the L100 Classic. It helped sell a lot speakers, but it rang and muddied up the lower mid-range. There is an exaggerated peak in the range of 60-80 Hz. It's bass performance had a Qts well above 1.0, and it sounded like it. (See below) The original L100 cabinet was ported and much smaller, about 1.8 ft³. The JBL 123A 12" woofer was meant for a large sealed cabinet, between 3.9 and 5.9 ft³.

The old L100 speakers had a few problems that even a new crossover could not affect. All make for a big improvement over the 1970s L100s. Their new design uses three very different drivers than in the 1970s, and JBL does a much better crossover design. So, I was interested to see JBL's modern approach to their re-design of an old war horse.
