New Sonos Roam SL portable speaker offers the essentials for RM1,099

The Sonos Roam that was released last year was a potent portable speaker with virtual assistant support. Its sibling, the Sonos Roam SL offers the same setup but skips the microphones to pare the price down to RM1,099.

Essentially, the Sonos Roam SL gets you the same awesome sound quality for RM100 less than the original Sonos Roam in exchange for ditching virtual assistants as well as a few perks that require the microphones.

There’s no automatic Trueplay sound tuning which lets the earlier Sonos Roam automatically tweak its audio for best effect and it also lacks the Sound Swap feature to transfer audio to a nearby Sonos speaker on demand.

That aside, the Sonos Roam SL retains the same IP67 water and dust resistance, has the same powerful speaker setup with a 16mm tweeter and woofer along with 10 hours of battery life. The Sonos Roam SL is also able to stereo pair with another Sonos Roam SL or another Sonos Roam via WiFi connectivity.
