It’s been a long time coming, but Sonos’ first pair of wireless headphones are now in the hands of our tame audio expert.

Headphones aren’t the only new product Sonos rolled out today. The company also refreshed its cheapest portable speaker, the Roam. The Sonos Roam 2 has the same audio as its 2021 predecessor but adds more streamlined controls and a quicker setup. The $179 speaker is available today.
