The Sonos Roam is the company's second attempt at making a portable speaker. And it looks like it has learned from the Move to make it a viable option.

Sonos is reportedly launching its new Roam speaker during a March 9 virtual event. Ahead of the launch, we're learning about some of the portable speaker's advantages over other Sonos products. It will reportedly have a Sound Swap feature that will reportedly let you pass audio playing on the Roam to another nearby Sonos speaker. All you have to do is hold the play/pause button. Theoretically, that means it's much easier to transfer from one room to the other and have your music or other audio content follow you around the house.
Wednesday, September 30, 2020 at 8:05AM A day before Google's hardware event where the new Nest Audio might be launched, Sonos has filed another lawsuit against the search giant. The company claims Google infringed on five more patents, including patents that cover technologies some of Sonos' best-known features are based on (including the Trueplay tuning tool). This new lawsuit is more about modern wireless speaker system features, which seem to focus on smart speaker control (like setting the volume on a speaker from your phone).
Tuesday, August 18, 2020 at 9:27AM Panos Panay, Microsoft's chief product officer, has recently been appointed to Sonos' board of directors. Chairman Mike Volpi announced Panay's appointment as part of the premium audio hardware maker's board. He said in a press release, "Panay's comprehensive background in developing tightly-integrated hardware and software platforms, coupled with a track record of innovation in product design and development, makes him an exciting addition to the Sonos board."
As The Verge points out, the optics might be a bit weird from Panay's perspective. Microsoft seems to be in good standing with Google recently, with the company close to releasing a Microsoft-branded, Android 10-powered smartphone in the Surface Duo. Meanwhile, Google and Sonos are still in the midst of a legal battle over accusations that Google stole its smart speaker tech. Those issues aside, Panay will be bringing years of expertise when it comes to hardware to Sonos.
