So the Sonos Roam is here just in time for summer 2021… but like I mentioned in the full review with the Sonos roam you’re paying a premium cause of its smarts and not so much for its sound. Now like I said in the full review if you’re looking for a Bluetooth speaker and you’ve got a budget between $150 and $200 then I highly recommend that you just get the JBL Charge 5. With the Charge 5 you’re going to get much better sound and a much better battery life. But if you’re specifically looking for a small speaker like the Roam… then today we’re going to directly compere it to both the JBL Flip 5 and Sony XB23.
Marshall Emberton vs JBL Flip 5 Vs Sony XB23
I like the new Marshall emberton… now personally I do feel that the emberton is a little pricey for a 20 watt speaker but the emberton does have some standout characteristics when compared to the super popular JBL Flip 5 and the Sony XB23. So if you’re looking into getting a small portable speaker and you’re thinking about getting the emberton lets see how it stacks up to these.
Sony XB23 Vs JBL Flip 5 Vs UE Wonderboom 2
So the new Sony XB23 is a great sounding portable bluetooth speaker. But if you’re looking for a small speaker for the summer then the JBL Flip 5 and UE Wonderboom 2 are two great options as well. But all three of these speakers are pretty different from one another so depending on your needs one might be better than the other for you.
