Last year the Sonos Roam<\/a> arrived as a portable smart speaker option that not only provided quality sound you could take with you, but also access to assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It was initially<\/a> priced at $169, but Sonos cited the global chip shortage as a reason<\/a> for bumping the price up to $179 last fall. If you were interested in the product but want to save a few bucks, Sonos is now introducing the Roam SL, a mic-less version that costs $159, and mimics the similarly mic-less One SL<\/a> it released two years ago.<\/p>\n

According to the FAQ, losing the microphone doesn\u2019t just cut out support for either voice assistant. It also means no automated Trueplay sound tuning<\/a>, and living without the Sound Swap feature that lets you pass off audio from the Roam to a nearby Sonos speaker by holding down the play button.<\/p>\n
