I didn't get to try the dock, but I definitely like the idea of being able to just pick it up and go without messing with cords.

Like most Sonos speakers, Roam is primarily made up of a hard plastic with an intricately drilled front grill and rubberized caps on the top and bottom. I bring it all over the house, as well as out, on the few occasions I've been able to leave the house lately anyway. If Sonos wanted to make something that people could take anywhere without thinking about it, it succeeded. The speaker's just over 6 and 1/2 inches tall and weighs less than a pound. But I was still struck by just how tiny it feels. And that might make it enticing, especially if you already own other Sonos devices.
