Sonos is in the model Roam packed with a host of sound producers. Of course, there is a tweeter for high frequencies and a "woofer". But it's not about 360 degree design like some Bluetooth speakers, however Sonos he says this is intentional and that the Roam sends the sound in the direction where it makes the most sense.

Sonos also brings Trueplay autoplay to Roam, so it will select the audio output for the best results based on the room or environment the speaker is in. It does this by using built-in microphones, which are also there for hands-free voice commands Alexa and Google Assistant. An interesting feature is that you can play something from your phone with Bluetooth and Roam and spread it throughout the entire Sonos system for multi-room use. It is also supported Apple AirPlay 2 and so you can always play sound from many services via the Sonos mobile app.

Roam has another great trick called Sound Swap. Hold the play/pause button at the top for three seconds and Roam will transfer the music it's playing to any other Sonos speaker in your system.
