Review: Roberts R-Line S2 Wireless Stereo Multiroom Speaker

Your music. Rediscovered. Relived. Reloved.

Your music reflects who you are and can transport you to a time, a place, even a specific moment in your life. The first album you bought, the first band you saw play live, your first festival, the first last dance… “Music is the great uniter. An incredible force. Something that people who differ on everything and anything else can have in common.” ― Sarah Dessen, Just Listen.

Every song can tell a story, capture a moment and trigger memories. Music has the ability to tether our memories, as well as changing how we feel right now. So, what if you could evoke those memories and moments with all of your music at the touch of a fingertip, throughout your whole home? The R-Line range from Roberts offers this and more besides. Featuring soundbars, speakers, multiroom adaptors and base-stations, the R-Line range from Roberts gives you the flexibility to create the perfect system for your home. Because the R-Line range is completely modular, you can have just one individual speaker in one room or add additional speakers to configure a multiroom wireless streaming system. If you choose a multiroom set-up, you can still stream different music to individual speakers, or group them together to fill your home with your favourite tracks, playlists, podcasts or radio stations.

I was lucky enough to review the S2 speaker, from the Roberts R-Line range. Originally launched in the summer of 2016, the Roberts S2 is a wireless stereo multiroom speaker that takes Roberts into the premium end of the wireless speaker market. Awarded the Which? ‘Best Buy’ in August of last year, these S2 wireless speakers have got off to a flying start, with praise focussing on not just performance but also the quality and design.

Compact it may be, measuring in a little over 18cm (h) and under 30cm (w), but don’t let the size fool you into thinking it’s not going to measure up. Roberts haven’t just tuned this speaker, it’s been fine-tuned so that the balance is perfect; deep, rich bass resonates even in our largest room and the sound quality is so refined that you can equally appreciate the subtlety of quieter, delicate notes. No matter what you’re listening to, the S2 can handle every genre.

Roberts has clearly spent both time and effort in developing this speaker to ensure they meet the demands of music lovers who like to stream content, wirelessly. The advent of streaming, Spotify, Deezer and internet radio has all changed how we consume music and the S2 has all these features and so much more.

The S2 has built-in Spotify Connect and internet radio. Download and install the free UNDOK™ app to your iOS or Android device and you can easily set-up your R-Line components; select and control playback of your audio; control individual and multiple R-Line components and simply group and ungroup speakers to control exactly what’s played where.

To create a multiroom set-up, you can add more S2’s, S1, S300, or how about adding a Roberts soundbar and 2+ R-Line speakers in your living room to create a cinematic sound experience for your TV?! Two S2 speakers makes for a fantastic stereo pair.
