Pretentious and poorly executed
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker looks pretty and all that. However, the user interface on the app is horrible. And uh, the interface on the speaker itself was beyond frustrating. I could never get it to connect through the app and on top of that, the volume was disappointing. Gimmick. Next.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this speaker since September and it stop holding a charge and working 2 times! I contacted Sonos and they sent me another one and this one failed too. I'm very disappointed. I've purchased other speakers and they worked fine. I hope I can get my $$ back.

||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As a long-time Sonos fan with speakers in nearly every room of my house, I had high hopes for the Roam 2. Sadly, this product has proven to be the first time Sonos let me down—hard. Let’s start with the fact that my first Roam 2 flat-out didn’t work. Just dead on arrival. After the hassle of a return and replacement (not exactly the “portable convenience” they advertised), I was hoping round two would redeem itself. Spoiler: it didn’t. This speaker constantly disconnects from Bluetooth for no reason. It turns off randomly, even with a full battery—or at least what the battery says is full. That battery? It drains faster than my will to keep troubleshooting this overpriced paperweight. I'm talking about losing charge while it’s doing nothing. I’ve seen gas station Bluetooth speakers with more stamina. Sonos nailed the home audio experience, but with the Roam 2, they somehow managed to cram the soul of a temperamental toaster into a premium-priced speaker. It’s buggy, unreliable, and honestly just not worth the aggravation.

Poor Sonois App response
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speakers sound great on bluetooth, I purchased them for thier ability to operate in tandum off of the Sonos app, it has been a disaster with the app, Sonos is having problems and can't seem to fix them. There are other speaker options out there. I made a mistake.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us. While we are happy to hear that you’re enjoying the sound quality of the Roam 2 on Bluetooth, we are truly sorry that your experience with the Sonos app has been far from what you expected. It’s especially disappointing when you purchased the speakers specifically to take advantage of the features that allow them to work in tandem, only to have issues with the app disrupt that functionality.
We understand how frustrating it must be to deal with these challenges, and we apologize that we haven’t been able to resolve them to your satisfaction. Your experience is not what we want for our customers, and we appreciate you letting us know how this has impacted your trust in the brand.
We’re working diligently on addressing the app issues, and your feedback helps drive those improvements. If you’re open to it, our support team would be happy to help troubleshoot your setup and see if we can enhance your experience with the Roam 2. Reach out at support.sonos.com.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we sincerely hope we can regain your confidence in Sonos.

Posted .I’m sorry to hear about the trouble with your Roam 2. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:
**1. Power and Charging
Check Battery: Ensure the speaker is fully charged. Try charging it with a different USB-C cable and power source.
Reset the Speaker: Perform a factory reset. Instructions for this are usually available in the user manual or on Sonos’s support page.
**2. Connection Issues
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth: Ensure your Wi-Fi is working properly and that Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Try reconnecting the speaker through the Sonos app.
Sonos App: Make sure the Sonos app is updated to the latest version. Reinstalling the app might also help.
**3. Software Updates
Firmware: Check for any firmware updates in the Sonos app. Updates can sometimes fix connectivity issues.
**4. Support
Contact Sonos Support: If these steps don’t resolve the issue, reach out to Sonos customer support at support.sonos.com for further assistance. Provide details about the problem and the steps you've already taken.
If the problem persists, you might need to explore warranty or replacement options through Sonos or the retailer where you purchased the speaker.
I hope this solves for your concern!

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredibly disappointed that I paid for an open box item, in excellent condition and didn't receive that bbi received a Roam SL that was dirty and obviously not in good condition. When I returned it to the local Best Buy store, it was implied that I may have swapped the speaker out before returning it. That will be the last time I purchase an open box item from Best Buy!

Stay away
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I tried this after my HomePod died, but I had for three years. Sound was nowhere near as good. The app that you download to go with Sonos is horrible. Definitely going back to Apple.
