Wanted to add a flexible, outdoor capability to my Sonos home system. The sale on this first generation Roam is a good fit. Good sound, battery life and nice size easy to sit anywhere. Like flexibility of WiFi hook into my home system or use standalone with Bluetooth. App works well for selecting my music source, music choice and speakers I wish to play through. Very happy and highly recommend. NOTE: I had an initial problem with WiFi and registration of this speaker. There is a lot of discussion online about the problem. As I was working through whether to return it, an update became available from Sonos. I performed the update and the speaker works flawlessly on WiFi and registering it was no problem.

Really like it as a small portable option to have some music with you at all times. Easy to set up and add to your Sonos ecosystem if you're looking for that. Sound is pretty good for what it is. Connecting through Bluetooth works well. If you want something with amazing base or to play really loud music this might not be for you. It does a good job for what it is and trying to accomplish.

great rich sound, size, appearance, easy to use. wish it could handle bass a bit better, especially at higher volumes but understand limitations based on the size of the speaker. otherwise, 5 stars. The app was not easy to use, struggled to setup up the speaker on the app. prefer not to use the app.

We love this product so much, that we have purchased 4 of them in total. Our 13 and 18 year both got one for Christmas- it was probably their favorite gift. It’s portability- long battery life and phenomsl sound make this a great speaker. We don’t have any complaints.

The battery life, sound quality, and volume on this speaker are unlike any others of similar size and price that I have had. My only small gripe is getting the short vs long press down on the power button, which is a bit of a learning curve due to the very slight difference between the two.

I have several other Sonos products. This provides the same great sound quality as the others with some improvements in set up and pairing. The battery life is good for most of a day. The only down side I have found is the sound level "power" is not as great as as the other Sonos, so it needs turned up a little more. This will not fill a yard with aound like the more powerfull move. It is great for tossing in a backpack or where space is limited. Set-up is easy with the app or bluetooth.

My Mom loves it. She’s been into Sonos for a few years now, but has always wanted something portable. Now she can carry this easy but powerful unit out with her to the garden when she’s working or having a picnic. No battery issues and the Bluetooth is great to hook up in other places without the Wi-Fi.

The speaker is great!!!! The app is frustrating! The app would not add my Sonos Roam SL. Although it would recognize the speaker, it would not add to my system. I learned that the updated app had glitches and would not add my speaker. Tech support was very poor, after waiting 55 minutes, I was told to wait for the next update. The tech could not provide me with a timeline for the next update. He told me to go on their website. I made two calls to support and both were useless. I knew their script better than they did. I waited two weeks before I decided to return the speaker and the app finally added my Sonos Roam SL and I've been in music heaven with a pair of them.

The Roam SL is very easy to set up and use. It is convenient to pick up and take from room to room. It has a high-quality sound and the battery lasts a good amount of time.

You might be new to sonos, or are looking to add a flex to take outside or with you. It’s perfect for either of those things and more! It slots into any nook you can think of for stealth but awesome source of sound. Easy to grab and go for roadtrips or picnics at the park. I have it nearby for a bluetooth and airplay enabled TV, great late nights if you don’t want to wake up the kids or guests; allows you to have the sound right next to you and not bother others. If you have a beam or other sonos soundbar, say on the TV playing a sports game; you quickly grab this Roam press and hold the main button and mirror the sound of the game outside; perfect for the grill master to stay tuned to both games. Just get it!

I bought this speaker so my softball team can listen to music in the dugout. Its small, portable and loud. So much power from such a small speaker! It also adds to my listening experience at home when added to my sonos home theatre. I highly recommend this to anyone!

Roam SL is used as a single speaker with phone/pad to listen to music. Set up was a bit difficult. I called Sonos support. They were helpful and quickly resolved the problem (speaker was open box and had not been returned to factory set up). Sound is excellent for music a bit bassy for voice. I had been concerned that the speaker would not work, due to all the problems with the with the S2 app. Speaker set up was early October, 2024. There have been no issues with the app, in this basic configuration

I am heavily invested in the Sonos ecosystem, so buying a Roam speaker made sense. However, I believe you can get a comparable speaker at a lesser cost, minus the convenience of the Sonos app platform. I bought this Roam SL to replace a Roam, as I am attempting to get rid of microphones that don't really make sense to me. I don't feel like a portable speaker needs voice commands or to be able to tune itself, especially if you have a phone, tablet, or wearable device with you 99.9% of the time, but there was no Roam SL when I originally bought the Roam. This speaker currently sits in my wife's office, where she can stream directly to it via the Sonos app or Airplay, or connect via Bluetooth if she wants to listen to something from her laptop. Switching between wifi for Sonos/Airplay and Bluetooth is as easy as tapping a button. We have the wireless charging base, which is also super convenient. When we travel with it, it takes a USB-C cord, so no real need to carry the charging base around. I will eventually get my wife an Era 100, and probably move the Roam SL to the bathroom, but for now, it is working well for what we are doing with it. Only real gripe is that at this price point, they could throw in a carrying case of some sort, even if it was just a soft drawstring bag.

I bought this because in the store it sounded fantastic. I think they must’ve had it on an amplifier or something. The sound is just OK and it doesn’t get very loud. I do love the look and shape of the speaker, it’s very easy to tote around because it’s design to fit in the fold of your hand. The Sonos app is a pain in the butt, it leaves off half of my music. There are much better sounding speakers out there, this is strictly for aesthetics and how small and light it is. I do like that it can play over Wi-Fi which means you can use your phone for whatever you need to use your phone for and music will still play. That’s a nice feature. If sound is your main concerned, this is not the speaker for you, upgrade to the Sonos move, ultimate ears hyper boom, or jbl charge 5.

I'm very happy with my Sonos Roam SL purchase! It's great as a portable speaker for music streaming from my PC as well as my smartphone, I also bought it with the intent to use it as a laptop speaker since most laptop speakers have a lot to be desired. This speaker serves both purposes very well! The Roam was simple to setup and the only setting change I made was to auto-disconnect from Bluetooth when not used for a period of time. While I only have one Roam rather than a duo stereo setup, the sound quality is very good including voice clarity. To-date, I've found that a full battery charge lasts a long time.
