False advertising & orange light of death
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a huge FedEx fiasco... this finally arrived... DEAD. Orange light of death as other reviewers are saying. Also, they said it supports Bluetooth... it doesn't without Wi-Fi. What's the point of supporting Bluetooth if you need Wi-Fi at all?

Powerful speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this Sonos Roam SL Portable Speaker. It is a powerful speaker for its size and provides a very clear sound when playing it. I love that it fits in purse, glove compartment in my car, the compartment on my atv and suitcase because i can take it wherever i go to use it. We live using it while we are atv riding because its the perfect size and easy to bring along with us to listen to some good music. It is easy to use and easy to connect to our devices. I love how it comes with a little dust bag so that i can keep it in when we arent using it to protect it from scratches. This bluetooth speaker only works with the app and iphone, ipad, and apple pods so if you have an android this will not work for you. The app and bluetooth speaker are easy to set up and work with. Overall this is a great speaker for on the go or even hanging out outside at home that has great sound that you can hear clearly without static or any other noises. It has 3 buttons on the side for play and pause and to put your sound lower or higher.

Great speaker - poor app
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've owned a lot of bluetooth speakers throughout the years. Pound-for-pound, this Sonos speaker has the best quality of any speaker I've ever owned. The design is elegant and the wireless charging unit is simple and unobtrusive. Pairing the unit to my phone was easy. My biggest issue with Sonos is not with the quality of this speaker but how (and why) they force customers to use the Sonos app to play music/audio through the device. I want to be able to use my iTunes app to find music, play music, change music, get information about the artist and much more. I don't want to use the Sonos app to control my music. The Sonos app and user experience is poor compared to the iTunes app and interface. Why does Sonos think their app should stand between their speaker customers and the preferred music provider of their choice. They make a great speaker but they don't make a good app. In speaking to other Sonos owners, they all have the same issue. I believe Sonos should rethink how they force their customers to use their app. To be clear, this is a great speaker and if you don't have a problem using the Sonos app to control your music, I highly recommend this speaker.

Not able to connect/use with Sonos app
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not able to connect/use with Sonos app after speaker (firmware/software) update and Sonoa app (forced) update.

Posted .It sounds frustrating to experience connectivity issues with your Roam SL speaker after updates. Since these problems arose after both the speaker firmware/software update and the Sonos app update, it's likely a compatibility issue between the two. Here are a few steps you could consider:
Restart and Reconnect: Try restarting both your Roam SL speaker and the device running the Sonos app. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary connectivity issues.
Update Everything: Ensure that both the Roam SL speaker and the Sonos app are updated to their latest versions. This can sometimes resolve compatibility issues introduced by previous updates.
Contact Sonos Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Sonos customer support. They can provide specific troubleshooting steps or let you know if there are ongoing issues with the app that may affect connectivity with your speaker.
Since you mentioned being on the phone with Sonos support for an extended period without success, it might also be helpful to follow up with them to see if there have been any new developments or workarounds since your last contact.
