    Sonos speaker are expensive but the sound quality that you get is well worth the money. I’m not an audiophile but you can tell the difference between this speaker and a cheap one. For such a small speaker you can fill a medium size room with sound

    I love the fact that I can now connect this via Bluetooth and of course to my other Sonos products on the network. The sound is clear, loud and it lasts for 8+ hours of consistent music.

    Sounds Great for such a small speaker. And its the perfect size to pack and take on vacation or to the beach. Pairs perfect with my other Sonos speakers so in the garage or shower I can listen to music.

    Love this speaker. I was looking for something i could listen to in the shower. You can literally hold this speaker under the water, shake it out and it keeps right on playing. Liked it so well that I bought a second one, which let's you pair them in stereo mode for even better sound quality! You can also remove stereo mode and steam the same (or different) song to both. Perfect for having one speaker outside while grilling out and another indoors so you have sound throughout. I love the 2 sonos Roam speakers and will definitely be adding several of their other speakers for surround sound as well.

    For the size, Great sound! It gets plenty loud for smaller spaces. Set up took some time. Just wanted to pair and go, but you have to download the app and then set up things through wifi. It's not hard just time consuming.

    SONOS Roam SL and SONOS ERA 100

    The sound and the concept are great. We have the SONOS Roam SL and the SONOS ERA 100. My part time problem with it is being able to group the rooms. It says you must use the SONOS 1 app, and links you to that, which is out of date now. So change the auto-link to SONOS 2! Not a huge thing, but a pain sometimes. The sound is great but the software people need to actually use the product and iron out these weird kinks so it can be a smooth system. This is the ONLY reason I am hesitant to buy more of their product for the house.

    The only Sonos product I've come across that didn't really "wow" me. It works well but the single connection button isn't very intuitive. Once you learn to use it it's not hard to use. SOund quality is decent but again - no wow factor here.

    Always liked Sonos but never got around to buying so looking around to buy a speaker one day and I decided to play around with all the speakers in the store and finally came around the Sonos section and off the first song sound filled the store with such bass and clarity from a small form factor no bigger a bottle of water and from that moment I was sold and never looked back

    We wanted a second portable Sonos speaker for travel and the pool but did not necessarily need features like smart assistant or true tuning. This speaker still packs a punch and has the same great sound as other models without some of those bells and whistles. With a slightly lower price tag its a great option to just toss in a bag and take on the road but will still sync up with the rest of your Sonos speakers when you’re at home.

    The battery life is great. It says 10 hours but it has lasted longer on a single charge. The sound is great as expected with Sonos. Better than the Roam (set up) via Bluetooth.

    It's a great speaker, for the price. It only has mid and tweeter though. I bought 2 of them, and returned them. The only reason I returned them was because I bought 2 of them. For the price of 2 Roams, I would rather have a Move. That's exactly what I did. Plus the timing was great. 25% off the Move!! Overall, Sonos is never a bad choice. You will like any products they have.

    Love my Sonos speakers - I have several types. The Roam is a nice addition to my setup. I have 2 paired for stereo sound. My only complaint is they lose connectivity to WiFi from time to time requiring me to do complete resets to add them back into my system. Kind of annoying. I don’t know if this issue is with the speakers or my WiFi system. Sound is great for their size.
