    I ordered one of these open box and it didn’t work. Had to return. I have one from a previous order and it’s fair as long as it stays home, which defeats the purpose. The newer model (roam 2) is so much better in every way.

      Posted .

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m sorry to hear that the open-box Roam SL you ordered didn’t work, and that you had to go through the hassle of returning it. That’s certainly not the experience we want for our customers, and I apologize for the inconvenience this caused.

      It’s great to hear that you’ve had some success with your previous Roam SL, but I understand how limiting it can feel if it only performs well at home. The Roam series is designed to be portable, and if it’s not meeting that need, it’s understandably frustrating.

      I’m glad to hear that the Roam 2 has been a better experience for you. We’re always looking to improve our products, and your feedback reinforces the positive changes made with the newer model.

      Thank you again for your comments, and if there’s anything else we can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. john.milton

    The Key to using a Legacy Sonos system

    I have 8 sonos speakers about 6 years old and rather than trading them in I bought the Sonos Roam SL. Using that, it gave me full access to my older speakers using Airplay and Voice command. It upgraded the system completely.

    App update made this a brick

    I was excited to add this portable speaker to my Sonos system. However, Sonos pushed out a re-design of the app in spring of 2024. This new app lost a lot of the features the old app had, including the ability to set up a new Roam speaker. They have a timeline for returning a lot of features over the next few weeks and months, but right now very little news about workarounds to be able to add a new speaker to your system or how long until it will be possible. So, unless you feel like waiting a few months to be able to use this speaker, or you want to find a way to download and install the old version of the app, don't buy this speaker - I couldn't find a way to make it work with the new app, just circles of "you need to update" and "there was an error with the update, contact support". (Support wait times have been hours because of how broken this new app is) Unless I already had sonos speakers, I would have returned this. As is, I was able to find and download the old version of the app and after multiple tries, could update and register my new Roam to the system.
