Customers are saying
Customers admire the Roam Smart Portable Speaker's amazing sound quality, portability, and surprisingly big sound for its small size. Many appreciate its ease of setup and Bluetooth connectivity, along with its water resistance for use in various settings. However, some users point to inconsistent battery life and occasionally low volume as drawbacks. A few also mention challenges with charging and the power button.

Buy bose sound link mini ii instead
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have loved my other (larger) sonos speaker to death! I wanted one that fits easily in a side pouch on a backpack and sounds great. This is not it. At low volume it loses all the high end treble AND high volume it loses all the bass. The sound link mini ii from bose I’ve had for 8 years and sounds much better across the volume range for $20 more.

Sonos sounds with awful battery life
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the look and sound of this portable speaker. The battery life is short at best. Drains quickly making it less portable

NOT worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, there is no charger I attempted several phone chargers and after all night charging it only got to 38% I eventually would charge it with my laptop, Secondly it will NOT last 10hrs playing music at and average volume if im lucky it might last 6hrs so their advertising is not truthful I contacted SONOS and im still waiting for a response. Im returning it back to the store and purchase JBL.

Posted .Hi there. Here are a few tips to help preserve Roam's battery life: make sure you are powering down when not in use (hold power button full 5 seconds), disable any voice assistants when not plugged in, and ensure that you are charging with a 7.5W or higher charger. If you have tried these methods and are still experiencing issues, please reach out to our support team and they can help: support.sonos.com.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Awesome new Addition!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a fantastic addition to your Sonos audio collection. Easy to set up, easy to use and easy to integrate to a group of speakers already playing music. You can take this one wherever you go and have good music play anywhere!

No SiriusXM radio connection.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the sound quality. HATE not being able to connect to SirusXM. Tried all suggestions from Sonos help and online suggestions. My 2 Bose smart speakers and UE speaker all connect no issues. Not the Roam. Spent hours upon hours on this with no luck. Oh by the way, all other Alexa commands such as lights work fine..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Sonos brand worth the price?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have a $69 speaker and it was just as good as this $169 speaker. Little smaller than most speakers but you’re paying for the size factor and marketing.

Sonos- Roam
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome sound, the only complaint would be you have to have youtube premium to play music from youtube.
I would recommend this to a friend Don’t buy this item. There are better options.
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So disappointed. Don’t buy this item. There are better options. I like to take care of my things, this speaker suddenly stopped working.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSONOS Roam - my summertime favorite
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My favorite speaker for the most part. Easy to connect to, can use any music platform and good 10 hours on the battery. I use it primarily at the beach and it doesnt bring the sand home. Use to use The Move, but that was a lug to carry around.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat speaker! Not the best
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product. Not outstanding though for the price. I’ve heard better on Bose speakers. Only problem is I wanted to match my Sonos One speakers

hold off on this purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit doesnt hold a charge very long and is difficult to sync to the rest of my speakers
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great starter product for sonos
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works seamlessly with existing sonos systems, pairs with wifi fast. Wish bluetooth to wifi switching was easier.

NOT a good speaker for road warriors
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is 5 star quality and this would be a five star product if it worked half the time. The bluetooth functionality is mostly a lie. While it supports bluetooth, it has to connect to a wifi network first; not just any wifi network, YOUR wifi network. When it decides it needs to resync to wifi, you can’t use the bluetooth functionality until you reconnect it to YOUR wifi network, then switch it to bluetooth. So, basically, if you’re on the road a lot and can’t be home all the time to connect to your wifi network, the speaker is absolutely worthless. That’s why, even though I love the sound quality, I have to rate this a 1 star, because I can’t use it most of the time so there’s no sound to be heard. Manually switching it to Bluetooth makes no difference. When it decided it wants to reconnect, you HAVE to do it on your wifi network first.

Posted .Hi, and thank you for your review! We are very sorry you don't love your Roam. You are correct. The Roam does have to be synced to your wifi (Sonos system) first to do updates, after that you should be able to listen on bluetooth whenever you'd like. No "need" to be back on wifi. We would love to help make sure there's not problem with your Roam. If you go to sonos.com/support you can reach out whichever way you prefer.

Small speaker / Small battery life
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds great from what you’d expect from a Sonos product. It’s only downfall is it’s battery life.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great speaker but Bluetooth pairing is not easy
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. Use all over the place. My one negative comment is that pairing with phone via bluetooth is not very intuitive and the documentation is not very helpful. Once you get that work it's great. WiFi setup was very easy though.
I would recommend this to a friendGood Portable
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good portable, I expected more punch because I love sonos other products but by no means is this a knock on them.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat sound, but switch to BT is tedious
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is what you would expect from a Sonos. Battery life is excellent. It is a bit of a challenge to switch from Bluetooth to wifi and back
