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.

    Only have this on hand one day. The sound quality is pretty good based on its portable size. Easy to group and set up a pair of stereo mode with two roams. Would definitely recommend this Sonos Roam. It is pity that it cannot have Stereo Mode when connecting with Bluetooth. Not cheap by the way, and especially get two.

    I’ve had this for a few weeks now, not very happy with the connectivity, it random drops the connection (bluetooth & wi-fi) every other time I use it. It sometimes drops bluetooth connection when my phone is sitting less than a foot away from the speaker. Other than connectivty issues, this speaker sounds great for it’s size.

    I like Sonos products very much, and this speaker is a welcome addition. It has great features and is super portable. My only complaint is that it wasn't loud enough for my space outside. I wanted a speaker that would fill my backyard, so I opted for the Sonos Move instead. For what this speaker is (ultra portable, excellent sound, good battery life) I think it is a great buy that fits seamlessly in with a Sonos home system or on its own.

    When it worked, it worked great! Great full sound and great Bluetooth range. After about a month, it would no longer charge or turn on. I tried several different charging blocks and outlets. Tried all of the different resets I could find and still nothing. Pretty expensive for a 1 month use speaker.

    I wanted something a little more portable than the move but still integrated into the Sonos ecosystem. I wasn’t sure how good this would sound based on the size. It sounds really good. We use it a lot for showers and extending the sound in the backyard with the move. It has more bass than I was expecting but obviously the move buts it to shame in that respect. As it should. It’s perfect for listening to low level music after the kids go to bed.

    Very easy to use. Pairs with bluetooth as easily as it does with my Sonos system. Very nice sound for a small speaker. Not as deep a sound as the larger speakers but totally portable.

    Love this speaker. We take it everywhere. Be sure to set it up on Bluetooth before taking it any where, it’s a nightmare if you don’t.

    Love Sonos products, but this one leaves a little to be desired considering it's high price relative to other more robust speakers available for much less cost.

    Great portable sound machine with Alexa. This is my grilling companion to play music and set my timers. At the beach and pool this device comes along to help bring the style of music we like!

    Great speaker on the go. As a solo speaker very impressive. Once pair via wifi (only way to pair two of these right now) they become an imersive experience.

    Excellent sound! Can play from a Bluetooth connection for time outside your home wifi. Or, add to existing or set as a stand-alone speaker on your Sonos wifi grid. Gave as gift to my Dad who is technologically challenged and he loves it. This comes with a 6 month itunes unlimited streaming subscription that has just about any tune you can think of and puts him in music memory heaven! He loves this gift!

    I've owned several different portable speakers and the Sonos Roam beats them all. The sound is amazing. I was hesitant due to the cost but I'm pretty much all in on Sonos at this point.

    Can’t go wrong with Sonos for AirPlay integration. Clear sound. Open box discount makes it an even sweeter deal!
