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.

    Stopped connecting to our Sonos system fairly quickly and can't seem to get it reset. It takes too much time to keep trying. Maybe it was just a lemon. It also was less loud than the Sonos One. We got it to use by the pool, but it just doesn't do the job. We use a Sonos One instead.

    Not a bad product for on the go. Above average sound and is compatible with your pre existing Sonos systems and Sonos app. You will need a beefy power adapter for your electrical outlet. Comes with power cord only. Without a decent power adapter it will charge very slowly.

    Overall happy with the sound quality. The issue we have had is dropping out. Twice the unit dropped out and I had to factory reset the unit to reconnect it to my WiFi system. A update came through right after the second reset and it has not dropped since.

    I love Sonos. This is my 3rd Sonos speaker (I own and love the Move and Beam), but sadly this one doesn’t quite measure up to their usual standards. The battery life is not good. For some reason the speaker is programmed to always be in standby mode, so if you charge your speaker earlier in the week (getting ready for the weekend), the battery will be dead by Friday because it never really turns off. It never seems to be fully charged when I need it. I find myself getting angry at this speaker more often than loving it.

      Hi, and thank you for taking the time to write this review. The speaker is programmed to go in standby mode which will turn it on if you interact with the app so it's easier to listen to. The downside to that is the battery life is drained faster. We recommend power it completely off by holding the power button down for about 5 seconds. This will total shut the power. You'll also want to make sure that you are charging it with a minimum 7w power brick. Anything less will not charge it properly. john.milton

    My first experience with Sonos products after years of supporting Bose. I bought several for areas of my yard, deck & firepit. Love the connection features (WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplay), weather resistance and speaker grouping capabilities. It offers a nice range of sound quality for the price. Only complaint would be lack of Chromecast support which would allow me to integrate & control the outdoor Sonos speakers along with my other indoor Google & Nest speakers.

    Nice little speaker for around the yard and garage. I've not even used the Bluetooth option. The main idea is that this was a small mobile speaker on property within WiFi range so I could stay within the Sonos ecosystem. I considered the larger Move, but this is just fine for my needs and very easy to just move around with me as I go without having to crank the volume and irritate my neighbors.
