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.

    I really like these small speakers I have a Brennan CD setup and these were easy to setup via Bluetooth and add additional streaming apps like Apple Music and SXM music

    Great sound from a little speaker. Unfortunately, it’s often very, very difficult to reconnect to Bluetooth. A totally frustrating hassle.

    Excellent small speaker. Travel sized, great volume and integrates with my home Sonos network. Wireless charging - and works fine with my Apple MagSafe iPhone wireless charger. Highly recommended. One thing to note: doesn’t come with a case - I bought one from Amazon for $10.

    This speaker packs a surprisingly full sound. I primarily use it in my backyard and on trips. You won’t be disappointed. I also use it in the kitchen along with the Sonos Move. Another perfect match. The Bluetooth is very easy to connect as well as when I bring it back into the Sonos environment with wyfi.

    Compact and has great sound! The initial setup required my home WiFi connection which prevented me from using it immediately. Sounds great but at a high volumes you lose the bass.

    This is a great product to add to your sonos collection. Bass isn’t great, but that is what is expected for such a small speaker. Otherwise, sound is crisp and clear and best quality for this speaker category. If you have an existing sonos system, this will serve as a Bluetooth connection to your entire system.

    Purchased this premium product, as I have Sonos Beam, and was impressed with the sound signature Boy, I was wrong Out of the box, this product worked wonderfully for the first few weeks Initially, Bluetooth connectivity problem occurred. I was trying to live with them rebooting the speaker occasionally Now, it stopped charging all of a sudden. Tried with all kinds of cables and chargers. Ran out of the BestBuy return window. Sonos support is a pain in the neck and my credit card doesn't have an extended warranty All I have now is a $200 white useless brick Comparatively, my previous Bose Portable speaker lasted for 4 years before giving up

    Great product, sound is awesome, surprisingly adjusting from room to room. I need to figure out how to turn off. I attempt to turn off after use but days later when I’m ready to use the battery is drained and I have to charge first. Maybe user error but this product is the best sound I have heard in a while.

    Quality sound. Temperamental and doesn’t hold a charge when fully charged and powered off for a couple of days. Disappointed somewhat.

    Overall disappointed in this speaker. I experienced multiple connection issues when connected to WiFi and had to do a hard reset a handful of times. Sound quality was surprisingly average for being a Sonos product. Cheaper competitors for the same size and features (Bluetooth vs WiFi connection) offered a warmer and deeper sound. We did end up returning this product after about a week of issues.

    The only Sonos product I won't give 5 stars to because of the charging issues. You need to Roams in a stereo pair to sound decent.

    I already have several Sonos speakers with the S1 controller system and have been extremely satisfied. But Sonos has made it extremely difficult to add new items without purchasing all NEW speakers, etc. . This portable speaker, which I thought was really neat and would be convenient only to find out it is NOT compatible with the existing S1 system without disconnecting all the other system speakers, etc. I'm not about to spend well over $150 and dismantle all my other speakers. I had to return it. I know technology changes but Sonos products are not cheap and Sonos is not fair with its long time customers. I'll not buy SONOS anything again.
