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.

    Great sounding portable speak. Two biggest drawbacks are the battery life and having to use Sonos software.

    I love the Sonos products and have about a dozen. I am still disgusted by decision to change app and was forced to separate system between “old” and “new” tech. I don’t trust them to not do that again in future to make more money so I’d likely switch to something else if they catch up. This speaker broke about five months after getting it. Just stopped turning on. Was replaced by company with relatively simple process. But that’s not acceptable from an established company or “high end” speaker.

    Great little product to take music on the go. We have used this camping, tailgating, and while golfing on a regular basis. The battery life is surprisingly long even at higher volumes. Sound is good and seems very durable.

    Great sound quality for a small portable speaker and it fits right in with my other Sonos speakers. Definitely would recommend to anyone who has a Sonos setup in their home and wants to expand outdoors.

    The sound is the best. We bought the Roam a few days before we saw the different colors. We already have a Sonos system in our house. Weather permitting we sit on the patio and listen to the fabulous sound.

    definitely a good speaker and really does fit if you have a whole system or plan for it stay somewhere but I wanted this for a good party and god forbid someone else wanted to connect having to download the app. I work at Geeksquad so I’m definitely tech savvy but with the pressure of a party this kinda killed the mood although sound, feel, and quaility was suppers

    Great portable speaker for the price and easily links up to Sonos app. Just not sure if it only plays with the app. Good sound overall.

    Absolutely love this speaker. Its great paired with a SONOS set up. I can use in the front yard walk in the house and still be playing the same tunes. Neighbors have all mentioned the quality sound coming from such a small speaker. 10/10

    It's very decent. Crisp clear sound and decent battery life and I love the way it can seamlessly work with my "Sonos-phere"

    Better portable speakers with full range sound

    Sound quality is good except at higher volumes. Anyone who says the bass/mid bass is surprising for its size is sadly mistaken. Plenty of other portable speakers with a more full range sound. I returned this the day I bought it. Although the audio quality is superb at 3/4 and under volume. It didn’t do what I needed at all. It definitely is not comparable to the Sonos one. I bought the move instead... night and day.

    This was an addition to our two Sonos speakers and we couldn’t be more pleased. Big, clear sound comes from this tiny powerhouse. We are very happy with it! You just can’t go wrong with Sonos!

    This is a great speaker for portability. It is easy to sync. The sound is very full and doesn't seem like it's coming from sych a small speaker. It was easy to connect it to the Sonos system in our house.

    For a Sonos speaker and the price, I was extremely disappointed with the quality. Does not pair well with my iPhone, the app is very difficult to navigate, and the audio was the most disappointing part. It gets relatively loud for its size and the clarity is crisp. My issue is with the lack of range and depth with the audio. At higher volumes it becomes very tinny and too vocal focused. Ended up returning it.

    Takes a bit to set up initial. Need to have wifi and sonos app to get it started. Using it for work via Bluetooth and sound really good. At home it connects to home sonos. Good addition to sonos speaker.
