Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great range and sound quality—sounds much larger than it actually is. Would buy again!

I read a lot of differing bits of information regarding the Roam and syncing with turntables and/or your entire Sonos system. I am here to tell you, it works!! Powerful and small little speaker for general use and portability. However, I bought mine to act as a wireless “bridge” between my turntable and the Sonos system I have in other parts of my home. I had read SO many articles saying you need to spend $500-$650 on a Sonos Amp or Sonos Port to accomplish this. Nope! I have a turntable with Bluetooth capability. If you do not, you will need an inexpensive Bluetooth converter, but I am writing this review for those turntables where this feature is built in (on most turntables today and not an expensive feature). Plug in your Roam and set it up to connect to your WiFi (simple instructions are included to do this). Once it is connected to WiFi, push the Bluetooth button on your turntable. Enable Bluetooth on the Roam (simple button to push and also included in instructions). Your turntable will connect. Now you can play all your turntable music through the Roam. If you go into the Sonos app and group the Roam with ANY of your other Sonos speakers, you can hear the turntable music through all those speakers! Simple! Keep in mind this will not work with any portable speaker that is only Bluetooth (since your Sonos system is on wifi) and Sonos requires Sonos speakers to group.

great sound for the small size and high quality product.

Perfect sounds and perfect size. Woikd definitely recommend to my friends, family

Excellent sound for a small area, very convenient to go from place to car to place. Simple updates.

Obviously, coming from sonos, this speaker sounds amazing for its’ size. Some issues with airplay and grouping to my current sonos system but software issues are usually resolved with an update. Price is a bit high, but you aren’t going to find another portable speaker so feature heavy and with premium sound in this compact size. Also, I just realized sonos spelled backwards is sonos.

The speakers are small, well made, portable, functional in how they can stood up or be placed on the side, and sound good for their size. Importantly, they're controlled with the app and mesh seamlessly with our other SONOS speakers in the house. We've used them inside, in the yard and taken them to the lake -- both wifi and bluetooth worked well. I would make the purchase again.

Perfect little addition with big sound to my Sonos home theater system. I was on the fence about purchasing it but thanks to the superior customer service and help I was on the fence about purchasing it but thanks to the superior customer service and help of the TV tech team at best buy. I am very happy I purchased this product. It is perfect for in the home or on the go. It connects easy and fast and I am very happy.

Great sound in a small size. Easy to add to Sonos system I already had set up.

What a power house in such a small device. Fills the room with clear sound and bass.

This is a great item and we love the portability and sound.

Easy to use, and set up. And can control the sound with a smart phone. Excellent sound!!

Excelent sound, nice battery life, light weight. 100% Recomended

I'm a Sonos fan. I've moved a lot and a few years ago after running speaker cables and HDMI cords all over, under, and around another new place I decided I'd had enough. I donated all of my old stereo equipment and dove fully into the Sonos experience. I haven't looked back. It all just works seamlessly, the app is great, and I don't have cord clutter or really have to think about it. I couldn't recommend Sonos as a whole more. Now 1 Beam for the TV and 4 Ones placed around the house, I decided to try out the new Roam. I bought it thinking I would give it a test try and return it if I didn't like it or think it was worth the price. Well, like all Sonos products you do probably pay a few dollars more. But to me it's worth it. The Roam has been great and it, like everything else with Sonos, just works flawlessly. I particularly love how it just automatically switches from bluetooth to wifi connection without freaking out. I've had 2 Klipsch bluetooth portable speakers for many years and the manual and noisy pairing method is just annoying. The Roam just works and sounds great in a smaller room. It's been great at the beach and at parks this summer. I couldn't be happier. I haven't bought the charging dock yet. I have a dedicated cord for it and have been able to consistently plug it in to keep it charged up.

Easy to use, long battery life, and great sound from a small portable speaker.

This solves a problem for me in that I needed a small WiFi speaker where the S1 won’t fit. It’s a success in that regard. As for portability, battery stinks as others point out. It’s not even good for an afternoon, however, that’s not a problem for me as i can plug it in my backyard, which was the second app for it. Sound is superior to my UE and low end Bose A lot of bass for a tiny device. The setup is a bit obtuse as the app points you to press something or put your near phone near some NFC component that doesn’t seem to exist. By Sonos standards, the setup needs a lot more qa, however, after three tries it worked and It’s been fine, so long as it’s powered. Very expensive for what it is and unclear if it’s an e-spy or will stop listening with no assistants enabled.

Great awesome sound in a small package.it’s very portable and looks nice as well.

Honestly I was pleasantly surprised by the sonos roam! It is my 2nd portable Bluetooth speaker and the sound quality that comes outta this thing just pumps! All the features work well! Set up is a breeze, Bluetooth is great! It is a little expensive but definitely holds up it’s worth! Highly recommend giving the sonos roam a try if you’re interested in a portable speaker!

Powerful little speaker. Battery life is not as good as I hoped it would be.

We originally bought this speaker as a portable speaker to take camping and on other trips. However, the battery life is so bad on it that its basically pointless to take anywhere. It legitimately feels like we only get MAYBE 2 or 3 hours out of it before it dies. So it is now a home (quasi) portable speaker that we keep plugged in wherever we take it throughout the house so it doesn't die on us. Sound quality wise its just like all other Sonos products (which I have both the Sonos Beam and 2 of the satellite speakers). It sounds great and gets pretty loud. I recommend it but I wouldn't really call it all that portable due to battery issues. (It also can be a pain in the butt to connect to sometimes)
