Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great speaker. I have multiple Sonos products and have always been impressed with the quality. Therefore, I thought that having the flexibility of being able to pair it with other Sonos speakers I currently have at home and the ability to take it with me while traveling and use Bluetooth would be a great idea. I am very pleased with the purchase.

Been working well for 2 years since the purchase was made. Sound quality works amazing. You can make it vertical or horizontal depending on how you want it to work. Portable makes it even better for the experience

Awesome sound; portable; works with WIFI and Bluetooth

While it clearly sounds like a small portable speaker it can deftly fill up a small room or area better than an other speaker of its size I've heard. It has plenty of power, though it's a little weak on the bass side. Keep in mind this is a mono speaker. If you want stereo you'll need two. If you have two you can sync them together. I was hesitant to buy because of the price, but it's hard to find an inexpensive Airplay 2 speaker, so I bit. No regrets a month later. You can get bluetooth-only portable speakers for about 2/3rds less but, at least indoors, they won't sound as good as the Roam does, so priorities, I guess. On WiFi the speaker works with other Sonos speakers or Apple's Airplay 2. It can also stream from Bluetooth sources. The Sonos App is easy to use and is compatilbe with most major streaming services. I can't comment on battery life as I mostly have it plugged it, though Sonos says to expect about 10 hours. It comes with a USB-C cable, but you'll have to supply your own power adapter. You can also charge it with a basic Qi wireless pad -- no need to buy Sonos' stylish matching, but expensive one.

I have 2 of these as my rear speakers, teamed up with a sound bar and they complete the surround sound I wanted. These guys produce good sound. Def worth the purchase. I keep them permanently plugged in because the battery doesn’t last more than a day

I've been looking at a portable smart speaker that can connect to WiFi as well. There's few portable speakers that also work as smart devices, and this is a great speaker. Surprisingly loud and easy to use. Bluetooth is obviously available too if need be. Overall, highly recommend if you're looking for a small yet loud speaker.

Overall, very pleased with the speaker so far but it isn't perfect by any means. The sound is pretty impressive for such a small device; however, it is a bit bass heavy but I get that you do that for times it is going to be outside. The overall sound is very warm. The features are great, having both WIFI and Bluetooth as options and each have worked great. Now the issue, this thing won't stay asleep even after being put in sleep mode. At this time I am having to turn off the device when not in use otherwise you will tear through the battery very quickly. Not a huge thing but also not something you should be having to do all the time.

The Sonos Roam is the best Music and Alexa travel companion. We were always missing playing good sounding music and engaging with Alexa while we were traveling and staying in a hotel. The Sonos Roam does it all and conveniently fits in an overnight bag.

The battery life on the Sonos speaker does not last as long as I was hoping it would. For that reason, I would test out other speakers. Other than that great volume and bass.

This item works into the Sonos system, and I use it everyday. It is water and stain resistant, and supposedly has smart charging circuitry to combat battery degradation. I am very please with the sound also. Full sound even though it is small.

Good Bluetooth/Wi-Fi speaker. Could use a little more bass but it still sounds great. Easy to sync into your Sonos system. Wish the charging base was included like it is for the Move.

I like the portability of the speaker. The battery life could be better. But mostly I’m gonna keep it in the bathroom plugged in. I definitely like that you can group the Sonos speakers with the sound bar while you’re watching the game throughout the house. 

Hands down the best portable speaker. Sounds awesome across all frequencies. bass is not overpowering letting the med and higher ranges shine through. And best of all it’s WiFi!!!, you don’t have to deal w all the limitations of Bluetooth

Overall, it’s a very good speaker bought it for the beach. It did great on vacation. The only downside is that you need Internet and the Sonos ecosystem to connect it and go through all the set up Process. Just make sure all of your Sonos are on the same Wi-Fi network. 

Used this a few times now (some indoor and some outdoor). The speaker is small and fairly light and so it's super easy to carry around and to take anywhere. The sound quality is very impressive for its size and does an amazing job of adjusting its acoustics to your surroundings. The speaker setup is super easy (especially if you're already a part of the Sonos ecosystem) and pairing the speaker to Bluetooth is fairly easy. The only issue is that it's not that powerful and so for a large outdoor area, the Roam will only cover a modest area with sound (e.g., used the Roam at a hot tub in a general hotel pool area, and the Roam covered the hot tub area but not much farther than that, which worked for us, but if you're looking for something more, then you'll need to get a 2nd Roam or a different speaker). Indoors, the Roam should do well enough in a small bedroom or bathroom. I'm trying careful to not drop or scratch it, so no comment on its durability.

Great little speaker. Sterling performance in a compact package. Full charge lasts a day on the beach or by the pool. Easy and light enough to pack for a vacation. Sonos software isn't glitchy and works like a champ. Like it enough to buy another today to pair up for stereo sound by the pool.

Great speaker! Sound is great! Perfect size. Set up was a breeze! The only thing is the charging. I had to order a specific adapter because my phone adapter wouldn’t charge it. So keep that In mind when u buy. They make a charging pad but it was back ordered for 2 months

Great Product and sound for its size. In comparison to similar sized products in the same price range (e.g., Bose) the sound top notch - rich but not boomy, with clear vocals that never got tinny. We used it right away in a fair-sized room (~450 sq ft) and it filled the space nicely without being driven too hard.

Loving this speaker . Been taking it out to the pool . Nice to be able to ask Alexa the time & also turn volume up or down. Love the hands free. Also is working great with my other Sonos speakers. Such great sound for such a small speaker . Quality speaker with decent bass.

Love this thing! As soon as the pre-order was made available I had to get it. At first it was based on the branding and I’ve since switched over from Bose and Apple speaker products to all Sonos within the past year. For something this size it’s perfect for mobilization to and from wherever I need to go for work and play. I used to have a Marshall Emberton and that too was an amazing speaker for a bit less than this Sonos. If I didn’t switch everything over to Sonos I definitely would have kept that Emberton as it did have more bass than this Sonos. However, the clarity in the Sonos is better overall. I have the Sonos Move also and as much as I love that thing it was just too heavy and awkward to travel with (which is why I bought the Emberton). I’m very happy with the Sonos Roam as it not only completes my audio ecosystem’s brand, but because it does sound really good for something so or portably small.
