Decent sound. I would actually argue that the Bose sound link has better, higher sound than this. It was a bit finicky at first with connecting and took some time to get it properly set up. Again, the Bose sound link is very easy to connect and fast. I wish this came with that much ease as well. Still happy with the purchase. It was a gift but if I could do it over again, I probably would have opted for the sound link instead.

Very clear audio as expected from Sonos. Lightweight and portable for convenient use. Nice that it charges from any standard QI charger as we have them all over the house. Unit is a bit challenging to re-pair to various bluetooth units as the first must be un-paired via the device. Wish it had a battery life indicator on the unit rather than having to use it on wifi via the app to tell.

I'm pretty amazed to get the quality of sound from this device that we get. I bought it as a bathroom speaker, and even though we have a pretty large bathroom, the sound is still great, and would be for a much larger room, or even outside. Pretty straightforward to set up, although not the greatest integration with Google home, if you are looking for that. I think it prefers to play in its own ecosystem. That said, not an issue to me!

The moves sound a bit better than these at low volumes, but close on sound when these are set to higher volumes. Small and convenient.

Don't Buy - Battery Life Worst on the Market

The sound quality is decent, comparable to a UE Boom. But there is one ginormous flaw that is an absolute dealbreaker: the battery life is HORRIBLE. Worse than ANYTHING on the market. I bought two to put into my two showers in the house. Listened to a podcast on one for 15 minutes while getting ready yesterday and by this morning it was dead. And the other one in a shower that wasn't even used (!) was DEAD by the afternoon. My UE Booms hold their charge for WEEKS at a time in between uses. There is a serious design flaw with this speaker and it should ONLY be used for single-day trips to the beach or pool and literally nothing else.

The Roam is the ideal size to take on the go. I am a triathlete and running with with 2 kids under 2 years so one of my primary uses is to throw this in the stroller and crank up the music on our runs together. The sound quality is amazing given the size and durability of this speaker. This is now my go-to speaker for the beach, stroller runs, outside grilling and many other activities. One complaint I have so far is that it’s easy to kill the battery if you forget to turn it off. It would be nice if there was an auto-off feature after sitting idle for a period of time.

We have this little speaker plugged in all the time in our kitchen. It sounds super full, and the clarity of Sonos products is super awesome. We love that it connects via wifi so we can always access it. We haven't connected it to any smart home products, but we plan to in the future.

Sounds great for it's size. Connected it with my Sonos group at home with no problem. I have several rooms with Sonos Ones in them and I wanted something to bring into the garage or on the patio when I play music around the whole house. This is working well so far (only had it for 6 hours). I'm grilling outside while another Sonos speaker is playing in the dining room. It's not a blaring boom-box sound, but I don't want that. I want crisp music that integrates with my existing system.

Bought this for hosting Christmas, so I could play music for everyone. After awhile they asked me to shut it off as it was hard to hear people talk. But if I'm working on something in the house (when alone), it is nice to have this instead of using my headphones. Nice sound, works with my Amazon music account. But if I have another Amazon Alexa in the room, that is the one that speaks. I have to say "Play 'x' on Sonos" or it was just play on my Amazon Echo Show where the sound isn't great.

This speaker packs a lot of punch for its size. I have owned several small speakers and this one is feature rich and sounds clear
