First off, the sound is GREAT! But it’s even more impressive that it produces such great sound given its size. Highly recommend.

The Sonos Roam Smart Portable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Speaker is a marvel. Its compact size packs a punch with clear, rich sound quality. The integration of Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant makes it incredibly convenient for hands-free control. The battery life is impressive, and its durable design is ideal for on-the-go use. A top-notch choice for anyone seeking a versatile, high-quality portable speaker.

One of the worst portable speakers I've ever owned. Maybe I have a defective one? List of pros and cons below, I wouldn't buy this again.
Cons: The bass is fuzzy. The battery life is incredibly bad. A couple hours of listening and it needs a recharge. By the way, trying to play music while it recharges from a low level is impossible. I also had a two-month period when the speaker would not charge or power on. It is also incredibly difficult to connect new bluetooth devices. I've had many small gatherings where people have given up trying to connect to play music. Even as I write, the darn thing is flashing a red light for the first time, which I've googled is a "fault condition." Geez this thing is horrible.
Pros: very portable and seemingly durable. It has Alexa

Sonos - Roam Portable Speaker

I have a full Sonos surround system for my home theater, and I LOVE it so when I was looking for portables, I knew who I wanted to go with. This piece made my 4 day road trip a breeze! It says to have a 10 hour battery life, and with it's automatic shutoff after no input, it lasted a solid 14 hours every day I used it with quite a bit of battery remaining. Good quality audio, and it fits in a water bottle holder! I want to buy a second soon to surround sound my car.

Intergrated easily into existing Sonos system. Sound great for it size with good low frequencies. Feel well built and easy to pickup and carry. Price is a little high or I would have given it 5 stars. Love the ability to switch music player or add to existing playback with A push of the playback button on roam.

A good but not great speaker. The value hear is the integration with the SONOS ecosystem. Works as it should, but some battery drain issues. Sound quality is good. Works well for outdoor music on the patio for a group of 4. Updates will sure to make it better and streaming over WiFi allows for HD audio.

I use a pair of these configured as stereo pair, used in a small working space. I like how much depth of stereo sound I get from devices with such a small footprint on my desk (one to each side of a largish computer monitor). The limitations are more due to being confined to the Sonos-sphere. Periodically I need to reestablish the pair to work in stereo, done through a smartphone app. The selection of content that can be played through the speakers is limited to applications (e.g., Spotify, Apple Music) known to the Sonos application, and the interface the Sonos application gives you to that source. I principally use Spotify and Apple Music as sources and through the Sonos application do not have the same flexibility in searching and selection as I do with those applications used natively. For example, using Apple Music directly on my computer I can select 'Browse' or 'Apple Radio' and from these play content on my computer speakers but not Sonos. The Sonos application's interface for Apple Music does not give access to either of these sources.

I'll preface this with the fact that when I first got it, there were definitely issues, namely insane battery drain even on standby. However, a recent firmware update has fixed it.
This is an amazing little speaker. The sound that comes from the little guy really is impressive considering the size. The addition of bluetooth capability, IP67 waterproofing (so I can listen in the shower) and wireless charging really make this Sonos' most versatile speaker yet!

Excellent sound quality and compact form factor. Then it just stopped holding a charge. Apparently a common issue with these models.

The sound is very high quality and far exceeded my expectations. It is also very light, and portable, yet sturdy and really well finished — it looks and feels like a high-end product. The only weaknesses are that a charge doesn’t last more than a few hours and Bluetooth connection is a bit finicky.
