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.

    The roam has become my new puppy, it doesn't leave my side, and its always on. I own a bunch of other Sonos and this is the clearly the smallest and most convenient without sacrificing any quality. The Bluetooth play works really well and also sounds great. I haven't tested the soundproof features yet but I am excited to start bringing it out to pool days.

    Really 4 ¾, almost 5. The sound quality is amazing for such a small speaker. Almost comparable to the Sonos One(s) that I have set up as a stereo pair. When the Roam is added in with the One(s), they all sound really great together. Only shortcoming I see is the battery. When the Roam sits idle for a few days (week) and I go to play something on the deck on the weekend, the battery has completely drained just from being idle. I would expect the battery to hold a charge, even when idle for several days? Or perhaps the Roam could send a notification that battery life less than 10%? Is that too much to expect? If you are after sound quality, which is the most important, you won’t be disappointed. Just keep the charger handy.

    Not Impressed

    While most of the other Sonos products are pretty good, this one fails to meet expectations. The first time i used it on a bike ride the volume shot down to zero and continues to exibit this problem. Also the power button sucks and is not easily manipulated. The sonos roam seems to always power up when charging as well even after powering off which is super annoying. You can't adjust the bass and treble on bluetooth either which sucks to. Sound is sub par for the price as well. I hope sonos is able to remedy these problems with software updates. For now I'm stuck with it unfortunately.

    Purchased for my father in law to use in his garage. Really nice that he can use Google assistant with it. If he is under the car and wants to change music or needs help, he can ask google. That feature alone is Worth the peace of mind and not to mention it's a great speaker

    Incredible and durable. It’s literally the best portable speaker. It looks premium, sounds premium and is actually durable. I dropped it already and all it has is a small knick. Didn’t affect the sound or anything. I use it in my garage, my backyard and on hikes. It’s simply the best.

    It has a good sound, however it keeps loosing connectivity with the wifi. I have called Sonis and they told me that it is because I have a 5G connection. It works better in the 2.4.

    Very impressive warm sounding small speaker that it much louder than one would expect!! Very durable product. My only “wish it had” comment would be a nylon type of strap of sorts so you can hang it on a something while outside vs having to set it on the ground or on top of a bucket while working. I’ve run this on full volume for +5hrs before battery dies.

    I have been using Sonos for a long time. I have speakers in my media room, bedroom, living room, everywhere. The seamless connection with this portable speaker blew my mind. Perfect integration into existing Sonos systems, great sound, good battery life, additional Bluetooth capability, light, and overall magnificent.

    The Sonos Roam is an excellent-sounding speaker, and it’s even better in a pair like I have! Just remember that it’s still a small speaker, so there is a limit on how much bass it can produce. For me, the fact that It can join a wifi network and work as an AirPlay speaker when I’m at home and become a Bluetooth speaker when I leave is the killer feature for me. Other observations: —You can only stereo pair on wifi, not on Bluetooth. (Though Sonos might be able to add this feature later, they haven’t promised it.) —Since a pair of Roams coats about the same as a Sonos Move, for the money I’d recommend the Roams if you prefer stereo separation or the Move if you prefer bass. People say the Move sounds like a Sonos One, and the Roam pair I have is great but still doesn’t stack up. —The wifi range is excellent, but on my Eero mesh network, the Roams don’t hop access points as fast as I’d like, If I take them from one end of the house to the other, they’ll often still be weakly connected to the faraway access point and the audio will cut out. It can be fixed by power cycling the speakers, but that’s still an annoyance.
