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.

    Absolutely wonderful. I like that you can plau direct from spotify over wifi and still have other sound come from your phone. Works well for when o watch youtube on my phone and have white noise on for my newborn. Only drawback is needing the app to set it up. Kind of a nuisance but the app isnt entirely useless.

    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.

    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.

    Great speaker, especially so if you have the Sonos ecosystem in your home. Not Super loud but the sound quality is unbeatable. The only issue, which is prevalent among many Bluetooth speakers, is at times it can be a pain to connect.

    Great compliment to my existing Sonos One pair. Great versatility and the wireless charging is very convenient. Wish it was a bit louder, but I’ll take the Sonia integration over the max volume.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    I’ve had several and still do own every amplified or connected product Sonos has made in 10 years. The Roam is convenient, lightweight, durable, and it’s familiarity in the Sonos app ecosystem are the absolute reason I chose it. But……and I do mean but…the kids to highs are fairly clean and realistic, and keep your expectations in check that the sound rolls off at the bottom end with barely mid-bass. Even heavily reliant on DSP and mics to continually calibrate it simply isn’t going to reproduce notes under 100hz. Period. Good all around sound but barely a representation of bass notes. Elsewhere it’s a good product and well executed usability/portability.
