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.

    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.

    This little speaker packs such nice sound in a small body! For the price and size I’m very impressed but that being said the sound is decent and not that of the Sonos one. I would say it’s closer what you would get out of a HomePod mini. I got this as it has wifi and works well with other Sonos speakers and homekit/airplay 2! I use this in my back yard a lot and have no connectivity issues with wifi, and if I did well easy enough I can switch to Bluetooth! I usually play in many speakers at once which is why the airplay 2 is important an I have no issues on that front. Only complaint is the short battery life, but It’s easy enough to throw on a wireless charger!

    The sound is great. It is very light weight and wonderful to take any where. I gave it 3 stars because it requires that you plug it into your computer to fully charge it. I originally plugged it into a regular outlet the way I do my iPhone and iPad and it sent me a notice that it wasn’t fully charging. It told me to plug it into my computer for a full charge and I did and it charged just right. What if you don’t have a computer handy to charge it? I think it’s impractical.

    The sound quality is quite good but sometimes I have trouble with connection. Turning it on and off can be somewhat troublesome as the difference between connecting and on/off is small.

    Good sound, much more portable than my Sonos Move, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capable, water resistance. Also, it’s able to connect with Sonos Move via wifi. **needs more bass.

    Love, love, love this portable speaker. Highly recommend the wireless charging base to make it easier to charge it. Just a great product and sounds larger than it looks. I've received a lot of compliments. Water resistant is a bonus for those that accidently leave the speaker outside overnight.

    Overall: the sound is great and it's awesome for travel, but I wish the battery lasted longer and that it was easier to switch between devices using bluetooth. I like that it uses usb-c to charge, but it's not much of a *roam* if I have to leave it plugged in. I bought this because I wanted an additional Sonos speaker (I have a few of the early Sonos speakers and they have worked flawlessly for years) but wasn't sure if I wanted to splurge yet on the newer version. Plus, I wanted something to play directly from Apple Music since I find it annoying on the Sonos app. 4.5 stars.

    Sounds great but not perfect

    Its a little more complex than a bluetooth speaker which is good and bad. Solidly built and hefty. It's my first Sonos so connectivity took awhile to figure out with the app but once I got it all figured out, it sounds great. Their tech support is helpful but had some snags with them. I love the alarm feature, it will open and play spotify through your phone so i use it as an alarm clock but standby mode will drain the battery in 2-3 days. It chargers on a wireless 5v qi charger just very slow. Probably 4-6 hrs. Sonos sells one specifically for the roam but its like $50. May add a second one!

    Sonos speaker is like no other speaker I’ve had before it puts all other speakers to shame, including JPL, Skullcandy, and beats by Dre. So little costly, but worth every penny, it can also be connected to your Alexa devices.

    Excellent product, sound, and size. This is perfect for our front porch. It doesn't quite have enough volume for our backyard and we will likely purchase the Move for out back. We got white with the hopes that it wouldn't get as hot in the sun.
