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.

Not bad...
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love Sonos so I was excited to add this for the house to move around with. The sound is great and the features you love with Sonos are in it. The downside is it forgets its network a lot and the battery doesn't last too long. Only buy if adding to Sonos system. Otherwise buy a good bluetooth...

Big sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really was surprised with the sound for the size of this thing. Connectivity is great with bluetooth but sometimes I have trouble on wifi (could be user error).

Great open box purchase
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After extensive research I decided on the Sonos Roam for a portable bluetooth speaker. Unfortunately, it seemed like it was backordered everywhere since it was released two months ago. While checking BB's website I saw there were open box - excellent condition units available. I've bought open box items before, so I was comfortable doing so. The unit arrived in three days, and other than the package seals being cut it appeared brand new. Setup was easy, and the sound is amazing for such a little speaker. While it is one of the more expensive speakers available, it is definitely worth every penny.

Decent product but does not live up to expectation
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is good quality for a portable speaker, but not as loud as I expected based on the price. Also the battery life is much shorter than advertised (3-4 hours of play time) and there seem to be software issues where it cuts off without warning. I think we would have been better off saving up to much a Move.

Sound boost
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Provides great sound all around the house. Nice boost to the current networked speakers or just nice to have with you in one room listening on your own. Powers itself down when not in use.

Big sound, little package
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Big, full sound you'd expect from Sonos. Was about to purchase a Bose Micro because of the sound quality, and the convenient strap on the back, but then Sonos announced the Roam. We have a Sonos ecosystem in our house already so ultimately decided to try the Roam out instead. I wish it had a way to attach to bags like the Bose, but I'll figure something out on my own. The sound is as you'd expect. You can connect to your Sonos system already in place, or via bluetooth and AirPlay when on the go. Haven't tested battery life yet. But I imagine this will travel with us where ever we go.

Best speaker in its size, by far.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Phenomenal sound. Works well as both Bluetooth and air play speaker. Battery life is nothing special, but wireless charging makes it easy to keep it charged.

Good - not great.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is by far the 'weakest' of the SONOS lineup and it shows when comparing it to a ONE/ PLAY:1. My intent was to use this as an outdoor speaker for a covered area. While it does the job I intended, I need to significantly increase its volume to hit the desired level (for comparison it took 75-80% to hit the level of what 45-50% would hit on a ONE). It lacks bass and 'punch' compared to other more affordable bluetooth speakers. This must be forgiven, however, as you're killing 2 birds with one stone. You get a 'roaming' SONOS speaker within your existing SONOS ecosystem with the added benefit of being able to take it with you on trips. I haven't tested the full longevity of the battery life, but from my readings, it does the job so long as you're not looking for it to go an entire weekend on a single charge. To me, this speaker is better pitted at the $100-$125 range (I got it on sale at $140). SONOS now has an SL version which is a little cheaper that I would quicker recommend provided you do not need the voice control functionality.

Anthony
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unbelievably great sound, surprising nice bass and highs ; portable; ideal for an office or small room. The bluetooth feature was a little tricky setting up, but once I got it going, I am very pleased with the product and purchase . I would highly recommend it. Would have given it a 5 star but setup could have been smoother.

Great addition to your Sonos ecosystem.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is feature rich and the sound is absolutely amazing for a speaker of this size. If you want a speaker that sounds like the Bose mini, the JBL flip or UE boom go buy one of those cause this ain’t it. The clarity of the highs and mids sounds awesome.

Best portable speaker that includes wifi
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely the best portable speaker I've used for a good combination of price, sound quality, size/weight and functions. I specifically wanted a portable speaker that would work on wifi when at home because the connectivity is just so much easier. This fits the bill perfectly. Have to be diligent about the power standby vs. power off, have come to find a dead battery once in a while which is pretty terrible when you're expecting to have sound. But, that's a minor issue overall that just requires a little extra diligence to be sure you don't leave it on and draining.

Great features, lacking bass and battery.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is great, bass is lacking. Features and functions are excellent. Battery life is not great, but with wifi running, that’s to be expected. One weird quirk is that it turns itself on under conditions I have not yet figured out. Turning it completely off takes a 5 second long press of the power button, but seems to wake itself when you go into the app.
