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.

    Sounds very good, I just wish it had a little more of base.

    I love everything about this little speaker with the big sound, except the control buttons are hard to see in less than perfect conditions.

    Very good sound. Very easy to move around. A problem with all voice commands is that they are hard to sort out as to which device responds to which music or radio service. Do I say "Hey Sonos tell Alexa to go into my cloud and play my Apple (Siri) playlist". What am I missing?

    Awesome speaker. Was looking for something that was waterproof and had Google Assistant built in and this is the perfect option. Mounted outside and it provides a lot of sound in such a small package. Almost purchased a larger Sonos, but I'm glad I went with the smaller more portable one. Battery last a long time, but the built in assistant makes using it so much easier than pulling out your phone each time like you do with most Bluetooth speakers.

    The sound on this thing is great. It’s got good bass, clear overall sound, it’s nicely designed with a pleasing aesthetic and feature set… But the battery life is unacceptably bad. I had to return it because the battery would drain 30-50% each day even without it being used. My old UE Boom would last weeks, if not months on a single charge with minimal use. This thing NEEDS to be charged every 2-3 days, even if you aren’t using it, and that just doesn’t work for me. Ended up replacing it with a JBL Flip which has been much better, despite the sound quality not being quite as good (though still good.)

    Good iOS app. Great sound for such a small size and good treble and bass controls in the App. The AirPlay connectivity is clunky. I use Bluetooth the majority of the time across my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. The small size is great for traveling in a backpack or laptop bag.

    Sound is great for a portable speaker and the wifi option is important to me for Tidal and Roon. Set up is not easy for beginners but worth it.

    Same Sonos Features in a Small Package

    I have a Sonos system throughout my home so I wanted a portable speaker to extend outside my home. This speaker fit the bill. My only drawback is the sound. Its not as robust as its other family members. I suppose that is to be expected from something in such a small package. In the end, I do recommend this speaker for its price and size.

    Wonderful sound quality and ease of use. Portability is a plus and it is stylish besides. It is a bit more expensive than other systems.

    Outstanding Performance From A Small Speaker

    I have had mine for a few weeks now and love it. It has been used both at home using AirPlay 2 and at work using Bluetooth. The sound quality from this portable speaker is impressive. Setup is super easy especially if you already have a Sonos system (I own several Sonos products). Although it is waterproof and somewhat rugged in design, the finish can get marked-up if tumbled-around too much. Mine will be used mostly indoors so I am not concerned about this. I highly recommend this product based-upon my experience so far with it.

    Great portable speaker. Love that I can use it at home with my other sonos speakers and also take it on the go. Best feature is the ability to use bluetooth on the Roam and cast it to my other sonos speakers at home. I don't believe this was possible with any other sonos speakers, unless you bought a separate bluetooth transmitter The only problem is some software issues with charging or it not connecting to the rest of the system. But these have mostly been resolved with software updates or a little bit of troubleshooting.

    Love my sonos roam. I can take it the beach, pool, and when traveling. You can get it wet and just wash it off. Connectivity is sometimes a pain as it doesn’t like when an existing device is connected but someone else wants to stream their music. Battery life is good. I do love the wireless charge as it works with my iPhone wireless charger. Just make sure your turn to standby else battery will die. I might get another one as they are on sale right now.

    I have used many wireless speakers and this one is the tops, if you are looking for smart functions as well as GREAT sound. Now, I have other Bluetooth (only) speakers and I will use them when I am the water, they float and are water proof but when I want the same experience that I have in my house on my deck or working in the yard, heck yes! This has Google or Amazon assistant that can be set up, you can also AirPlay (while on WiFi), you can also connect Bluetooth when not near wireless connectivity.
