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.

    Great sound for such a small speaker. Also works within the Sonos environment - I have new Sonos speakers it may not work with some of the older speakers like a Sonos Play:1. One wish I have is if the speaker could be more loud on the top end of the volume scale.

    Excellent sound and easy to use. Just kind of hate how with Sonia you have to use their apps to listen to music over WiFi. Bluetooth helps but it’s just not fun switching over to Bluetooth with their one buttons scheme. Once you get used to it though,it works great

    I’ve had my speaker for just over a year (a year and 4 days) and its battery has already died. Will not charge. I don’t use very often, but when I do, I don’t charge it until it’s dead. The last two months of using it, it would die after just a few hours of use rather than a few days. It’s unfortunate it didn’t last long with even mild use. When I would use it in my office, I would connect to our tv (maybe 15ft away around the corner) and the audio cracks in and out as if it has a bad connection. I could get over the cracking despite its annoyance, and until a couple months ago, I’ve had a great time using it. The battery dying has me giving it a ‘fair’ review.

    I love it! Have two other Sonos 1SL speakers and the Roam pairs nicely with these. It also works well off my phones BT when I travel. After reading reviews on line, I noticed people complaining the Roam didn't seem to charge properly or hold a charge for the 10 hours as advertised; I had no trouble with this. I do know one must have at least a 10W power adapter for all of the charging to work properly.

    Small, but mighty. Sound is tremendous. Small enough that you can carry this with you. The many streaming services that you can get are a real bonus. Personally I have three services that I use a lot and I also useSirius XM radio. It is very easy to load the services on the device. The Roam is very user friendly. The white color just adds a bit of cool to the whole thing. I want to get a second one and use it stereo wise.

    I’m a SONOS fanatic, so there may be some bias. I have 8 in my house of varying sizes and ages. What I like about the Roam is the portability. It’s easy to move from room to room or toss on your backpack. If the sound quality is much more important than the size, go with the Move. It’s one of their best sounding speakers and it’s still portable.

    The Sonos Roam is a great portable speaker! It has great sound for such a small footprint. The best part and what separates this from other bluetooth speakers is the wifi capability. With all other bluetooth speakers, you loose connection if your music source (typically my phone), moves too far away. With the Roam you can connect it to wifi and it'll keep playing regardless of where the source moves to.

    Best portable product for home and outdoor use. Gets load enough for a small party and can be configured to my choice of smart assistant. I use Google and Alexa alternatively. And wireless charging is definitely a cherry on top

    You NEED to connect it to the app for Bluetooth.

    The audio quality of this speaker is great. It gets really loud. The only issue is that to even get the Bluetooth pairing to work you HAVE to connect it to the app. It’s so odd that you can’t connect it right out of the box to Bluetooth.

    Great sound like all Sonos products. Easy to sync to Sonos system and or use alone with Bluetooth. A little disappointed with battery life as soon as I take of charger the battery starts to deplete even if I am not using. Wondering if it is unique to mine.
