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.

    This is an excellent speaker. Incredible bass and mid range, decent battery life, and the price is affordable. Compared to similar size/price blue tooth speakers, this one beats them all hands down, add to that the sonos app and the ability to link in with all your other sonos products, makes this a no brainer.

    Bluetooth is tedious to get to pair

    Sound is fantastic - we actually bought two of them! But we stopped using them because they are so finicky with bluetooth - plan on a 5 minute ordeal every time you want to listen to anything through the speakers through bluetooth - by the time I get it paired, I am out of the mood to listen to music. We got the expensive Bose one that looks like a little coffee pot and it pairs through bluetooth immediately - no hassle - but sound quality is not quite as good as the Roam (even though the Bose is much louder)

    I love this little guy. It is beautiful to behold and very easy to use, thoroughly portable everywhere in my house and even works on my back porch. The sound quality is way better than I expected and I’m slowly getting to know all the things it can do. It is definitely worth the money and I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone.

    4.5 stars. Great sound for the size and portability. Could be better with a charge. I prefer to use the Move on most occasions though and don’t use the Roam as much as I thought I would

    Best combo of WiFi and Bluetooth

    This is the first truly portable wireless speaker I have had that seamlessly moves between WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. It is my third Sonos speaker and set up was consistent with the previous two. The only hiccup was that tapping my phone against the speaker to use NFC set up did not work, so I had to enter an almost unreadable PIN # from the speaker bottom into my app. The sound is good for a speaker this size and comparable to my Bose SoundLink Mini. The big advantage it has is being able to be operated from anywhere in the house just by opening my Sonos app. Another bonus is that it can also be charged with any wireless charger, not just the proprietary one that Sonos sells separately.

    A very nice product. Not the least expensive portable, waterproof speaker but it sounds great for its size and the ability to use Alexa is really nice. No need to go back to a receiver inside to change genres or ambums. Very pleased. Just recognize that it cannot serve as a surround in its spare time.

    Purchased as a birthday gift for my son to use in his college dorm. He loves it as he was already familiar with Sonos from our home setup. The other bonus is he can connect it to the home Sonos network and use wifi when at home.

    Great sound in a small package. Wish it had a little more top end and wish it would sink with another roam in Bluetooth mode

    This speaker is a great portable speaker and was a lot smaller than expected, which makes it easy to travel with. For the size it sounds nice and definitely excels at home when using the Sonos app.

    Great speaker, bad app

    Good sound quality for its size. Hard for me to tell if it was on, asleep, or off. More than once I went to use it and found its battery drained. I like to use Apple Music and SiriusXM. The interface for both was way worse in the Sonos app than using the "real" apps. Ugly, slow to navigate, and Apple Music simply was missing some of my playlist entries and search was broken for me. So I ended up just using it as an Airplay 2 speaker instead. Because of that, I didn't think I was getting enough extra "Sonos" value for the price, and I ended up returning it.

    The Sonos Roam is a fantastic speaker. This is my first Sonos and I was blown away by the sound quality produced. The battery is a little lackluster, but that's because it constantly listens to its surroundings in order to produce the most balanced sound possible. Once its been established, you can turn this off however.

    Bought it in September 2021 and it stopped working after 2 years. It gave me the same defective issue that many are complaining about where it just stops charging and only shows you an orange light when plugged in. You would think that for $180 it would last longer and that's not the only issue it gave me. It constantly lost the Airplay connection as well. It's disappointing because when it worked the sound was nice.

    I recently switched my home audio to Sonos and have been so pleased by the ease of use and quality. Bought this speaker for travel but use in my office when at home. It swaps between Bluetooth and my Wi-Fi Sonos network with no effort. And for a small speaker it can really rock the highs and lows. Great buy!

    Very happy with this speaker. Adds on easily with the Sonos app hooks to WiFi and Bluetooth effortlessly. Works great for small gatherings or using in a smaller room. It doesn’t have the room filling presents of the Sonos surround sound system or Move but is very impressive for a small speaker. Have recommended to others.
