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.

    Easy setup and connection to my existing Sonos system (which i love). Great sound from such a small, good looking speaker. Will update my review after i see how much play time before the battery needs recharged.

    Fantastic little speaker. I love the fact that you can hook it up to Bluetooth, and with the press or a button have it sync with the rest of your Sonos system. Fantastic sound , great bass, worth every penny.

    Not as loud as the SONOS Move but I didn't expect it to be. It is very portable to put on the side pocket of my backpack and in the baby stroller. Music is very clear and never distorted.

    Every speaker in my home is a Sonos. Once you hear the great sound that Sonos gives, you won't want to use any other speaker. I'm a fan for life..! The Roam is small yet powerful and will not dissapoint.

    Best sounding portable speaker. If you have other sonos products, this is a must! Only Con is software issues. Seems to turn on unnecessarily and wont enter sleep mode resulting in the battery being drained.

    Great accessory with easy portability for working with the bluetooth on your phone. Part of my wife's business is working in a small workroom and the Roam's sound is fantastic in there!

    One of my favorite devices. It can easily fill a room, and works pretty well outside considering the cost. The latest update has improved battery life on Bluetooth, and I love wireless charging.

    Needed a small Bluetooth speaker to play music while in the hot tub. This speaker is perfect! Great sound and very portable. I love how Alexa plays so many songs!

    The roam sounds great but overall its not a good user experience. The wireless charger is a separate purchase. You don't need it but its a nice to have, But the device will sometimes die while its sitting on the wireless charger. Which you need to plug in a USB-C cable to the back to get it to initially charge back up sometimes. The battery life on this is terrible. Using it off the charger will get your a couple of hours maybe around 4-5 from my experience. Everytime I try and pair it to bluetooth I usually need to reboot the device a few times until I can get it pair/connect correctly. I have had mine for a year and it is currently in a state where it shows its charging but it isn't and I can't power it on or do anything with it. This seems to be common looking at the support community forum.

    What an amazing speaker for its size wow just wish Sonos can stop being stubborn and add the power off feature from the app even competitors like Bose and UE have these features that’s why I can’t give this speaker 5 star rating. It’s not so smart when you can’t even add a simple feature like this in this day and age. SONOS PLEASE STOP BEING STUBBORN SERIOUSLY IF I CAN SAVE 3 minutes of time on battery life before it auto shuts off I will take it.

    We have other sonos speakers and know the quality of sound and build and work well with Alexa. We wanted similar capability and sound quality to take with us outside. Great sound from a small package.

    Shouldn’t have been surprised when I set up the Roam and it sounded like pure heaven. I own several Play One, Playbase and now this Roam. Flawless sound, perfectly portable and fills a room quite easily.

    Sonos Roam

    The Roam is good, but just doesn’t blow you away like their other speakers. It’s also rather pricey. The buttons are difficult to see cuz they are small and not a contrasting color. I bought it to put in the garage, but it didn’t satisfy me. I guess I’m picky cuz we have a Sonos Arc, Sub, and Ones in the family room. I ended up buying a couple more Sonos One speakers for the garage. We’ll use the roam at the beach.
