Overall, the Sonos Roam has received mixed reviews. Many appreciate its portability and integration with the Sonos ecosystem, as well as its sound quality. However, some find it overpriced for its size and lacking in sound quality compared to other speakers. The charging time and button visibility have also been mentioned as potential drawbacks. There are also concerns about Sonos phasing out older products and the lack of clear instructions for setup. Despite these criticisms, the Sonos Roam remains a popular choice for those looking for a portable speaker with smart features and good sound quality.

[Android Looks promising so far.

It’s far overpriced for such a small speaker that lacks sound. You are paying for convenience for those who already have Sonos speakers throughout their home like me. I do enjoy taking it in and out of house and having my music all playing at once but the sound is weak. If you do not own any Sonos p...

Name the best sounding small portable bluetooth speaker anno 2021?! Options under 150/200 bucks only.

I mean, the [Sonos Roam](https://reddlink.tech/sonos-roam) is amazing if you want the features. If you just want a basic bluetooth speaker, the [Soundcore is great. But Sonos lets you stream from it's app and it's self contained so you aren't draining your phone's battery when you play music.. it's really nice honestly.

Great but not perfect

Even though it is small, it packs quite the punch. Got it as a gift for the wife and she is really enjoying it.

Sonos Roam S1 v. S2 issues

This is a great speaker, especially for travel. The Roam uses Sonos S2 application and cannot be used with S1. I use S1 for my home system because I have some obsolete (2014) components.

The speaker needs to be set up through the app before it can be used with Bluetooth. We resorted to installing t...

Replaced my Bluetooth Anker speaker with a Sonos Roam. What a difference.

I can also stream in sync to the Roam and my Sony TV at the same time, so I'm looking forward to using it in multiple areas when having friends over. Only real gripe with the Roam is the buttons, which are very difficult to see in poor lighting. Works great outside in cloudy weather, so I'm satisfied, but I can't see the buttons at all when I'm in my office and only have an overhead fan as a source of light. This is my first Sonos product, and so far I am very pleased.

Great Sound but Poor Instrucctions

This is a great speaker with good sound and a small physical profile. I wish the controls at the top of the speaker were highligted in white so that they could be easily accessed. The set up instructions that came with the speaker had almost no information. The recommended download Sonos application...
