Striking sound overall,Strong frame and waterproofing,Great streaming options and features,
Feels constrained at lower volumes, Detail and expansiveness are a bit limited, Battery life isn't ideal,
Sonos Roam is a great portable addition to a Sonos setup, and is enjoyable to listen to, but buy it portability is your main focus, not sound quality.Reasons to buy+Striking sound overall+Strong frame and waterproofing+Great streaming options and features...

A little pricey,Rubber ends dent,No accompanying case,Can't use two Roam devices as surrounds in existing setup,Battery life a little under claimed
The Sonos Roam is a little pricey when compared to other Bluetooth speakers, but in the same breath it does a lot more than most Bluetooth speakers.Its portable and lightweight design is met with excellent sound performance, plus all the features that com...

Excellent, neutral-sounding performance, Well built, New features are useful, Easy to use, Auto Trueplay,
Sonos S2 can be a little flaky with new features, Could be said it lacks visual pizzazz, Wireless charging plate an optional extra,
Sonos' Roam is the portable speaker we thought the Move could be. As a cheaper, smaller alternative to the bigger speaker, it boasts excellent sound quality, an impressive list of features, and a build quality that will help it survive outdoors.ProsExcell...
Bluetooth limited to streaming, Battery life behind rivals
Overall, Sonos has done a great job with the Roam by offering something far more compact and cheaper than the Move.Even as a straight Bluetooth speaker it fares well against rivals on design, price and sound quality. However, you're going to need to use t...
Sounds phenomenal for the size, Alexa and Google Assistant support, Qi wireless charging
Voice assistant setup can be a pain, No charger supplied in the box, No 3.5mm audio input
There are niggles, then, but once you've dealt with the voice assistant setup and learned how to switch sources, the Sonos Roam is as near as any Bluetooth speaker I've tested has come to being perfect.It's compact and light enough to be called truly port...
Powerful audio performance, Easily portable design, Excellent connectivity, Google Assistant and Alexa support
Fairly pricey, Bass can be overwhelming
The Sonos Roam could be the best portable speaker on the planet, with a powerful sound, rugged design, excellent connectivity features, and smart home control. However, we can't wholeheartedly recommend it at this stage, after our review unit stopped work...

Full-bodied sound, Lots of features, Portable,
Clarity not exceptional, Average timing and dynamics,
Will that matter to most people? Depending on when and where you encounter the Sonos Roam, it probably won't. It just means there is better all-round sound out there - and there has been for some while...
A fancy little speaker for Sonos fans.It's actually sort of surprising how long it took Sonos to come out with a small-format, portable speaker. Because the company doesn't rely on Bluetooth as a means of connection, the format didn't fit as naturally int...
