Great small speaker. I switched from bose to sonos. I read the reviews first and it seemed like a great speaker. I miss the bass from my bose. I was also expecting the wireless dock station to be able to recharge my iphone while I travel. Would have been 1 less item to carry. Overall it works well over wireless, bjt it is lacking bass and strengh soo at my house I am turning toward my home system. And on the go, it works well but do not expect a lot a noise coming ou of it if you go to the beach. (Main reason I bought it, since it was waterproof)
Good product but not compatible with the S1 controller.

I have a large mix of old and new Sonos products. The Roam speaker is the only one that doesn't work with the S1 controller, making the setup a nightmare. Requiring the use of the S2 app for the speaker is not disclosed anywhere in their advertising. Why can't Sonos release one app that can be used by all of their products or design new products so they work with the old app? Can't be that hard.....
The speaker looked nice. The sound was a little out of sync with my speaker system. I wanted to expand the system within a large room but the sound was about a half second to a second off which just created an annoying echo. It was convenient as a device you could pick up and go when chasing kids outside, but other than that it was a bit pricey for what the speaker provided us so we returned it.
Pros: Wireless
Cons: Difficult Setup, Not in sync with other speakers
I like the roam. Being able to stream music directly from the speaker is nice, and I can turn it on remotely. The downside is that it doesn't have aptx, and has a short battery life. I also wish the speaker was a bit larger and not mono. Wireless charging is also buggy.
I bought the Roam so that we could have a quality portable speaker for when we went on trips. I also wanted it to be a speaker that would integrate into our home system so that we can use it there as well. My two-year-old has discovered the speaker and absolutely loves it. She will pull it off the charger and take it with her and thanks to the integrated controls, start playing her favorite songs. I did not show her how to use it, or that it even had buttons. Sonos designed this so well that even a child can figure out how to operate it with ease. I highly recommend this speaker, great sound for the size.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Free Control Options, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
