5.0 out of 5 stars Big sound in a portable package
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2024
Easy setup like other Sonos experience. Very pleased that the sound is so full for a small speaker. Bought two of these so I can integrate with my other Sonos speakers, spreading sound around the house and on occasion outside. This speaker is great for such flexibility! I also put these two Roam 2 speakers in a stereo pair in a single room and am super impressed by the sound. Worth thinking about two of these as an alternative to more pricey Sonos options for your room. You will get pretty good sound plus flexibility/portability (at the expense of volume and depth of bass sound). Battery life is great, and I like the way the speakers sleep or power down when unplugged and idle for awhile, but stay up and awake if plugged in. The updated Sonos app keeps track of these even when powered off and picks them right up when powered on. Sonos is a great system and these Roam 2 speakers are a great addition for a portable option.

We use the Roam2 outside in our patio relaxing in the evening. Our favorite music is smooth jazz. The bass is excellent despite the device’s small. The WiFi and blue tooth connections work well, as does the voice control. This device is well worth its cost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Underwhelming performance
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2024
So, the positives right up front. Very small and portable. Simplistic but stylish. Easy to use and setup. Love the dedicated Bluetooth. Comes well packaged from Sonos. Very small and for its size, puts out good volume.

Now the potential cons. I have a Sonos Arc and the Sonos Move (1st Gen). Got them both for a great sale price and the sound quality never ceases to impress me. Especially the Move, which even at very high volumes plays great music from rock, country and rap. I bought the roam to be more portable than my Move, which I use on the deck, poolside or at small gatherings. The Roam was more for hiking, beach trips and casual listening washing the car, etc. I have to say I am not impressed. It sounds decent at its highest volume although you can tell you’ve reached its limit. I never feel like any of my other Sonos products have hit a limit even at 100% volume. It also sounds almost flat and very mono sounding vs steep or simulated stereo. Worse, it’s okay with rock or country or anything that has very little bass, but don’t try and play any kind of rap or hip hip. The bass is almost non-existent and really makes it feel like you’re pushing the speakers beyond their capabilities.

Granted, most small portable like this would have similar issues, but when I listen to my sons JBL Flip 5, which costs less than half the price, I feel like the bass is much richer and the sound is louder, but of relatively similar quality as the Sonos, which is very disappointing. Maybe I’m missing the mark on its intended use, but I don’t think so. For small sound and high portability, it’s okay, but feels overpriced when compared to a couple others for what it offers.

Would have considered a slightly larger roam in its 2nd generation for larger speakers or drivers or a dedicated bass port. I’ll have to sample it for a while and along others. I’m on the fence keeping it vs returning it. I’ll update my decision later.

UPDATE: okay, after using it down at the beach, I would have to say my opinion has changed some. While I still would like a bit more volume, it’s pretty good for small spaces and close to me or around the pool or campfire. Sound has grown on me for most music and I recognize what it is for its ultra portability. Battery life is good and it’s been easy to pair. Loud enough to enjoy, but not so loud as to annoy others around me at the beach. I bought it at full price for $179. If you wait for Prime Day or other major sales days, it drops to $143, which is a much more reasonable price where it’s worth it.

Sonos makes awesome speakers. We love the wi-fi connection option. Could be a little louder but otherwise very good!

1.0 out of 5 stars Android owners beware-Alexa does not work
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2024
I bought this to have an alexa compatible device. After purchase I downloaded the app required to set it up and I kept getting an error thar it could not add the Alexa voice assistant. After troubleshooting and researching the issue, it is a known issue on the app on Android phones. Sonos is allegedly aware and is supposed to update the app to fix it, but that was promised months ago and it is still not fixed.

5.0 out of 5 stars sound quality, light

great sound, and I love the shape, elegant

first I was just looking for bluetooth speaker I went to the store and compared a bunch (Bose, jbl,ult etc....) and I liked the Bose the most but then I noticed this came out I decided to give It a shot, I like the sound more, lightness and the shape

speaker is plenty loud for being near it I cared more for sound quality than loudness because I just want to have something near me at highquality, even sitting outside I have it at 60% and its planty

I didn't care for wifi was thinking is it even worth it extra dollars for that but noticed I pretty much at home only use it over wifi, sonos app on my pixel phone, or airplay on my MacBook

something I didn't understand its Trueplay I was like whatever its one of those gimmick things that you don't notice difference or subtle - I had it off I was outside and speaker seemed a little flat to me so I turned up the bass in sonos app, next morning I took it to the shower and I couldn't hear vocals because how strong bass was then I was like I should turn down the bass for closed space and then I was like wait lets turn Trueplay on, and it was perfect now I keep it on turns down bass in the bathroom so the sound is clear, and turns bass up outside so the speaker does not seem flat amazing this feature alone is such a game changer

anyways I am keeping it and after so much research I am really satisfied that I put a little extra money

3.0 out of 5 stars Great sound, but not without flaws
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2024
I use this speaker for the shower, golf trips, and as a laptop speaker. Sounds great and nothing it's size I have heard is this crisp. Size is the key feature here so if you have more room for a larger portable speaker, then there are other options. Using it as a laptop speaker... well bluetooth takes at least 2 full minutes to click on each morning I start my day, so when I join my first meeting, people are talking and I can't hear anything. Biggest flaw, no matter what I do, Amazon Alexa will not connect to this speaker. I have sonos arc, sub, 300s, and a move 2 that are excellent and connected, but this little guy just hangs in the app with Connecting to Amazon. If you are using this as a smart speaker, look at different options.
