Super Convenient Portable Speaker
I love this Sonos speaker! It is such a convenient size and lightweight to take with you wherever you go! It’s waterproof so you can take it to the pool, and it has decently loud volume as well! One of my favorite features of this Sonos speaker, is that it has Wi-Fi, so you can stream your favorite music services without having to use Bluetooth from your phone, and you can control it with your voice. Bluetooth is still an agaioable option as well, of course.

Move over Boise there' a new kid in town
Not much to not like about this speaker. Easy setup and sound is excellent. The ability to have stereo mode by pairing two is excellent and improves the already good sound to another level. Distinct stereo sound separation is very noticeable greatly enhancing music enjoyment. So far I have pairs in kitchen, family room and office. Really cool walking room to room never missing whatever is playing. We stream all day long and they never drop the music source. We effortlessly bounce between SiriusXM, YouTube Music, Pandora and Amazon Prime music sources. Nice we can setup separate streams to different rooms too. We recently hosted an outdoor party spread across our large backyard with these speakers spread around in those areas too. The Sonos app made it easy to DJ music selections during the party. The beauty of these Wi-Fi speakers is they aren't beholden to your phones blue tooth connection with it’s distance limitation. I should mention a solid wireless network setup is a must to take advantage of this speaker’s capabilities. My setup is a Netgear Orbi Tri-band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 system with two Satellites. The Sonos Roam speakers connect on the 5Ghz band which provides more than enough throughput. Lately I’ve been into home automation using Google Nest Hub Max, EZWIZ DB1C video doorbell, Kasa smart switches and light bulbs. This means lots of network connections (56 and counting). Even with all of these devices hanging out on my network, the Sonos Roam speakers don’t skip a note. There isn’t any perfect product but some come close. That’s the way I feel about Sonos Roam. My wish list would be purchase included a charger and the stereo pairing wouldn’t break when the speaker senses loss of charging power. With portable speakers, sound, size and features are king. Look out Boise, there is a new kid and town and it’s a bully compared to your aging product capabilities. You might be wondering if I was paid to write this or benefited by this review. The answer is no. One of my hobbies is exploring new technologies and products and I like to share my findings with fellow enthusiast.

A waterproof creature by Sonos, the ROAM! Sweet!
I bought the Sonos Move 2 weeks prior to the release of the Roam... Once I realized that the Sonos-Roam was more resistant to weather conditions I returned the Move. I'm testing the Roam now.... Great sound from this little creature!!! I have all the Sonos products or have tested them. I bought a pair so I could create a Stereo Pair. Just Beautiful Sound. This one easily compares to the Sonos One, but I can take it with me Outside with no worries!!!! I love Sonos!!!
