I gave my daughter a Roam 2 for her 13th birthday, and she absolutely loves it; she can take it with her wherever she wishes, and its performance is outstanding.

The Roam 2 packs a punch for a small portable speaker. I recently bought two to get stereo sound when hooked up to my phone as well as my mp3 player ( sony Zx707 walkman). The bass and treble are great out of the box, when connected to the app you can tweak it to your liking. The Trueplay feature is excellent in balancing the sound throughout my room.
As a mono speaker its great when traveling. I use it while im at work driving. The bluetooth feature works great and the setup is very easy. Battery life is good, i keep the sound at half and i get around 8-10hrs, which is fine for me since my shift is 8hrs.
The price when compared to ue, bose, jbl, sony, hk is competitive and wasnt really an issue.

Ive been wanting to get the first gen, but never get to buy one. The Roam 2 came out a few days ago and i decided to get one. The sound quality definitely not the best for its price, but as an addition to my Sonos system, it’s fantastic! I have two Era 100 as stereo pair set up in the far back of my room, and a homepod mini on my desk as a complete set up. Now I switched out the homepod mini for a Roam 2, it sounds amazing! And the best part is, I can take this little speaker with me everywhere! I would say it’s worth it!

It’s fantastic except for a few podcasts then you need to use it in Bluetooth setting when Alexa gives you the error message… then you might have to reset factory default then go through the setup or just enable the Bluetooth…

I love my Roam 2 .. It sounds loud and great both inside and outside. I was a little scared I wouldn't hear enough bass outdoors, but it actually sounds great!
I got the white one looking at it like a mini paint canvas, I'm an artist and can't wait to personalize it!

At one month old it will not turn on nor hold a charge despite attempts to reset.
I thinkthey still have some bugs to work out.

It sounds like you’re experiencing a significant issue with the Sonos Roam 2. Here’s what you can try to resolve the problem:
Ensure Charging: Confirm that the Roam 2 is properly connected to a power source using the provided USB-C cable and adapter. Sometimes, a faulty cable or adapter can prevent charging.
Check Charging Indicators: Look for any charging indicator lights. If there’s no light, try a different USB-C cable and power adapter to see if the issue persists.
Reset the Roam 2: Even though you've tried resetting, make sure you're following the correct procedure. For most Sonos devices, you hold down the power button for about 10 seconds until the LED light flashes orange and white, then release.
Check for Firmware Updates: Sometimes, firmware updates can address bugs. Ensure that the Sonos app is up-to-date and check for any available updates for your Roam 2.
Try a Different Power Source: Plug the charger into a different outlet or use a different USB power source to rule out any issues with the power source itself.
Contact Sonos Support: If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, contacting Sonos customer support is the next best step. They can offer more specific troubleshooting or arrange for a repair or replacement if the device is defective.
If you're still having trouble or if there's a known issue with the Roam 2 that Sonos is addressing, our support team should be able to provide the most current information. You can learn more at support.sonos.com.
I hope this helps!

I wanted a small portable speaker to bring with me throughout my home and during outings. This smaller speaker packs a great amount of sound and bass. I have considered getting another to have in other areas of the house. I love the pairing capability with the other Sonos devices in my home.

Had this speaker 2 years 1 month and it died. I expected it to last forever or a couple more years. We used it a lot. Downside was, for some reason you need to have the Sonos app installed. It is quite sturdy. It's fun to hold. It sounds nice in or around the car.

Tried multiple speakers, but sonos stood out for me as it is light in weight which makes it easy to carry along. Long battery life, as I use it almost all day, so thats a plus for me and last but not the least, music is so soft and not loud and harsh like other speakers I tried.

Amazing features, great size for portability. Perfect as a shower speaker and for a small group of people. Can’t handle max volume because the sound seems to lose its quality. Highest it can go comfortably is maybe 85%. Would love if it can be a little bigger and get almost as loud as the JBL Charge 5 but the voice/smart/wireless charging features make it worth it.

The Sonos Roam 2 is an absolute game-changer! I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it has quickly become my go-to speaker for both indoor and outdoor listening. The build quality is top-notch—sturdy, sleek, and truly portable. It’s lightweight and perfectly sized, making it easy to take anywhere.
The sound quality is phenomenal. Despite its compact size, the Roam 2 delivers rich, full-bodied audio with impressive bass and clear highs. Whether I’m relaxing at home or having a picnic at the park, the sound fills the space beautifully. The automatic Trueplay tuning is a fantastic feature, adjusting the sound to match the environment seamlessly.
Battery life is excellent, easily lasting through long days of use. The wireless charging option is super convenient, and I love how effortlessly it integrates with my existing Sonos system. Switching between Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is smooth, making it perfect for on-the-go use.
Overall, the Sonos Roam 2 is a must-have for anyone who values quality sound and portability. It’s the perfect blend of smart features, durability, and exceptional audio performance. Highly recommended!

I can't say enough great things about Sonos and their speakers! The Roam 2 portable speaker is amazing! It sounds so much bigger than it physically is, and it connects without a flaw to my iPhone, turntable, computer, etc. Using the Sonos app, I can connect multiple Sonos speakers (Roams, soundbars, etc.) into one giant, great-sounding sound system. Total game changer! I suffered for a few years using some Apple HomePod minis, which sounded ok, but wouldn't hold a connection worth a darn. Sonos totally blows those out of the water! If you're looking for a compact portable speaker, buy the Sonos Roam 2--you won't be sorry!
