Roam 2 - Black - Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

The Sonos Roam 2 is hands-down one of the best portable speakers I’ve ever owned. It packs incredible sound quality into a small, rugged design that’s perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Whether I’m at home, hiking, or hanging by the pool, the Roam 2 delivers clear, balanced audio with impressive bass for its size.Setup was super easy—just a few taps in the Sonos app, and it connected instantly via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The battery life is solid, lasting me all day on a single charge. Plus, the fast charging feature means less downtime between uses.I love the durability too: it’s waterproof and dustproof, so I never have to worry about taking it outside or near water. The sleek design fits comfortably in my hand or bag, and the built-in voice assistant works well when I want hands-free control.Overall, the Sonos Roam 2 is the perfect blend of portability, ruggedness, and premium sound. It’s great for anyone who wants high-quality audio on the go without compromising convenience or durability. Highly recommend!

UPDATE: It appears that the charging unit I was using was not compatible; therefore only giving a small charge. I had not gone to my SONOS app to check the battery power (which I didn’t even know was there). Sooooo, forget my previous review!! I’m sorry for leaving a bad review when it was my fault!!Feel like I got ripped off. We have been a Sonos speaker household for yeeeeaaars! Have them in EVERY room. My husband got this for me for my bday and I just have had a chance to start using it. The speaker (fully charged) only lasts 1.5 hours! I charged fully and used it again (2 more times) to make sure this was the case and yep, it only played for 1.5 hours and then quit. This is so disappointing and incredibly unacceptable! I hate my husband wasted any money on this speaker.

My wife wanted a speaker for her bathroom I purchased the small JBL and she didn't like the sound quality. This speaker is truly next level. It's a small bathroom and in her opinion, now sounds like a concert hall. The old saying you get what you pay for... If you want truly great soft and loud sound quality that can go anywhere, this is it..

This is my first Sonos speaker and they are top of the line. This thing has so much base and so much clarity and it auto adjust to make it sound perfect. I might buy another one and set them up as a stereo pair for music and or TV. 5 stars 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Unfortunately, I have had nothing but trouble with my Sonos system since purchasing a Roam 2 and trying to use it with my ARC. The Sonos software is flakey and unreliable. I've spent hours on the phone with Sonos support, a very mixed bag. One extremely knowledgeable tech and three who tried hard but simply didn't have the skills to help me get my new Roam 2 to function properly with my ARC system. With help from the support people, I sometimes (but not always) managed to get my Roam 2 to perform properly. Then I turn off the ARC when I go to bed, and, KAZAAAAAM, when I turn on the system the next morning it's back to the Roam 2 not connecting with the ARC or the sources feeding the ARC. Over and over. It's just like Groundhog Day.When it's working, the Roam 2 is a delight as an auxiliary speaker. But using it with the very buggy Sonos software required to operate it as a part of my system is a freaking nightmare.So I am returning it to Amazon. Too hard to use.Get your software act together, Sonos!Milt Baker

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.

Love Sonos and this Roam2 is perfect. I actually bought two of the wall mount pieces so i can have it mounted up in my home office and outside for entertaining. Highly recommend the mounts.
