Hi
I have the Sonos Roam and I really love it, it sounds gorgeous being a small speaker, I like it so much specially because it has Alexa built-in, it’s Wifi enabled, being at the same time Bluetooth and waterproof, I made it a water test and it really survived. It also supports Spotify Connect and it works rock solid, to substitute Bluetooth or also it can support Airplay, for Apple users like me.
When it comes about Wifi requirements, this is my first Sonos speaker and I’ve read in the support pages that the Sonos products require a very complex and specific network setup to work flawlessly and errors free, they don’t tolerate any wireless interference, some network hardware isn’t compatible, and the speakers can’t be factory reset for troubleshooting. Is the Sonos Roam strict with the network? I know that it can’t be used on SonosNet, so it’s really Wifi dependent, and in my house wireless interference is present due to concrete walls, what would be the best way to clear any interference and setup my network so my Roam and other Sonos products can work flawlessly? Why is not a good idea to factory reset Sonos products for troubleshooting?
Great video
The background music ❤
I have the Sono's Beam and absolutely love it. Definitely interested in the Roam
He fails to tell u the set up system takes 4 ever u need to download an app it's a hole process. 👎
pretty easy
Crap speaker, it sounds really bad.
Paid review.
Wait I can’t add new speakers to my existing Sonos?!
Really happy with my Sonas speaker, love the design and the quality.
HomeKit and airplay2 make me choose the Sonos
Half a year ago, I purchased a DINDIN Bluetooth speaker, and its sound quality, appearance and features deeply captured my heart. The DINDIN brand deserves to be discovered by more people.
Good, clear, communicative review. We're privileged in these days to get such for free.
lacks deep bass, but is clean sounding I suppose!
My Bose Soundlink Mini died and this looks like a nice replacement with more features..
When I saw sonos bt portable speaker. It definitely peaked my interest. , but I’m sure the soundbar Community is well aware and can pin point the advantages of it. •Being listed at 200$ is a big negative. I know sonos is big time in sound & sound bars etc , it’s not mentioned much in the outdoor average-good sound quality speaker community though. . I’m sure it makes more sense to everyone with a sonos sound bar And those that are used to the setup and that speaker pairing tech it has. I’m sure it comes in handy. I wouldn’t even really compare it to the sony or jbl styles. But 200$ for this sonos speaker I can’t… I’d rather & did go to amazon and grab the brand new Soundcore-by anker •motion boom plus. $179. With my coupon for 38 offjust released a 179$. (Lucky me I got the coupon 145$. off). It’s an 80w speaker 2 30w woofers with 10w tweeters ip67 waterproof. Bass up tech • 4 drivers with acoustic combo. So I understand sonos. Is a great company. Soon is definitely Top
Of the line sound equipment company. Even some great features, I admit are cool .. But not for the volume it puts out at -200$ no way. ! But just my opinion. I’ll have the motion plus anyday. And I have plenty other “mini speakers too. “. Some are on my page. I just started tho. So just testing it out just put a few shorts of them
Up. N only 3. Out of 7-8 brands I have. I’d like to hear from anyone who. Bought this and maybe teach me a big y I should get it over the motionnboom plus
You missed that it has WIFI Connectivity which beats all remaining in terms of not losing bitrate
Planned obsolescence company.
Is it better sound than the Bose Sound mini link (the first one) ?
Really curious to see how it would compare to the Bose soundlink mini which in my experience is the ABSOLUTE best sounding Bluetooth speaker out there.
I have a question – hope someone can help…… I have Sonos inside my house. Will this new speaker “hook in” to this same music & play it outside? Thx!
This is the stupidest speaker I’ve ever had. Every time I try to use is it takes 35 minutes to connect to my phone. Such a piece of crap. Battery is always dead.
Bought one today, what a pita to set up. I'll have to wait till tomorrow to try again – madness. Requires WiFi, app, Sonos account (absolutely will not email me a link to update my password). Underwhelmed doesn't come close – I wonder what it sounds like.
