According to our Bluetooth speaker expert
The Sonos Roam is the ideal Bluetooth speaker for at home and outdoors. When you're at home, connect the speaker to your home network and stream music via WiFi. Are you taking the speaker outside? You can can listen to your favorite songs wirelessly via Bluetooth. You can even use it by the pool or take it to the beach thanks to the dust-resistant and waterproof design. The TruePlay technology adjusts the sound of the speaker to the acoustics of the room. This way, the music sounds good in every room. With the built-in Google Assistant, you can control the speaker via voice commands. You hold down the play/pause button to easily move the music to your nearest Sonos speaker. You can listen to music for 10 hours on a full charge. Choose the Sonos Roam Duo Pack if you want to enjoy stereo sound at home via WiFi.
Note: you have to connect the Roam to WiFi before you can use Bluetooth.

The Sonos Roam is a WiFi speaker and Bluetooth speaker in one. As a result, I not only stream my favorite music at home with this speaker, but also outdoors. I think that's ideal. Less ideal is that I don't create a stereo pair via bluetooth, this only goes via WiFi.
User-friendly speaker When unpacking the speaker, I immediately notice the compact size. This size makes it easy to take it with me. This is different with the other Bluetooth speaker from Sonos, the Sonos Move. I download the Sonos app and set up the speaker within minutes. Furthermore, I can easily adjust all settings in the app, without too much fuss. This makes the speaker user-friendly.
Powerful, clear sound I love the sound this speaker produces. I listen to many different genres, such as dance, the song of life and hip-hop. Mainly dance music dominates at my house and these speakers reflect that nicely. The low tones sound powerful and do not push the medium and high frequencies into the background. I did not expect this quality given the size of the speaker. It turns out, size doesn't matter.
Create stereo pair When I play music at home via WiFi, I create a stereo pair with 2 Sonos Roam speakers. This allows me to listen to a higher volume and a more powerful sound. When using the Sonos Roam via bluetooth, it is not possible to create a stereo pair. I think this is a shame, because outdoors I also want to connect the speakers to each other.
Hitch and delay Although the sound quality is fine and a stereo pair is fine, streaming is not entirely flawless. For example, music via Apple AirPlay sometimes only plays after a minute and adjusting the volume via Spotify Connect does not always work. Now this is more due to the technology than to the Sonos Roam, but I find this disturbing.

The sound of the Sonos is good, but the speaker has so many drawbacks that I decided to sell it. For starters, the controls are clunky. The on/off button protrudes <1mm and only when the speaker is ready for use - white light - a sound can be heard during use. Before that, you have no idea if anything happens when you press the button. Once ready for use, a sound is heard when you briefly press it once and it seems as if the speaker has been turned off, because the light goes out. However, that is not the case, it is then in standby mode. The speaker will only turn off if you keep the button pressed for a few seconds. The battery runs out quickly (5-6 hours). If you forget to turn off the speaker, it will not turn itself off, the battery will then run out. Once the battery is empty, an orange light will flash and the speaker will not respond to anything until it is fully charged again. After connecting to a power outlet, the orange light will glow continuously and then it will take ~1 hour before the speaker has life again. In the meantime you can't use it and because it doesn't respond to anything you have no idea what's going on. The app gives you zero information. I don't find the sonos app user-friendly at all. I bought the Sonos Roam because I had the impression that the size was much more compact than that of my Bose Revolve, and that turns out to be disappointing in practice. The sound is about as good and I find the Bose speaker much more pleasant to use. That the Sonos can be submerged in water and the Bose Revolve not appeals to me, because I never do that :)
