That the Sonos can be submerged in water and the Bose Revolve not appeals to me, because I never do that :) The sound is about as good and I find the Bose speaker much more pleasant to use. 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. I don't find the sonos app user-friendly at all. In the meantime you can't use it and because it doesn't respond to anything you have no idea what's going on. 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.
Once the battery is empty, an orange light will flash and the speaker will not respond to anything until it is fully charged again. If you forget to turn off the speaker, it will not turn itself off, the battery will then run out. The battery runs out quickly (5-6 hours). The speaker will only turn off if you keep the button pressed for a few seconds. However, that is not the case, it is then in standby mode. 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. Before that, you have no idea if anything happens when you press the button. The on/off button protrudes <1mm and only when the speaker is ready for use - white light - a sound can be heard during use. The sound of the Sonos is good, but the speaker has so many drawbacks that I decided to sell it. Many possibilities when connected to the internet At the moment it is regularly very frustrating, especially with the knowledge that it just worked very well before. I hope Sonos fixes this soon, because they are not cheap speakers. My Wi-Fi network is just stable and has good coverage everywhere thanks to a Mesh setup, so that's certainly not the issue. A lot of customers complain about this, but the latest updates have not solved the problems, but may have made them worse. Since a few months I regularly experience that the music stops spontaneously that some speakers suddenly cut out that the sound is out of sync that speakers are suddenly untraceable etc. Personally, I am annoyed by people who use wireless speakers outside (in public) instead of earphones.
#SONOS ROAM BLUETOOTH#
I have not yet tested the Bluetooth function, and I will probably hardly use it. You can adjust the volume per speaker via the app, so that works great. When I'm not outside, the Roam just sits in a corner on the cabinet and joins my other Sonos speakers.
At higher volume, the low tones naturally disappear a bit. But it remains a small speaker, so don't expect miracles. Integrating into your existing Sonos setup is a breeze. It is a compact speaker with a sleek design and little fuss. In my opinion, the Sonos Move is far too big (and therefore too loud) for the garden if you also want to take your neighbors into account. Sonos app has not been stable since the last updatesīecause of the nice weather I wanted to expand my Sonos collection outside. Integrates easily with other Sonos products Now this is more due to the technology than to the Sonos Roam, but I find this disturbing. For example, music via Apple AirPlay sometimes only plays after a minute and adjusting the volume via Spotify Connect does not always work. I think this is a shame, because outdoors I also want to connect the speakers to each other.Īlthough the sound quality is fine and a stereo pair is fine, streaming is not entirely flawless. When using the Sonos Roam via bluetooth, it is not possible to create a stereo pair. This allows me to listen to a higher volume and a more powerful sound. When I play music at home via WiFi, I create a stereo pair with 2 Sonos Roam speakers. I did not expect this quality given the size of the speaker. The low tones sound powerful and do not push the medium and high frequencies into the background. Mainly dance music dominates at my house and these speakers reflect that nicely. I listen to many different genres, such as dance, the song of life and hip-hop. Furthermore, I can easily adjust all settings in the app, without too much fuss.
#SONOS ROAM DOWNLOAD#
I download the Sonos app and set up the speaker within minutes. This is different with the other Bluetooth speaker from Sonos, the Sonos Move. This size makes it easy to take it with me. When unpacking the speaker, I immediately notice the compact size. Less ideal is that I don't create a stereo pair via bluetooth, this only goes via WiFi. As a result, I not only stream my favorite music at home with this speaker, but also outdoors. The Sonos Roam is a WiFi speaker and Bluetooth speaker in one.
