5.0 out of 5 stars Great for the bathroom
This is the second one I have bought so that I can have stereo music in the bedroom. Great sounding for it's size, a versatile, lightweight smart speaker. As a Sonos fan I love it, easy to use with the Sonos app.
5.0 out of 5 stars neat, good sound, waterproof!
We bought this to use as a shower speaker that could also be taken with us on travels. In the past we have had various Bluetooth speakers (one even had Alexa built in but an update removed it much to my annoyance) which have worked well in the shower but found it sometimes a bit frustrating that you put a playlist on and you would maybe change your mind or a song came to mind you wanted to hear. Or you suddenly remembered something to add to your shopping list. So with those you would have to wait until you got out the shower. First world problems I know, but a solution seemed to exist with an alexa enabled waterproof speaker. already having a few sonos speakers in our house I have been impressed with the sound quality of those so figured this should be pretty good.I am not an audiophile so wont ramble on about highs, lows and sound stages, but will say to my uncultured ear, it sounds good to me!I wanted to write a review for anyone who has read anything about issues setting this up.The speaker came with slightly less than 50% charge, so I unpacked it and turned it on and started following the guide that is supplied. When told to, I opened the Sonos app on my android phone and there was a message there about setting up the roam 2. Easy peasy! I just followed the guidance in the app and got it set up (including firmware update it took around 5 mins all in, with no need to add WiFi password or anything like that. All done automatically!)It doesn't set Sonos voice or Alexa control as part of the set up process but I went into settings for the roam2 in the app and there was an easy to see button for adding either of those 2 voice assistants. I selected Alexa and it prompted me to sign into my Bolo account.This is where things took a turn for the worse. No matter what I did it would not go beyond asking to set up Bolo account. I just kept getting a spinning wheel. Frustrated, I went online and searched and found a long thread on the Sonos forums about this very issue. The fix (at this time) seemed to be to delete the Bolo shopping app from my phone, then add the Alexa to sonos roam2 then reinstall Bolo app. I couldn't be bothered with that so I opened my work iPhone and very easily set alexa on the roam2 from that. There were no issues signing into Bolo account via the iPhone app. Seems its an issue with android phones and not iPhone. So if you have access to an iPhone I would go down that route to set up Alexa. Otherwise you might need to delete your Bolo app first.Anyhoooo, I got it all set up after that very easily, and Alexa is working wellAnother downside is that there is no wall plug for the speaker to charge it. just a cable. I plugged it into my bedside charger and checked the app to see if it was charging OK. The app said it was an incompatible charger and to change it. That being said it did charge up fully!But I went on the Sonos website to see what plug they recommend and they state any 5v 2a 10W plug (including Qi wireless pads) or their own wireless charger. Which looks neat and is magnetic, but pretty steep at near £50! I guess there's a convenience of just sitting it on the charger without having to plug anything in. But the charge port on the speaker is USB C and is easily accessible to plug a cable in (unlike ultimate ears speakers I have where teh charge port is very recessed under a rubber seal, so you need a specific cable to fitinto the recess and plug in. There is no real issue to plug in rather than wireless with the sonos roam. I decided to buy a sub £10 plug instead. I may buy the sonos official wireless charger at some point if I find charging to be a pain and I am feeling flush with cash!Anyway, all in all I am happy with my purchase. Yes, there are cheaper shower speakers that may or may not sound as good. But I really wanted the alexa integration, and that works well (after finally getting it set up!) There may be other Alexa enabled shower speakers, but having had one before and losing that capability after a few short months (thanks a bunch Ultimate Ears!!) I decided to go with the brand I already know and trustThe fact it is part of sonos ecosystem so it can be grouped with the other sonos is neat, but probably not something I will us often.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
Very good quality product with great sound.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound
Great sounding smart speaker for its size. Clear treble and mid range. Bass is strong but not overpowering. I love it and it has Bluetooth plus Alexa enabled. I already have a Sonos system so this is a great addition.
4.0 out of 5 stars Easily integrates into Sonos ecosystem - very portable but sound quality not as good as others
This is a neat and very portable speaker. The triangular profile makes it easy to grab and set up anywhere. If you have an existing Sonos (S2) setup, it is easy to add to the system and you can then play music either directly through the Sonos app or by air casting from another app. (I have used this with Apple iOS devices). You can even send music via the Sonos website remotely. Sonos has had some stick recently but the issues around the new app seem to be being addressed. I found the setup and connection to be pretty straightforward and fairly solid.There is a wireless charging base available which makes it very convenient to grab and go - and also keep it available for use on the network. The original Sonos base is quite pricy but there are third party alternatives available. You can also find third party cases and silicone skins for protection.Sound quality is fair - you can't beat physics and you are not going to get body-rocking bass out of a speaker of this size but even so, I found it slightly disappointing when compared to the performance of a similar sized Bose speaker. Not dreadful but not the best small speaker I have heard.If you have existing Sonos system, this integrates well and is a reasonable choice for portable sound. If you are not already wedded to Sonos, then the case is rather more moot and this is perhaps not the most performant speaker of this sort of size available.
3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, but lacking in bass
I liked the way this looked and it worked well, but I found it underpowered and lacking bass. It sounded fine, but somewhat weak, and had trouble filling a room. I ended up returned it and buying a Bose Soundlink Flex which I am much happier with: similar size, much weightier sound.
5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful punch!
Wow wasn't expecting such a great tone but this little device is absolutely perfect especially with drum & bass! I thoroughly recommend this it can be used anywhere in the house or even in the garden. Battery life runs on & on may seem abit pricey but pay that little bit extra as it's worth it.
1.0 out of 5 stars Tried 2, both failed
Sonos say this connects to Google or Alexa. You have to download the Sonos App. Once downloaded, the app does NOT let you connect to Google or Alexa. I looked for a solution online and there are loads of people commenting that it doesn't connect and this has been going on a few years apparently. Why don't Sonos do something about their app.I would not recommend this speaker sadly. It does look and sound good, and is light and portable so if it worked on wifi properly I would be very happy.
Cooles Teil
Macht genau was es soll, Musik und Radio in gutem Klang. Startet automatisch mit dem letzten Programm, ohne dass man über die App gehen muss. Laut geht auch, aber durch das geringe Volumen natürlich nicht mit großen Lautsprechern vergleichbar. Schön handlichund Akku hält auch wie angegeben.
Du Sonos
Top et puissant comme tous les systèmes Sonos.S’intègre facilement au système existant comme en enceinte nomade lors d’une sortie ou d’un pic nique.Top !
Ottima cassa bluetooth
Ottima cassa bluetooth ok audio perfetto, ma la app ridicola ed inaffidabile, l'ecosistema ballerino, e l'assistenza latitante non giustificano il prezzo 10 volte maggiore di una normale cassa bluetooth. Parliamo di una cassa che sulla carta promette miracoli, ma mentre la si sta usando via bluetooth non è raggiungibile in wifi, cioè bisogna staccarla manualmente dal bluetooth e poi aspettare che venga trovata in wifi. L'app lagga come se fosse una applicazione da 4 soldi e quando si ascolta qualche altro servizio musicale si disconnette continuamente, ci mette tre ore per avviarsi, e non ultimo il volume si alza e abbassa da solo mentre stai ascoltando la musica in tutta casa... un esperienza da vivere se poi non puoi prontamente abbassare il volume perchè l'applicazione fa schifo ed in quel preciso momento ha deciso di non aprirsi o di aprirsi e dire che non ci sono casse installate. Buona avventura.
Calidad del espectacular
Para ser tan pequeño, tiene una gran calidad de sonido y se aprecian la claridad con la que se escucha cada nota.
Clear sounds.
High tones sounds really good. Bass is limited but as aspected looking at its size.
