Bought from Smarthomesounds a couple of weeks ago. Love the sound quality from such a small light weight speaker. Great for the bathroom as it is waterproof. Took it away for a weekend break and bluetooth kicks in easily when asked to connect from iphone. The reason for a 4 rather than a five star review is twofold: 1) Battery drains quickly in standby mode as Sonos app wakes it up every time controller is used other Sonos speakers. If not used for a couple of days Battery is at 35% and this means another charge if it is needed for a days playing outside or when away from Wifi. Sonos stated up to 10 days battery life when in stand by mode but this is not achievable. Solution is to power off completely but that means when you want it to wake up you have to physically turn it back on. First thing in the morning and half asleep in shower I just want to say Alexa play Radio. 2) Sonos blurb stated that device would switch from wifi to Bluetooth and vice versa without interruption . So moving from house to end of garden should mean no messing about with buttons and restarting whatever you happened to be playing. This does not work because of as I understand security issues. However I know Sonos are working on a fix so will have to wait for update when available. Otherwise I do love the sound quality and flexibility of this clever little addition to the Sonos stable.

Roam is great little speaker, projects sound louder and wider than expected. Brilliant quality. Arrived earlier than expected with smart home sounds, would order through them again, especially with the 6 year warranty on sonos devices
