This pushed me over the edge. I am heavy into the Sonos world and was thinking about a Roam for my bathroom and travel. I like the idea of a case on it for when I'm traveling.
The bass is deep, but overall sounds muffled as if someone put a towel over the speakers. The app and the power on/off, setup process is not easy - it is not the simple plug and play you expect it to be. Maybe it's my fault getting older, but overall, it's quite complicated for the average user in my opinion. These speakers should be less than 50 bucks at most.

Sound quality on the Roam is decent but not great. There's clarity but not oomph. Like any speaker its performance is limited by size. The bass is lacking and at higher volumes the sound gets a bit muddied. But the build quality is solid and at lower volumes it performs well.
It doesn't feel like a massive improvement over the Bose but I'll keep it because it wasn't too pricey and for the convenience factor of always on/Alexa and better travel capabilities.
Definitely the least impressive of the Sonos products I've used so far.
