Why is Bluetooth stereo pairing still not possible with two Roam SLs?

I recently contacted Sonos Support and was told this feature might eventually be added through a future update. Honestly, I really hope Sonos listens to the community on this one.

The Roam SL is almost the PERFECT portable speaker:

  • compact
  • lightweight
  • great sound
  • easy to travel with

But there’s one huge missing feature:

👉 Using TWO Roam SLs as a true stereo pair in Bluetooth mode.

Right now, stereo pairing only works over Wi-Fi inside the Sonos ecosystem. But when traveling, hiking, staying in hotels, going to the beach, camping, or simply listening outdoors, Wi-Fi is often unavailable or inconvenient.

Imagine how amazing this would be:

  • put two Roam SLs in a backpack
  • connect directly via Bluetooth
  • enjoy real left/right stereo sound anywhere

Many other portable speaker brands already support Bluetooth stereo pairing, so it feels like the hardware should absolutely be capable of it.

This would make the Roam SL one of the BEST ultra-portable stereo setups on the market.

If other users would also love this feature, please comment and support this request so Sonos can see there is real demand for it.

This is exactly the kind of software update that could massively improve the Roam experience without requiring new hardware.

Come on Sonos — please make it happen.

Sonos rarely announces new products or features much in advance of their release so I don’t thing the agent you spoke really knew if or when this might be available. 
 

I’m sure a moderator will be along soon to thank you for your suggestion and to say they’ll pass the idea to the relevant folk within Sonos. 


But don’t hold your breath whilst waiting for it 😜

You say: “Many other portable speaker brands already support Bluetooth stereo pairing, so it feels like the hardware should absolutely be capable of it.”

Since Sonos also supports this feature on other speakers (the Play for example), I suspect the fact Sonos did not roll out this feature to the Roam means it isn’t software related, but hardware related.
