Introducing Roam Colors

There is some SVC functionality over Bluetooth.

When in Bluetooth mode, voice requests are limited to basic product controls. You can ask to:

• Pause or unpause the music
• Increase or decrease the volume
• Mute or unmute
• Skip to the next track, go back to the previous track, or restart the current track
• Check the battery level

Was hoping for a little more with the way SVC worked if it was different but get it because not accessible through Sonos app. Still holding out hope at some point paid Sonos HD Radio subscribers will have access to those stations over wifi. 

Ok, I know I am an annoying pusher but really wish Sonos would come out with a branded case or sleeve especially ones that match the new colors as well. Amazon has some decent ones (have one for my current black Roam) but I think they are missing a nice “Apple” opportunity by not. For what it’s worth. 

Thanks SarahN,  I realise my post was a bit ambiguous. I meant the battery life over its lifetime. I think they said the Move was about 3 years but that's replaceable (although I've had mine not far off 3 years and it's fine). 

Cheers, Jacob

@jacob_7 - aaaah, I see what you mean. Now that I have no idea about and admit to having slight concerns too as I don’t think you can change the Roam’s battery. I guess we will have to wait and see and see if Sonos do offer any kind of replacement service.

Can anyone share real world pictures of the new colors. Just trying to get an idea. Have Sunset on order. 

Here is my blue one 😊

Received my new Roam Sunset for my daughter. Couple of observations. I like the color (the daughter likes it as well); it is more subtle and subdued red/orange than the pictures make it out to be but that’s not a bad thing as then it works in a lot of different color environments. Also, I owe an, “I stand corrected” regarding the white base. It actually looks good mostly because of the white Sonos lettering acting as an accent color. Not bad. After I saw the photo I realized embarrassingly how dusty it was as I shifted the mat and she had a doohickie there. Needless to say she will be dusting when she gets home...😲 Final observation, she’s a college student home for summer and will primarily be using it as a bluetooth speaker and I think it will be perfect. It’s nearly impossible to create networks in dorms, she can use it with her phone and her computer to Bluetooth/AirPlay 2 out and take it to friends rooms, etc..

@Jeffrey_35 very nice! 😃 I’m planning to get my daughter and her boyfriend a pair of Roams for their little flat as they can then use them separately or in a stereo pair. Plus they live by the sea here in the UK and could take one down to the beach. Would you get the same colour for both or 2 different? That red/orange colour is definitely going to be one (or both). They do like colour and have quite a colourful décor in their flat.

@SarahN that’s a great question. If they are going to be in the same room constantly then probably the same but if they are going in different rooms I think you have some flexibility.
