I\u2019ve been a fan of SONOS speakers for quite some time. I bought my first pair of SONOS Play One speakers back in 2015. Since then, I\u2019ve created a SONOS home theater system and bought a few more SONOS Fives for my living room and bedroom. <\/span><\/p>\n When my portable <\/span>JBL Flip 3<\/span><\/a> died a few months ago, I went looking for a replacement. Since I already have a bunch of SONOS speakers, it seemed natural to go for one more. I was choosing between <\/span>SONOS Move<\/span><\/a> and SONOS Roam and, since Roam is more compact, I went for it. And I was pleasantly surprised. <\/span><\/p>\n I was able to integrate it into my existing SONOS multiroom system in just a few minutes. <\/span>Bluetooth pairing<\/span><\/a> was also a breeze. However, if you are new to the SONOS ecosystem, setting up SONOS Roam and pairing it to a Bluetooth source can be a bit confusing. <\/span><\/p>\n In this post, <\/span>I will explain how to perform the initial setup of your SONOS Roam, how to enable Bluetooth pairing and <\/b>pair it with your phone<\/b><\/a> or laptop, and finally, how to troubleshoot pairing issues<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n SONOS Roam is not like other Bluetooth speakers because it\u2019s not just a Bluetooth speaker. It\u2019s also a smart speaker with Wi-Fi and multiroom capabilities, just like all the other SONOS speakers. <\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s why you need to perform the initial setup using the SONOS S2 app and your Wi-Fi connection. After that, you won\u2019t need Wi-Fi to connect it to your Bluetooth device (phone, PC, tablet). <\/span><\/p>\n So, after the initial setup, you can use it just like any other Bluetooth speaker. But there\u2019s no way to bypass this first step. So, let\u2019s start.<\/b><\/p>\n Download and install the <\/span>SONOS S2 app<\/span><\/a> onto your device. SONOS has apps for these operating systems: macOS, Windows, <\/span>iOS<\/span><\/a>, and Android.<\/span><\/p>\n
