RE: A Bluetooth Speaker question
You can't stereo pair a Sonos Roam and another speaker, it would have to be two Sonos Roam speakers. A single Roam speaker is mono, there really isn't much point in trying to get stereo sound out of a 6-inch long speaker, but nonetheless it sounds pretty impressive. As for Airplay 2, as far as I know you can send your iPhone's output to multiple Airplay 2 speakers, but of course if you were to put two totally different speakers into a single room 5 or 6 feet apart you still wouldn't get stereo sound if each speaker didn't support this and with different characteristics I am not sure this would sound all that great. This would be more useful if you want to play the same thing in two different rooms, sort of a way to do this without a Sonos system with speakers in different rooms, but I actually haven't tried this since I have Sonos speakers everywhere in the house. The Roam and its larger brother, the Move, both also support Alexa or Google Assistant. You can't have both active at the same time, but you can choose which one you want to set up and change that if you want. I think I read that with iOS 15 Apple is also opening up access to SIRI so I wouldn't be surprised if you soon will be able to set up your Sonos speakers with SIRI, I know when Sonos first introduced Alexa support some years ago they told me that their goal was to support all the major digital assistants. This is another nice thing with Sonos, you get regular software updates so new features are easily added unless you have some of the really old hardware which can't support it, but even people who have such speakers can still use them with the S1 controller, they don't have he latest features like auto TruePlay tuning which is also available on the Roam, but their system continues to function.

RE: A Bluetooth Speaker question
As far as connecting as stereo pairs, you can do that through the Sonos app quite easily. I suspect if you had two Sonos Roam’s you could do that and then spread them out for a wider stereo experience….but I’m not buying a second one to test that theory. I’ve never tried playing two different speakers over Airplay 2 since I don’t have 2 different airplay 2 speakers. Again, with Sonos, I can elect to play my iPhone over just the speakers in my office, or any combination of the speakers in the house.

They also connect over Wi-Fi with Airplay. Using Airplay, allows you to keep VoiceOver on your device, do whatever else you want on your phone while the media is playing through Airplay. What I discovered with some Bluetooth devices, and the Roam is one, if in the Bluetooth settings, under more info for that speaker, you set the type to Speaker, as opposed to headphones, then VoiceOver also stays on the iDevice, but all sounds, incoming texts, mail, etc., will also play over the Bluetooth speaker. With Airplay, only the media you elect to play will come over the speaker.

RE: A Bluetooth Speaker question
Richard said it well, there really is no installation required unless you want the speakers wall mounted in which case you or somebody else would have to find a stud in your wall and screw the wall mount onto the wall. Apart from that you just find a shelf or whatever else to put the speaker on and your only requirement would be that you are near a wall outlet so you can plug it in, but of course you could use an extension cord if you are too far. Once the speaker is plugged in you open the app and it will recognize the new speaker and tell you what to do. Richard called the app "quite accessible", I am not sure what the "quite" part is because I think it is fully and entirely accessible and easy to use. I actually find it is so easy and well done that it's quite fun to set up a new speaker. You can start with any speaker Sonos makes whether it's a Roam or a single Sonos SL and add anything else to it whenever you have the money or feel like it.

By now Sonos has a very large and complete selection of speakers for all rooms and uses from the two portable speakers to the Sonos SL which is basically the size of a Sonos Move but not portable (all of these speakers can also be set up as a stereo pair if you have two of the same), then you have the Sonos One which is like the Sonos SL but it has microphones and you can set it up either with Alexa or the Google Assistant. Then you have the Sonos Five which is a much larger speaker, more like a traditional boombox and you can use a single Five in horizontal orientation or, if you have two of them, place them upright to work as a stereo pair. Next is the TV surround setup for the living room which consists of either the smaller Beam soundbar or the much larger Arc soundbar, both are capable of Dolby Atmos sound and you get the best result if you add a set of Sonos SL as rear speakers and the Sonos wireless Sub as a subwover. The Beam and Arc of course would be placed underneath your TV, the rear speakers would be behind you and can be wall mounted and the Sonos Sub is about the size of a desktop tower, but it weighs a little over 35 pounds and despite I ts compact size it's an absolutely amazing sub. You can even add a second Sub to the setup for maximum base. Of course this is not a cheap system, an Arc soundbar, two Sonos SL rear speakers and a wireless Sub sold as a surround package here in Canada is I think somewhere around $23,50, in USD I think around $1,600 or $1,700. Sonos also has a partnership with Ikea and they have just released a digital picture frame which also acts as a Sonos speaker, not sure if it has the digital assistant capability and I along with many other Sonos fans who have had their system for a long time (I bought my first Sonos gear in 2009) are all holding our breath for a headset which may really be coming in the next year or so, finally. It's expected that this would be a full-size over the ear design in the $500 or so price range, but again also capable of being a "zone" in a Sonos system. This means I can play any music or audio book directly on it or, if my wife is watching TV and I want to listen but do something in the kitchen I can group it with the living room and listen in to the same thing.

RE: A Bluetooth Speaker question
You should go to www.sonos.com and simply read about the Sonos music system. Richard mentioned the Sonos Roam because he has recently become a "Sonos convert" and I think very much enjoys the experience just as pretty much everybody who has a Sonos system does. The short answer is that Sonos is a lot more than a speaker, the Roam is just their latest or at least almost latest edition to their line-up of high quality multi-room speakers. Sonos speakers use WiFi because they are part of a music system of speakers who talk to each other and while all the new speakers released in the last few years are Airplay 2 capable, it used to be the case that you really only used your iPhone and the Sonos app as a remote to control your system. Sonos connects to a huge list of paid and free music services including all the popular ones like Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube Music, Tune In, iHeart Radio and so on and also can connect to Audible and AudioBooks.com. If you are at home you then simply select the room where you want to play music and what music you want to play and it will play.

RE: A Bluetooth Speaker question
I do not know the general answer, but in the case of the Sonos Roam, as part of the Sonos echo system, most other Sonos speakers are Wi-Fi only and are designed to be connected only to your home/business wi-fi. They also connect over Wi-Fi with Airplay. Using Airplay, allows you to keep VoiceOver on your device, do whatever else you want on your phone while the media is playing through Airplay. What I discovered with some Bluetooth devices, and the Roam is one, if in the Bluetooth settings, under more info for that speaker, you set the type to Speaker, as opposed to headphones, then VoiceOver also stays on the iDevice, but all sounds, incoming texts, mail, etc., will also play over the Bluetooth speaker. With Airplay, only the media you elect to play will come over the speaker. If you have other Sonos speakers, you can add the Roam to your home system and switch back to it after being out and about with bluetooth HTH, Richard Software means never having to say you're finished Web site: www.turner42.com -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Duane Steele Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2021 9:26 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: A Bluetooth Speaker question Which brings up another question.

Re: A Bluetooth Speaker question
Most airplay to compatible speakers are only available through Wi-Fi. Bluetooth can always be used even without Wi-Fi. But I don’t quite understand your question. In general, I find that the airplay to devices work better than the Bluetooth devices. However, I’m not really sure if that’s what you’re asking about either. Give me some more information and I’ll try to help you figure it out it is confusing when to use what and what works with what. *** MQ *** ***270-776-9871 *** From: Mickey Quenzer Sent: Sunday, July 18, 2021 11:40:32 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: A Bluetooth Speaker question Tell me what Bose speakers you have?

RE: A Bluetooth Speaker question
Well, one thing I would take advantage of if a speaker was on wifi and supported ChromeCast is that I could send whatever stream I'm listening to on my phone over to the speaker and Chromecast would take over and I could then use my phone for whatever I want. The phone is not connected to the speaker and the stream is going straight to the speaker. In fact, one thing on my wish list is to get headphones that are also smart and on wifi. That way I could Chromecast to my headphones and then wonder around my house without having to worry about where my phone is. I could also just use the smart feature on the headphones to start playing a stream, start a timer or ask Siri something.

Keep in mind that while the Sonos Roam can work as a Bluetooth speaker it is meant to work on WiFi when you are at home and if you want to play something that is playing on your iPhone you would use Airplay to send it to the speaker. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Saturday, July 17, 2021 11:15 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: A Bluetooth Speaker question Well, the Sonos Roam, which is both Wi-Fi and Buetooth, has aprox. 10 hours of battery life on a full charge, has tone settings if you go through the Sonos app. You can turn on or off the Loudness feature that boosts the base for everything; which I find will cause it to clip at anything but a very low volume.

RE: A Bluetooth Speaker question
Well, the Sonos Roam, which is both Wi-Fi and Buetooth, has aprox. 10 hours of battery life on a full charge, has tone settings if you go through the Sonos app. You can turn on or off the Loudness feature that boosts the base for everything; which I find will cause it to clip at anything but a very low volume. But, it actually has settings to adjust the base and treble on a slider that works. We have other Sonos speakers, so it made sense to get this one. $169. And has been pointed out, there are some very basic settings in the music app on the iPhone. And quite a few pre-set settings for different styles of music in there as well.

Re: A Bluetooth Speaker question
There are settings under the music app on your iPhone. Those settings only control the music that you are playing from your iPhone. They will not control other applications. You go under settings general and music.
