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....

What's the advantage of a speaker being able to connect with WiFi, and also be able to pair via bluetooth? If your device is already using WiFi, why should the speaker also have to use WiFi? Not sure I understand how this works. > > On Jul 18, 2021, at 12:01 PM, Sieghard Weitzel <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of > Richard Turner > Sent: Saturday, July 17, 2021 11:15 AM > To: [email protected] > 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. > > 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.
