1 change(s): 1 moderate | Durability score severely impacted by widespread user reports of units 'bricking' within 1 year of normal use across multiple Reddit threads and Sonos Community forums. Multiple users report 3-4 units failing with connection/power issues. Some positive long-term reviews (2+ years) exist but are outnumbered by failure reports. Material quality score reflects reliability concerns and connection/button responsiveness issues reported. Brand reputation signal reflects Sonos' generally positive history but significantly damaged by Roam product line's apparent quality control issues and user frustration. Limited technical specifications available in search results regarding actual material composition.
