If I had the regular sub I would be getting complaints from downstairs neighbors too.
The unfortunate thing is Sonos knows that they have a problem with the Roam- however they won't do anything about it unless they are pressed hard.
I understand that newer models of portable Sonos speakers are being designed with easily replaceable batteries.
Which was a shame because I was sold on it based on a buddy who brought one camping. The sound was fantastic, the size perfect, and the battery life plenty acceptable for it's portability. Maybe I got a lemon, but I was sore disappointed to have to send it back.
TL/DR: great speaker and worth it at this price if it doesn't have the issues we faced.

If you are running your 5 and 2.4 on the same SSID name, that may be the problem and that's not an issue with just Roam. When a wireless device isn't getting good signals on one frequency, it will try to switch to another.
Heads up -- On a separate note, the battery on my roam died "exactly" 2 days its 2 year purchase anniversary. It just refused to hold its charge -- and I am not the only one. If you go on the Sonos support site, it's apparently a common problem

I don't currently have a record player and I'm not an audiophile, I just don't want clutter, wires or another set of speakers. I have a nice set of towers in my theater room, but have no interest in setting up to listen to music in that room.
