Sonos is undoubtedly one of the best choices when you are looking for a multi-room audio system.
Their products are renowned for audio quality paired with a great user experience. The Sonos Roam is the company’s portable smart speaker.
It is completely waterproof, meaning you can place it in your bathroom or take it to a pool party without any worries.
Sonos claims that the Roam will provide around 10 hours of audio playback and 10 days of battery backup when in standby mode.
But reports suggest otherwise. Several users on the Sonos community forum are complaining that the Sonos Roam suffers from a serious battery drain issue when in standby mode.
Roam users say that their battery drains at a rapid pace and lasts only a day or two before giving up.
While turning off the speaker entirely increases it by some days, but even then the battery does not last 10 days as advertised.
Users are frustrated over Sonos’ lack of response on the matter. Currently, the only way to use the Sonos Roam is by charging it with a USB C cable when using the portable speaker.
We hope Sonos acknowledges the Roam battery drain issue and fixes it via a software update if possible.
