FAQs
Can I use the Sonos Roam 2 without Wi-Fi?

Is the Roam 2 fully waterproof?
The Sonos Roam 2 has an IP67 rating, meaning it is fully dustproof and can be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. It's designed to withstand splashes, rain, and drops in water, provided the USB-C port cover is sealed.
How long does the battery last?
The Sonos Roam 2 offers up to 10 hours of continuous playback on a single charge. Battery life may vary based on volume levels, audio content, and environmental factors.
Can I charge the Roam 2 wirelessly?
Yes, the Sonos Roam 2 supports fast wireless charging with any Qi-certified wireless charger or the custom-designed Sonos Roam 2 wireless charger, both of which are sold separately.
What is Automatic Trueplay and how does it work?
Automatic Trueplay is a feature that automatically tunes the speaker's sound based on its surroundings. It uses the speaker's microphones to analyze the acoustic environment and adjusts the EQ to deliver the best possible sound quality wherever you place it.
Can I pair two Sonos Roam 2 speakers for stereo sound?
Yes, you can pair two compatible Sonos speakers, including two Roam 2 units, together to create a stereo pair. This feature requires both speakers to be connected to Wi-Fi and configured through the Sonos app.
Troubleshooting
Sonos Roam 2 won't connect to Wi-Fi.
Ensure your Wi-Fi router is on and broadcasting. Move the speaker closer to the router. Restart both your Roam 2 and your router. Verify your Wi-Fi password is correct in the Sonos app. If issues persist, try factory resetting the Roam 2 and setting it up again via the Sonos app.
Bluetooth connection is dropping or unstable.
Ensure no other devices are trying to connect to the Roam 2. Move your connected device closer to the speaker. Clear previous Bluetooth connections from your device and the Roam 2, then re-pair them. Reduce potential interference from other wireless devices.
Speaker not turning on or charging.
Ensure the USB-C cable is fully inserted into both the speaker and a working power adapter (at least 5V/1.5A for charging). Try a different USB-C cable or power adapter. If using a wireless charger, ensure the speaker is correctly placed and the charger is powered on.
Sound quality is poor or distorted.
If on Wi-Fi, ensure Automatic Trueplay is enabled in the Sonos app. Adjust the equalizer settings in the app. If on Bluetooth, check the audio source quality. Ensure the speaker grille is clean and free of obstructions. Avoid placing the speaker in enclosed spaces that might muffle sound.
