battery is fully charged, the Sonos Roam has a battery life of approximately 10 hours.\u00a0The color options of the novelty are traditional for Sonos: the speaker will be released in black or white.<\/p>\n<p>The first Sonos Roam is expected by April 20, the new product will cost $ 170 in the US, and by adding 50 more, it can be equipped with a docking station for wireless
