Sonos is having overheating issues with a "very low" number of its Roam
speakers. Bloomberg reports that some users' portable Bluetooth speakers are
overheating around the device's USB-C port. The company has not recalled any
products as a result but it aware of the issue happening.

"WeΓÇÖve closely tracked a limited number of reports involving the USB-C
charging connection on some first-generation Sonos Roam speakers," Sonos said
in a statement shared with Engadget. "While the overall incidence rate is
very low, and environmental conditions appear to play a role, weΓÇÖve taken
several proactive steps to even further reduce the likelihood of this issue,
including software updates and accessory improvements."

The issue appears to be centered on the original model of the Sonos Roam that
debuted in 2021; the Sonos Roam 2 offered some upgrades over that version
when it rolled out last spring.
