If you thought boiling your coffee in a USB-C port was the height of absurdity, wait until you hear about the Sonos Roam! Some users have reported their beloved portable speakers heating up near the USB-C port like they’re trying to get into a summer beach party.
Picture it: you’re cruising through your favorite playlist, when suddenly, *BAM*—the Roam turns into a mini sauna. According to reports surfacing on Reddit (because where else would tech drama unfold?), these little gremlins might be more prone to overheating than your latest smartphone during a charging frenzy.
A spokesperson for Sonos has waved the banner of reassurance, stating that they’ve tracked a ‘limited number’ of reports and that the overall incident rate is very low. Apparently, environmental conditions might be contributing to the fiery situation, so if you’re jamming out in a sauna, well, that explains it!
In response, Sonos has promised some proactive magic in the form of software updates and hardware improvements to put out the fires (figuratively, we hope!) and ease our overzealous Roam experience. But hey, let’s hope those updates don’t inadvertently make the speaker start singing its own funeral dirge!
So, if you’re a Roam user, keep an eye on those hot zones and maybe invest in a little fan? Or perhaps just stick to your trusty vinyl records for now?
What say you, fellow audiophiles? Have you experienced the sounds of sizzling speakers?
