Sonos, the audio technology firm, has drawn attention amid reports of overheating issues in its first-generation Roam portable speakers. Users have shared incidents of melted USB-C charging ports, charred cables, and even instances of devices catching fire. The company acknowledged the problem in a statement, noting a "very low" number of complaints but confirming proactive measures such as software updates and hardware adjustments. Despite no official recall, the controversy adds to the company’s recent challenges, including a leadership overhaul and a problematic app update that disrupted operations in 2024.

Customer responses to the overheating issue have varied, with some receiving replacements or discounts. The company advises owners to avoid prolonged charging and ensure proper ventilation for the devices. The incident raises concerns about product reliability, particularly for a brand seeking to rebuild trust after a series of setbacks. While Sonos has not issued a formal recall, the growing visibility of user reports on forums and social media could impact its reputation and investor sentiment.
