Sonos confirms reports of Roam speakers overheating [Update: Sonos responds]

Sonos Roam review: A portable speaker you’ll want to take everywhere.

Update: Sonos confirmed the problem to Tom's Guide and provided some answers on why. Read on to find out.

Sonos can't seem to catch a break. In the last few days, a number of first-gen Sonos Roam owners have reported the Bluetooth speakers are overheating and, in some cases, partially melting or setting on fire.

The company acknowledged the problem in a statement to Bloomberg while saying that there are a "very low" number of complaints that the company has "closely tracked." The company is not issuing a recall at this time.
