Vision Pro - Right Speaker Overheating

Hello HenryMelkor!

This may be a hardware issue, but the fact the others are experiencing this too, it makes it seem like a software issue. You should probably try updating to the latest version as of now (visionOS 1.0.3).

If the problem persists, try turning it on and back off.

If you are still experiencing the same issue, contact the Official Apple Support.

I hope this helps!

the right speaker in my Vision Pro has overheated and started making popping noises twice in the first week.

Same here. One day it stopped working but rebooting the device seemed to fix it. Now it's always warm or hot, even when Apple Vision Pro is not in use.

My right speaker was very hot this morning after being plugged in and left charging overnight, now sound is dead in both speakers but AirPod pros still work. Contacted Apple support but no solution yet.

I bought this two days back. On the second day the inbuilt speaker stopped working. The right speaker started heating up, i was afraid that it might catch fire. I took it to Apple Store and there they connected a debug probe and ran diagnostics. They found the speakers were not responding, they could not narrow down the root cause. The situation persisted across the reboots. I was given two options, return the device for full refund or they will send the device to an offsite facility to fix the problem and later they will ship the device home. The second option would void the 14 day return policy so I chose the first option. It was a very disappointing experience.

I also had the same issue. Left it charging overnight and noticed right speaker was extremely hot, I rebooted it waiting for it to cool down to start it. Both speakers never worked again. And mic also don’t work anymore as no response to Siri…

I also had my AVP replaced and now it doesn't get hot at all.

If you are experiencing this issue, just go to Apple Store and get it replaced.

This is a defective product definitely.

But fyi, if you run a diagnosis at the Apple Store, it will say no problem on the product with all green.

However, apple people can easily feel the hot on the right speaker and other demo products don't have such heat, they would just admit they need to do something for it.

Had the same issue and went to an Apple Store today. At first, they couldn't figure out how to service it. After calling Apple Support on the phone to try yo figure out, they insisted on extracting logs with the developers strap, even though it's a hardware issue. They couldn't do that either, since they didn't know how to use it. So they told me someone will call me later in the day to see what options there are. Getting a replaced AVP was not an option until mid march! This is an Apple Store in a big city, by the way (Atlanta). Really bad experience overall.

Same problem here, right strap overheats even when unit is plugged in but not turned on. Swapped the right strap with a friends AVP right strap and the issue moved to their AVP so its definitely a faulty strap. Been on the phone to apple support for nearly 2hrs now trying to find a way to have them send me a replacement strap to New Zealand where I am currently.. its not easy!!!

I received my Vision Pro on March 4, and today I am experienced the right speaker overheating problem. Tried rebooting, but it heats up again as soon as it is on for a while. I am running the latest visionOS version, 1.1.

If possible, you should probably make an appointment at an Apple Store to get it looked at.

I just experienced the same issue.

I’m having right speaker overheating as well.

I’m having the same overheating issue. A reboot did not help (a suggestion I saw on Reddit)
