Default Boom Audio issues?

Stopped by the dealer to check out the Boom Audio sound. One staff person mentioned an intermittent issue with music cutting out and suggested holding off on a purchase. Is anyone having an issue, and is the fix something as simple as a firmware or other upgrade?

Thanks, I see you're the audiophile around these parts. Ride a Switchback so considering a handlebar mount system. I saw Shark and J&M mentioned in other threads. Any thoughts on these:

Since the FLD bags space is limited I will likely stay way from mounting speaker in them.

They're good peeps and not the first time they've helped me out with advice that was best for me, but may not have been the best (at the time) for the dealer. In the long run it helps them, cuz I keep going back.
