Customer Reviews and Ratings

A high quality product and easy to set up. I’m very fussy when it comes to sound and the quality, I have a high end amplifiers and speakers around the house, the airport express produces good quality sound for the MP3/digital format. If I am sitting down I might prefer to put on a CD however, now I’m in my 30’s this isn’t such a issue. Combine this with Match etc and you will be is seventh heathen.

After reading all of the positive reviews I was convinced enough to get it and what a good buy it was!! This small box is very neat at what it does, I got this to eliminate all of the uneat wires around the house. Works brilliantly with air play and air print, very easy to set up! The wifi extender works excellently, I was particularly impressed with that feature! And what makes it better is that it work with the bt homehub 3. I would 100% recommend this if you want to go wireless

Had my 802.11g model for many years and it still works great. Only problem is when the microwave oven is on and it interfere's with the signal causing dropouts. This is not Apple's fault as microwave ovens will often cause dropouts in the 2.4Ghz band. If you're in a pure 802.11n 5Ghz band (so not in mixed n/g mode) this problem should not exist. I will definitely buy another when, and if, this one bites these dust.

I hooked the AirPort Express up to a powerline adapter and set it up using my iPhone in 90 seconds. It worked straight away in a concrete house with thick walls. Terrific product.

Like so many other reviews, this product is very unreliable. When streaming music to my hi-fi it will cut out for no apparent reason and give me a flashing amber signal. If I unplug it and then plug back in it will sometimes work again, though at the time of writing that is not working either. Great concept but this product just does not work, I'm returning mine for a refund and try a non-Apple bluetooth streaming device for my hi-fi instead. I'd also add its quite expensive and the instructions to set it up are not easy to understand and did not explain how to connect the device to my existing W-Fi network.

when i play my music through this it keeps cutting out. what is the point of having this if you cant play music without hearing it now and again. waste of money. too expensive for something that doesnt work very good. i plug it in and i have to wait a while before its ready to use and when i start playing music its connecting for a while sometimes. when i play music there is a slight delay, not instant. c'mon apple, you can do better. listen to these reviews and sort this out. sometimes i unplug and back in but still cuts out.

I have 4 of these devices. I sometimes link one to my hi fi, but more usually attach small, battery powered powered speakers so that I can pipe music into 4 different rooms as well as the one with the iMac. Whole house hi fi - just brilliant!

Worked first time, up and running in 20 mins out of the box.

Works with all my gadgets, windows 7 PC, iPad 2 and iPod touch.

I have an old hi-fi with just phono inputs, as part of my home cinema.

I wanted to complete the sound excellence by having my iPad as a Juke Box.

No problem just followed instructions, and hey presto 20 mins later it was up and booming.

It has worked faultlessly since, no drop outs or orange light.

I have a BT router which connected easily once I turned its power on!

So far it has worked every time from turn on.

Fantastic box, I am about to buy more to link other rooms.

Hooked up to my aux to play through my home theatre, amazing, rated only 4 out of 5 as it took me an hour to set it up. Unlike most apple products which work straight out of the box - this one didn't. I put in the disk and did the set up and it said it was working but the amber light was flashing (which the trouble shooting said there was a problem). After a bit of swearing and playing around i manually set it up and it works perfectly. I only use it for playing iTunes from my ipad or iphone through my stereo system and it is super cool!
