    Amazing Sound!

    • Written by from San Diego

    I am actually very thrilled about the sound this speaker produces but i'll start with the setup.
    Speaker setup was flawless - you connect to your speaker by wi-fi with phone or mac and you set it up to connect to your home network and it's ready to be used! No volume controls, no buttons and thank goodness no remotes or dock connectors - i don't want another remote in my house! you can control it by iPhone/iPad/Mac, etc - easy!
    Sound quality is impressive! It is very meaty and crisp - it produces more bass than i expected! i suggest you download libratone app for your iPhone so you can setup sound - it makes huge difference, you can go from natural to customized sound setups which NOTICEABLY will be heard. This speaker is louder than i thought - i actually haven't tried to turn it all the way up because i am afraid my neighbors will go nuts, about 3/4 of the volume is plenty in my living room.

    now i am thinking of getting another one or two to put them all around my house so i can have even sound all around the house.

    Black/Blueberry color is ok while it probably will fit with most rooms/designs i think i will wait for the gray or natural colors before ordering another one, personally i am not a big fan of this particular color since most speakers are black i am simply tired of same black color.     …More

    Best wireless speaker

    • Written by from San Francisco

    I have tested and tried multiple wireless speakers, and the speakers (I bought both the small and the large one) from Libratone are simply amazing - not only in design - but in sound! I was sick and tired of remote controls, and my wife of clumsy amplifiers and cables. This is why we went wireless. This sleek design matches our home perfectly (the cover is actually cashmere!!), and the fact that we can control the music with our iDevices is just.. need and _very_ simple! :)

    My only issue is that I cant get the speakers in red. I really wanted that. I can see on the libratone website that they have speakers in other colors in other stores. Would have liked that.     …More

    Great Speaker!

    • Written by from PHILADELPHIA

    I'm the kind of person that almost always feels a bit of buyer's remorse. However, I don't feel any with this speaker. It's small form factor takes up very little space next to the TV. We find it's cloth exterior is pleasantly non techy, which makes it's wireless features that much more surprising. AirPlay set up was very simple. The sound quality is great to my ear; which is something we've struggled with in this large, high ceilinged, and brick walled room. We've had totally stable playback with no dropped signal. It's breathed new life into our old music collection. Thanks apple for AirPlay and thanks Libratone for giving it life. What an amazing world we live in! …More

    Disappointing

    • Written by from Brasilia

    After reading all positive reviews and seeing the speakers amazing design in person, I decided to take one home. It indeed looks great in my room, but the sound isn't nearly as good as I expected. Using any of the three sound presets from the iOS app, it does not sound as good as my (rather basic) computer speakers out of the box and requires careful equalizing (especially for mid-ranges). Also, even if you follow all placement recommendations, the stereo effect is mostly lost, there is no way this can be considered "surround sound". It's quite loud and ok for casual music listening, but if you expect high quality stereo sound I would look somewhere else. Finally, as I have other non-Apple devices I like to stream from (eg Android phone), I miss the Bluetooth capability of my previous speakers, that could be included in a product in this price range. …More

    Wireless Issues!! READ THIS!!

    • Written by from Grand Rapids

    After days of research in looking for the best airplay speaker setup for a small room, I found these units. This is the best rated speakers I could find with great sound quality and design (they look amazing). However, the support structure at Libratone is horrendous. On their website they do not provide a phone number to contact support. They also don't provide detailed specs of their products. When I received my units (I bought 5), I found the packaging and instructions easy to follow. However, once I attempted to connect to my wireless network, the speaker showed and error. I tried three times and finally gave up and emailed support. It took them a week to respond to my initial email. The verdict.....
    "The use of special characters such as #, &, %, or any national characters in your SPEAKER NAME, WIRELESS NETWORK NAME or WIRELESS NETWORK PASSWORD is not supported. If you use these characters please replace them with alphanumeric characters only." Libratone Support.
    As an IT professional, I can tell you, special characters in a password line is a requirement. To find a device that does not support that is unacceptable. To have to wait an entire week to hear back from the support department at a company is unacceptable. While waiting for the reply I did get a chance to setup an un-secured wireless network and test this device. I will say, these speakers sound amazing. The amount of customization to the sound with the iOS app is amazing as well. All in all, these speakers are nice, but with poor support and faulty wireless coding.     …More

    AirPlay Kills This Great Speaker

    • Written by from New York

    Total disappointment as it’s not ready for Airplay from an iPod touch or iPhone 4S; Sporadic connection and rather disappointing performance, to say the least. Once Apple gets a handle on their new AirPlay technology this is the speaker to buy in its class. …More
