Fantastic for use as AirPlay jambox
I have been waiting for this product for months as I saw it at CES and thought it would be a good fit for my needs. The setup usin g an iPhone/iPod was super easy and the QuickStart guide does an adequate job of guiding the user through it. The only potential issue for a lot of people will be the IP address that Philips instructs the user to use as it's commonly used by a number of devices and if they are not turned off (modems, etc.), the setup link will not come up.
The sound is as to be expected for such a small unit. Not bad at all and light years beyond what was possible a decade ago but still, "there's no replacement for displacement" we always used to say.
I'm just thrilled to have a rechargeable, portable, Airplayable solution that doesn't look like a dogs breakfast. Bravo Philips for the whole Fidelio line. …- Written by Charles Kevin M from Arlington

Great when they work.
Looks great. Sounds great.
Airplay constantly drops out when playing from iPad 1, iPad 2, and all iPhone's. It will drop several times during one song, extremely frustrating to the point it is unusable for iPad & iPhones which is why this was purchased.
Very odd behavior considering Airplay works flawlessly from MacPro, iMac and MacBook Pro on same Wifi network as the iPads & iPhones. …- Written by Mary W from CHICAGO

Great portable soundbox!
Bought this sound box with my wife 2 weeks ago. And it has been in use ever since by everyone in the house, streaming their audio from iPods, iPad, PC, etc.
Great sound, very nice design, and box - or better mention ring - can be easily picked up and put everywhere for convenience of listening. Everyone who sees it, loves it. …- Written by Jan Willem V from Son en Breugel

Philips Fidelio Sound Ring
Have had one for about a year now and would like to share the following:
Good sound in mid and highs - could be a bit better in the bass;
Nice look and feel;
Good quality mechanical build.
Would give it four out of five stars if not for the following:
Complicated wireless setup and lousy connection stability in general, in particular does not work on my 802.11n router when in N-only mode;
Confusing statements by Philips support about capabilities of the device in general and availability of firmware upgrades.
Philips needs to deliver more considering the [$$$] price point. …- Written by Ferdinand S from North Vancouver
