    Fantastic for use as AirPlay jambox

    • Written by from Arlington

    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 using 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.     …More

    Great when they work.

    • Written by from CHICAGO

    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.     …More

    Doesn't work well with iPhones/iPads

    • Written by from Cupertino

    If you stick this really close to the wireless router, it works. Else it will drop constantly and not work for the most part. Needs a firmware update from Philips. I ended up using this with an AirPort Express. …More

    Philips Fidelio Sound Ring

    • Written by from North Vancouver

    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.     …More
