    Audio Nerdom!

    • Written by from Eagle River

    I just got my Libratone Zipp last week and have managed to fall in love with an inanimate object. As an audio engineer/audiophile I've been looking for a good airplay speaker. When AirPlay technology originally surfaced, I was a bit of a skeptic but this purchase has changed my position all together. Though the speaker is a bit costly, the clear balanced-tone Libratone has manged to achieve is enough to sooth those "empty wallet blues." The "PlayDirect" feature is one of my favorite features this product has to offer. Most airplay speakers require a wifi network to enable the airplay capability, and because of PlayDirect, I purchased the Zipp over another. I hope you enjoy this purchase as much as I am enjoying mine right now!

    Great Speaker Flawed Design

    • Written by from Houston

    I loved my zipp, but after only a couple of days the power button was mashed in and the speaker required a return. Apple refunded my money.

    Building portable speakers requires more than just aesthetics for intelligent design it takes industrial thought. I had noticed that the power button was flimsy when my zipp first arrived, and after travelling with it found out that it truly was. :(

    Hopefully B&W or B&O options work out better for me.     …More
