Great, but not flawless.

First things first, I bought this at GBP154.00 it seems to have gone up to GBP227 at the time of writing. It's well worth GBP150. But at GBP220, I'm not so sure. Secondly, I bought it at 20:00 in the evening on 5 day saver and it arrived at 11:00 the...

Logitech Squeezebox Boom review

By Rosemary Hattersley (pcadvisor.co.uk)

Award: RECOMMENDED

Logitech's Squeezebox Boom is an attractive network music streamer and internet radio with sharp looks and great speakers.

We really liked the Logitech Squeezebox Boom, though arguably setup and feature navigation on the largely similar Philips NP2900 product was easier still. It’s a chunkier device than the Philips but would still fit neatly on a shelf or bedside table...

Logitech Squeezebox Boom

By Edward Chester (trustedreviews.com)

Got a large digital music collection you want to access around the home? The Squeezebox Boom could be right up your street.

The Logitech Squeezebox Boom is undoubtedly an impressive device that would make for the perfect accompaniment to an existing Squeezebox setup. On its own, though, it doesn't quite master everything and some might find its initial setup and controls a...

That said, once set up, it does work and for its diminutive size the sound quality is excellent.

Logitech Squeezebox Boom review

By Nate Lanxon (cnet.co.uk)

Simply put, this is the finest networked audio streamer we've ever seen. It's easy to use, beautifully designed and packed with features to an almost ludicrous extent

Vast codec support ; Terrific PC software ; Simple operation ; Last.fm integration ; Podcast support

No support for DRMed WMA files ; Headphone socket unusally positioned

If you want all this functionality without speakers, so it can be hooked up to your home hi-fi system, check out the equally spectacular Logitech Squeezebox Duet. It's the same SqueezeCenter software and is essentially just the Boom hardware, minus the...

Logitech Squeezebox Boom Network Music System

By Siddharth Bhatia (tech2.com)

A compact, well built product with great sound quality even in wireless mode, but heavy on the pocket.

Great sound quality.; Good number of features

Quite expensive

At Rs. 19,995 the product gets its first major red mark, and that is VFM. The price quoted is a little hefty. The features are great, and the sound quality is better than I expected it to be so if price is not an issue, then this product has many...
