Philips Izzy BM5

 

The Philips Izzy BM5 is the latest attempt to make multiroom audio accessible. The BM5 is the first among a whole range of "Izzylink" speakers to appear in 2016, which will use the same system.

Fairly affordable ; Cute design ; Simple multiroom skills

Lifeless, undynamic mids ; Nuts ’n’ bolts multiroom won’t appeal to all ; Not portable ; Harsh edge to sound at higher volumes

Philips' faff-free multiroom system is let down by pretty uninspiring sound quality.

Particularly uninspiring sound. Huge sound delays

 

Bought 2 of these for xmas as a present for my Daughter the sound is very flat and volume levels are poor. After connecting to her laptop the huge sound delays make watching any videos impossible. An all round disappointment. I'll stick with Sonos....
