Very Happy with this

 

We were looking for a wireless radio system to replace our ageing CD/iPod Radio and wanted to listen to the same music in several rooms. We also wanted to connect to our Hifi System and did not want to rely on Internet Radio as our broadband provider,...

ROBERTS R-Line R1 Wireless Smart Sound Multi-Room Speaker - White

 

It looks nice

You need a smart phone or device to use it, the sound quality is extremely poor and it consistently disconnects from the broadband despite us being on very good high speed fibre optic
