What it does, it does competently; it just lacks any versatility

This little speaker sounds great, if you like a heavy bass line, which I do. I was able to connect it to my Pioneer system through DTS Playfi, and create a network in the house. The problem is that I cannot play Spotify through the P3, which is kinda...

The Polk Omni S2 is a well-priced, versatile Play-Fi speaker with decent sound quality, but Sonos' shadow looms large.

Yamaha’s bigger soundbase is packed with nifty features and fills your room with large-scale sound, but lacks the visual and sonic elegance of its rivals.

Can the Bose Cinemate 1SR live up to the hype around the brand's SoundDocks?

Judged not only by its maker’s high standards, but also by its leading rivals' efforts, this system is neither Apple nor hi-fi.

Some listeners may find the PDX-B11’s “clean and light” top end to their liking, but this speaker just isn’t our cup of tea, and not just because of its spitty treble. We’re still scratching our heads over the lack of a built-in rechargeable battery at...

Can the Sony SA-NS510 take the multi-room music crown from Sonos?

Compact, portable speaker system with good overall sound quality that is acceptable for speakers of this size. Audio distorts at higher volumes.

The Sound Kick’s audio quality isn’t bad, but that’s the highest praise I can offer it. Although the system’s dual 2.3-inch drivers offer decent performance and can get plenty loud, bass presence is negligible. I found that music too often tended to...

The Pioneer SP-SB23W is the best affordable sound bar if you care about sound quality, with its outstanding sonics making up for some of its design limitations.

We like the Harman Kardon Go + Play Micro iPod speaker dock for its simplicity and its kooky design. While that design is something that is likely to polarise fans - you'll either love it or think it's ugly - we personally think it really has enough...

As one might predict upon first glance, the Bean is a distortion factory on tracks with serious sub-bass content, like The Knife’s “Silent Shout.” The distortion creeps in at moderate volumes, and at high volumes completely overtakes the speaker—but...

Conclusions In this price range, we also like the splash-proof JBL Clip+ , which offers a similar audio experience for a bit less money. If you're looking for more bass, you can get a better sense of low-end if you spend a little more on a speaker like...

"The product in question is the i-box Max. This is the big and more powerful brother of the company’s Trax Bluetooth speaker which, as it titles might imply, features tank track-like treads running around the body of the speaker’s body. Fortunately,...

You can’t pay $100 for any speaker and expect a sonic masterpiece, especially when the speaker in question is very small and portable. You immediately should expect less bass presence. However, it’s not unreasonable to hope for some decent volume and...

JBL's On Tour is a good choice if you want great-sounding music to share on the road.

It’s well balanced and well built, but the Hive Evolution lacks the audio reach and upper sweetness of the best around

They come at a price, of course, but if you’re looking for good-sounding speakers that will take up minimal desk space and can go wherever you go, you could do a lot worse than cough up the cash for these.

The half moon design speaks about what to expect overall from the Pure Contour i1 Air Dock: it is a speaker that looks to blend into surroundings while being an everyday tool in your home or office environment. Compatible with a large range of App

The AudioStation is a standout product in the crowded field of one-piece, "desktop" iPod speaker systems. Like Tivoli Audio's iYiYi, the AudioStation includes useful non-iPod features such as an AM/FM radio and a clock. But it also competes with JBL's...

Performance and Conclusions Audio performance won't blow you away, but the Airbeat-10 is surprisingly good for a budget speaker. For starters, it gets pretty loud. It was easier to hear in the shower than the Kohler Moxie , and about on par with the...
