Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100

A wireless speaker with AirPlay and Bluetooth for limitless audio streaming.

Top build quality ; Versatile streaming ; Not picky about placement

Quite pricey ; Sound lacks finesse

The Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100 is a top-quality device in most respects. It boasts excellent build quality and enough well-implemented features to make it truly versatile, if not truly portable. However, we were a little disappointed by the...

Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100 review

It might not look as fancy as certain other wireless speakers (step forward B&W A5), but the Minx Air 100 makes up for this in other ways. As well as supporting AirPlay, it also plays nicely with non-Apple devices thanks to the inclusion of Bluetooth...

Although it isn't a portable speaker, the Minx Air 100 is one of the most versatile wireless speakers around. Its ho-hum looks matter not when you consider it has apt-X Bluetooth and AirPlay support, and it sounds great to boot. You can get better...

Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100 looks prettier than it sounds

It's a great-looking wireless speaker that supports Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Internet radio, but the Minx Air 100's sound quality is underwhelming, especially for its price.

The ; is an attractive wireless speaker, with an understated design that blends well into most environments. It supports both Bluetooth and AirPlay, plus it can directly stream Internet radio without the need for a separate mobile device.

The Minx Air 100 doesn't sound as good as other speakers in its price class. Despite the handle on the back, it's not truly a portable speaker, as it lacks a built-in battery. AirPlay setup can be slightly difficult for networking neophytes.

The Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100 is a great-looking speaker that supports Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Internet radio, but its sound quality is underwhelming, especially for its price.

Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100 review

We can remember when it were all iPod docks round 'ere, but thetraditional approach is fast making way for wireless AirPlayenabled devices such as Brit-born Cambridge Audio's Minx Air100.

Terrific build quality, convenient and easy to set up anduse

Not the highest of fi, no alarm clock functions, not cheap

The Minx Air 100 is a well-built, good-looking audiostreamer that offers a hassle-free way to play your music fromyour computer, smartphone or tablet. It does internet radio (thoughyou'll need an app to control it) and it can deliver...

Review: Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100

Here at OxGadgets we love a good speaker. We love it even more if it is wireless, and we love it if comes with a list of features. What is[...]

So, what do we think of this? A beautiful device, which works well in any environment. The price puts it nicely in the midpoint range for good speakers, and quite frankly, it packs a lot of power for a device this size. I’ll definitely recommend it for...

REVIEW: Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100 Airplay speaker

Packing in Bluetooth and Airplay connectivity alongside a clever internet radio system, the Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100 is looking a well-rounded mini speaker system. But is it worthy of its high price tag? Read our full review to find out!

The Minx Air 100 is a bit of a mixed bag then. In terms of design we think it looks very neat and reserved, making it a lovely choice for anyone looking for a discrete bookshelf speaker. It's wireless functionality is delivered just as well as any...

Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100 review: a Bluetooth and AirPlay wireless speaker

Wireless speakers tend to favour AirPlay or Bluetooth, but the Minx Air 100 caters for both. It has plenty of other tricks besides as well as sounding great.

You won't be disappointed with the sound quality; Bluetooth and AirPlay support

Setting up for AirPlay is a slight faff

Cambridge Audio Minx Air 100

Wireless music really has just come of age. Following a sketchy (and expensive) start, the first revolution kicked off properly with the arrival of Apple's Airplay. But then Android hit the big time, so all of a sudden it was back to Bluetooth again....

Buy one, you won't regret it. This is a big, if understated, leap in wireless audio. There are some very neat little audio flourishes buried beneath its discreet enclosure and some technical touches you wouldn't expect, but you'll be glad someone...
