I've read some older Libratone models are Airplay only not Bluetooth, so be aware of that.
Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like?
I'm looking to add sound to the living room in a WAF friendly manner. Gotta be inconspicuous and no wires showing!
I'm thinking a wireless Bluetooth speaker that I can connect to from tablet or Smartphone running my favorite music apps is the way to go.
Any particular good sounding ones that you have heard?
The retro-styled Marshalls would fit in aesthetically I think. My wife likes retro! Maybe the portable model.
Thoughts?

I heard the ue boom at local Walmart today. It it was the best sounding Bluetooth speaker they had there no doubt. It was playing in a huge store but I thought it a tad small for my purpose. It did have nice build quailty and sound for the size. Also the priciest model at Walmart. A few others were larger but very Lo fi. I heard the $99 flat round ue model at a relatives a while back and was very impressed with the sound and build quality. |
Well, after hearing it in local Best Buy and finding a great price online (sorry Best Buy), I'm giving a white
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 2
a shot. I listened to it using Plex app on my Iphone 6s to stream from my music library at home and it hit the mark for me |
Yes, I got it Friday one week ago. I am very happy with it. The best single speaker Bluetooth sound I have heard to date especially for the $150 it ended up costing. I can easily recommend it at that price point. Ironically now my wife wants me dump my wired speakers in her sunroom for it. The HK sound is good enough that I might not miss them too much in there if it comes to that in that the sound quality is very good especially for its size and I’d still have my high end wired setups in three other rooms. Lots of full extended good quality bass, a slight lovely warmth in the midrange clean highs, nicely balanced top to botto, good dynamics and goes pretty loud with no noticeable breakup or distortion. Imaging and soundstage is not much there with a single speaker but I have that in spades elsewhere so not a big issue. A very nice addition for a well set audiophile looking to explore portable blue tooth sound without spending a lot. |
