Libratone ZIPP Copenhagen Edition Wireless Speaker (360 ° Sound, Wlan, Bluetooth, MultiRoom, Airplay 2, Spotify Connect, 10h Rechargeable Battery) - Steel Blue

Really happy I spent much more than I normally do on a portable speaker.Audio quality - really impressive. I was obviously expecting this with the price I paid for it and also the size of the speaker. The clarity is second to none.. Clear and crisp high frequencies and a warm, deep mid range. If I was going to be overly critical, the bass could be a little better, but it is something that most people would be MORE than happy with.Build quality / design - bit different to most speakers in the market.. the shape allows a 360 sound which is really important for me. It is fairly bulky and heavy, but I like this, feels valuable and doesn't move when playing at high volumes ( which a lot of speakers do ). The fabric cover over the drivers gives this speaker a point of difference and style. With the speaker market so saturated, I always look for the speakers that offer something that the others don't, something that makes it unique.Features / Ease of use - Firstly, as said before about the point of difference, one of the features I really like is the fact if you hover your hand over the top of the speaker ( when it is playing ) the speaker will mute ( music will continue to play on your device ) and then when you take your hand away, it will continue as normal. Touch controls.. When connected to the speaker, you can control the music by the speaker using the touch controls on the top ( as shown in the photo ). Play / Pause, Previous / Next track by tapping the left or right hand side of the control panel and controlling the volume, you can swipe your finger around the edges of the control panel to either decrease or increase the volume ( lights will show the volume moving up and down ). USB charge port to keep your device charged will playing your music. Carry handle. Bluetooth, WIFI and aux connection. Connecting over the WIFI is easy to do using the Libratone app. Once connected your can either play the music or select a internet radio station ( you can preset up to 5 stations ). You can pair up to another model but I haven't tried this yet ( only have the one ) so I won't comment on this!The packaging is quite big compared to the speaker but I think this is quite a nice touch, and actually adds value to the product and you get a really good unboxing experience.. again, it's the little things that some brands do to make them stand out against the rest. Manual included with all instructions needed, Cable weight and comes with a charger ( with EU adaptor as well ).Overall I am glad I invested in this product. Libratone have done wonders.

This speaker is the perfect size. I have the larger one also and they sound amazing when you connect them together. This has the best sound quality of any speaker I have used before and the bass on it is unbeatable

Easier to set up than anticipated, very good sound quality. Dial top control can give issues , but it's a learning curve.

The sound clarity is first class, controls simple and easy to use. All the advertised features worked first time, great product bit a bit pricey.

Third Zipp purchased. Great product , great sound

The media could not be loaded.  This beastie of a speaker certainly chucks out some quality sound but there's so much more to tell you about it than that. I love the portability, with an 8 hour battery life It will be joining me on holiday, on my travels, around various rooms in the house and anywhere i need to keep my tunes. You can save 5 internet radio stations using an APP which can then be selected with a touch of the control panel on the top, which also offers volume control, track skip and stereo pairing of another Libratone speaker.I recorded a quick video comparing this to a Sonos play3... my previous favorite speaker. The Sonos is still a great speaker and after numerous tests I might even say has the better bass notes but when you add together all the other benefits of the Zipp mini there's no competition... . The Zipp mini supports Bluetooth streaming meaning I can play audio from any device playing any source... I am a big Youtube fan and it has always frustrated me that I couldn't play the sound through Sonos... frustration no more!! :D Not to mention that the Zipp can be battery powered, so it can come into the shower room or into the garden easier than running extension cables for the Sonos.
