Overpriced
Many source devices can't access Wi-Fi services while connected to the Libratone

Abstract: I enjoy testing out new speaker systems that are designed for working with mobile devices since I use my phones and tablets for my music service, even in my home. I have not yet tested out any Apple AirPlay compatible speakers before so I was excited to g...
What's the first thing you look for in a speaker? Good audio, right? The ZIPP delivers on that. But I also love the interchangeable colors and the amazing aesthetics of the speaker. It has a specially designed wool cover (that's where the covers come into
Admittedly, the Jambox is much more portable. The Libratone ZIPP is about the size of a roll of paper towels, so you really can't tote it around in a backpack or toss it in your purse, as you can with smaller Bluetooth speakers. But you're paying for audi

Sounds terrific, easily fills a room, PlayDirect makes AirPlay truly portable for iOS and Mac users, Looks great, can change appearance with optional sleeves, Leather strap is a helpful / quirky addition, PlayDirect Wi-Fi has better range than Bluetooth
Expensive speaker, expensive sleeves, No Bluetooth so no wireless support for Windows or Android, PlayDirect interrupts 3G data unless manually configured, PlayDirect can be finicky, requiring reboot

Yes. $400 for an AirPlay speaker isnt all that bad (in our test of the best Airplay speakers, the prices ran $400 to $800). Plus, this one not only pairs easily and independently, but it also looks great and sounds wonderful.The Best AirPlay SpeakersAirP...
Not much in the way of controls on the Zipp. Just a power button with Libratone's bird logo, surrounded by plus/minus volume controls. A couple of little buttons on the back to select WiFi or PlayDirect. That's it.

Here's an apt indicator of how I feel about the Zipp: The whole time I was reviewing it, I kept it playing at high volume, often repeating tunes just 'cause they sounded so good. Combine the great sound with the handy, cute form factor and the convenienc...
Abstract: Is it possible for a speaker to be cute? Libratone's new Zipp ($449) makes a very good case for "yes," thanks to refinements of earlier industrial design concepts the company introduced in larger and more expensive models. Zipp is a plastic tube sligh...

Abstract: For those of us that have strong memories of untangling speaker cables, Bluetooth speakers can seem like witchcraft. Plonk a pill-shaped box on your shelf, or hang it up in the kitchen, then zap your music to it with nothing more than a few swipes. No kno...
Solid build and customisable design, Warm, weighty sound with lots of bass, Streams from a wide range of sources, Easy to use
Bass can be overpowering, Soundstage could be more open, No DLNA playback through phone app
Libratone's popular Bluetooth speaker is enhanced by a swanky new colour scheme and nifty features, but its impressive sound quality is the real star of the show...
