So their competition has had the issue and they still missed it? Yikes. Lots of bluetooth speakers out there do not mark up furniture. For sure news favors the negative, but that's a legit issue.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I haven't heard it yet, but I would never buy one anyway because Siri is horrifically bad, integration outside of Apple Music is almost non-existent, and it's overpriced. If there is anyone out there seriously comparing a cheap bluetooth speaker (relative to audiophile equipment) to "audiophile grade" speakers they probably don't know what they are talking about, or don't understand the limitations of physics. A tiny single woofer and a tweeter group connected to weak amps can only do so much. One thing they are doing right is adding room correction to the mix, which is important and often overlooked.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The few reviews I have read on it so far have all been from sites that have no business reviewing speakers, and even they had criticisms regarding its sound quality, but I don't think anyone expects it to be that good - it's just another mainstream bluteooth speaker at the end of the day with a hefty premium for being "smart" with Siri and the like. I haven't seen any proper reviews on it yet from the usual suspects in the HT world.
I don't use bluteooth speakers that often, but I have a UE Boom for travel and a JBL Xtreme for around the house that anyone can connect to - the GF would kill me if I got a third haha. I much prefer listening to real speakers when I get the chance.
