Dual Review: Libratone's Lounge and Zipp speakers cover both ends of the spectrum
4.5

Libratone has made a name for itself by baking high-tech components, innovative design and consistent sound quality into its systems, features usually seen only in much more expensive systems. AppleInsider was able to take a look at how the Lounge, one of the company's first models, stands up to its recently released portable, the Zipp.

Good with voices, but needs to perform to a much higher standard to be seen as a serious contender

The Libratone Live is, without a doubt, a stylish product that works well with the intended technologies. However, a pretty package is not the complete story when it comes to the Libratone Live.

If you have room in your budget and home for this behemoth, the Libratone Lounge is unlikely to disappoint, unless you're really only craving booming bass.

Review: Libratone Live

Just three years after the iPod ruled the audio industry, manufacturers are starting to look on it as a quaint “legacy device,” one they have to accommodate for customers who just aren’t with it. The iPod’s being replaced as our primary music source by all sorts of wireless stuff, like smartphones, Bluetooth-equipped computers, and routers connected to network-attached storage (NAS) drives.

Libratone's newest speaker does both AirPlay and Bluetooth, and lets you link multiple speakers together.
