Review: Libratone’s second-generation Loop brings Bluetooth to the AirPlay-only Danish speaker family

AirPlay isn’t dead as a wireless speaker standard, but it’s not exactly healthy: many models have been discontinued, and new releases have all but stopped. Having previously gone all-in with AirPlay, Danish designer speaker maker Libratone is now rolling out updated versions of its circular Loop, tube-shaped Zipp, and triangular Live systems that augment AirPlay […]

Danish audio firm Libratone adds to its collection of high-end speakers with the Loop, a round and relatively slim unit that produces some of the best treble fidelity we've heard from a product its size.

Meet Libratone's latest speaker. It's pretty, it's fuzzy, and it sounds fantastic — but only when AirPlay cooperates.

The Loop isn't cheap at $499.95, but it's got a slick, modern design and streams audio from a variety of devices.

The Libratone Loop is a looker of a speaker, and with the unexpected inclusion of ribbon-style tweeters, it reads like an audiophile’s dream. Unfortunately, we found the treble could quickly spin out of control, with the midrange taking a hit in the process.

The Libratone Loop is an attractive-looking AirPlay speaker, but at $500 it needs to do more than just look pretty, and it just doesn't sound as good as it should.

Libratone Loop Review: The AirPlay Speaker That Looks As Good As It Sounds

For AirPlay speakers, there's a lot of choice out there. Often that can result in the feeling that there are essentially a lot of people sticking to an easy formula and churning out virtually interchangeable devices, but Libratone is a speaker-maker that makes AirPlay sound ware that stands out, an…

The Libratone Loop manages this, as in addition to being able to belt out a great sound, it looks fantastic and can be easily adapted via different covers to fit into the style of any room.
