Speaker docks outfitted with Apple’s Lightning dock connector seem like kind of waste these days. Wireless music is the future, homie! But does this new beauty from Bowers & Wilkins look like a dock? Where’s the port? It’s hidden by clever design.


Bowers & Wilkins A7 AirPlay Speakers: So Good And So Expensive

Bowers & Wilkins makes some of our favourite audio hardware. We also happen to love AirPlay — so the union of the two should be terrific, right? Sort of. The A7 speaker is tremendous — but it’s just so, so expensive.


The AirPlay Speaker You Would See In Don Draper’s Apartment

Outlet Hogging Wireless Speaker Forgoes A Rechargeable Battery

There’s no shortage of compact wireless speakers on the market right now, and JBL figures the best way to differentiate its new SoundFly is to forgo the one key feature that makes these worth carrying around: a rechargeable battery.

There will be wireless speakers in the future. Whether they will use DLNA, AirPlay, or Bluetooth isn’t certain — none of those technologies are quite perfect yet. But some, like Libratone’s new Zipp AirPlay speaker, are very close. And it’s better the previous Libratone Live in nearly every way.

Bang & Olufsen, venerable purveyor of luxury AV products from Denmark, just fired this handsome 27-inch diameter speaker disk into the world. It kind of looks like it could be used to communicate with similar dishes across down. It can’t, but it can play music from your DLNA device wirelessly.


The Libratone Zipp Could Be The Best AirPlay Speaker Yet

Libratone’s last AirPlay outing was a beautifully designed dud — it was just way, way too expensive. But their next stab, a compact cylinder wrapped in wool, has the chance to be the best take on AirPlay we’ve ever seen.
