Stiftung Warentest13 WLan-Lautsprecher 04/2021ReleaseApril 2021

Sehr guter Klang. Höhen und Bass überzeugend. Ausgewogen, neutral, fein. Hohe maximale Lautstärke. Aber keine Klangeinstellungs-Funktionen. Mit Touchscreen. GuteAnzeige. Internetradio über Sprachassistenten nutzbar. Musik vom Heimnetz-Server und lokal vom Handy nur via Zusatz-App. Recht teures und schweres Gerät.
