Stiftung Warentest14 WLan-Lautsprecher 12/2016ReleaseDecember 2016

Drei Modelle geprüft. Kleiner Monolautsprecher Play:1, ein mittelgroßer und ein großer Funklautsprecher. Play:3 und Play:5 bieten mit jeweils zwei Kanälen Stereo aus einer Box. Play:3 klingt am besten im Test. Wegen des besonders hohen Standbyverbrauchs schneidet sie insgesamt nur befriedigend ab...

Im Gegensatz zum PLay:1 ist die größere Variante nicht ganz so kraftvoll und spielt eher klar sowie sauber. Auch der Pegel ist bei weitem nicht so hoch was aber auch zu einem unverzerrten Klang führt. Während hier der Preis für das dargebotene eher zu hoch ausfällt, ist es beim Preis-Leistungssieger exzellent.
