Multi-room is a choice between products in the Google Home ecosystem and the aforementioned AirPlay 2, which is more suited to iOS users.Ĭompared to the original, we found the performance powerful but also nuanced, showcasing a broad and well-defined soundstage. The range of connectivity is wide, as alongside Bluetooth 4.2 there’s Roon-ready support, Spotify Connect, built-in Chromecast, Apple AirPlay 2, UPnP, and Tidal for means of sending audio to the speaker, plus there’s Internet radio with via vTuner. The main upgrades aren’t visible on the outside, with Naim’s biggest changes all happening on the inside with all-new driver units and digital signal processor. Like the original, it boasts a cubed design but features a new illuminated dial that lights up when your hand hovers over to reveal its controls, which our reviewer found to be one of the nicest control systems presented for a hi-fi speaker. It’s one of the best Bluetooth speakers we’ve tested. The first Mu-so Qb was a revelation – a premium wireless speaker shaped like a cube? We thought it was one of the coolest looking speakers and the second-gen version is even better. Obviously, we know not everyone has the same taste in music, so we won’t only test with the same perfectly mastered album, but with a variety of genres and file qualities, from MP3 to Hi-Res FLAC. We’ll listen to Bluetooth speakers alongside similarly priced rivals, so when we recommend a particular model, it’s among the best you can buy for the money. Speakers are tested by reviewers who have a love of music, a knowledge of sound quality, as well as a context of the market. Of course, it always comes back to the music. Recently, some Bluetooth speakers have begun to get smart functionality with the integration of Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, and as a result we’ve started speaking to our speakers as well. We don’t just listen to the speakers if there are special features then we make sure we fiddle with them until we’re satisfied. We play it everywhere – in the house, in the garden, and even in the bath if a speaker is waterproof. We play a lot of music, and we play it loud.
