Well-balanced bass and treble, Supports Bluetooth and AirPlay, Can link with other Libratone speakers for multiroom sound
Slow to start up, Lacks ruggedness, Limited battery life
With multiroom capabilities, a variety of ways to play music wirelessly and a ton of other features, the Libratone Zipp is like the Swiss Army knife of wireless speakers. But it's got more than just tech going for it: It looks good, sounds good and is eas...

We first saw Libratone's Zipp as an AirPlay speaker in 2012 — we appreciated the design, but the speaker was overpriced for the sound quality it offered. Libratone thought enough of the design to tweak it and reintroduce it for 2016. The new Zipp ($299) i...

The Libratone Zipp is a solid piece of kit. It looks the part and has fantastic sound , particularly when it comes to detail. The best part is that you can unplug it and take it anywhere, thanks to its built-in battery and PlayDirect Wi-Fi. You won't g...
Personalized element with its Wool covers, Its design is modern and inviting, Enhanced audio projection via the Libratone app
Audio quality sounds strained at the loudest setting, Very expensive portable solution at $400, No Bluetooth connection
Visually, we can't deny that the Libratone Zipp has an amusing one that manages to go outside of the norm, but the $400 price point attached to it online through places like Amazon makes it a tough call. It sure is a big investment on its own, that's cert...

Portable, wireless audio via Apple Airplay. Innovative PlayDirect feature allows for wireless audio without a Wi-Fi network. Quality audio performance at moderate-to-high levels. Does not distort on deep bass tracks. Simple set up process.
Not for bass lovers, nor purists opposed to digital signal processing. Shape of speaker prohibits strong stereo image
The wireless Libratone Zipp is portable, ultra-stylish, and a solid audio performer at moderate volumes, but its signal processing will be a turn-off for some....

Many source devices can't access Wi-Fi services while connected to the Libratone, or need to use pricey data plans, the Zipp only has 4 hours of battery life with wireless on, it's not compatible with Android smartphones and tablets (no Bluetooth), and it
The Libratone Zipp is one of the best-sounding and best-looking portable wireless speakers out there, but its high price and Wi-Fi limitations give us pause.

Apple is pushing away from speaker docks and focusing on wireless audio, and the accessory industry is eager to oblige. Such systems have generally been more expensive than traditional, wired docks, but that’s also encouraged manufacturers to dress th...
