Abstract: I enjoy testing out new speaker systems that are designed for working with mobile devices since I use my phones and tablets for my music service, even in my home. I have not yet tested out any Apple AirPlay compatible speakers before so I was excited to g...
What's the first thing you look for in a speaker? Good audio, right? The ZIPP delivers on that. But I also love the interchangeable colors and the amazing aesthetics of the speaker. It has a specially designed wool cover (that's where the covers come into
Admittedly, the Jambox is much more portable. The Libratone ZIPP is about the size of a roll of paper towels, so you really can't tote it around in a backpack or toss it in your purse, as you can with smaller Bluetooth speakers. But you're paying for audi

Sounds terrific, easily fills a room, PlayDirect makes AirPlay truly portable for iOS and Mac users, Looks great, can change appearance with optional sleeves, Leather strap is a helpful / quirky addition, PlayDirect Wi-Fi has better range than Bluetooth
Expensive speaker, expensive sleeves, No Bluetooth so no wireless support for Windows or Android, PlayDirect interrupts 3G data unless manually configured, PlayDirect can be finicky, requiring reboot

Yes. $400 for an AirPlay speaker isnt all that bad (in our test of the best Airplay speakers, the prices ran $400 to $800). Plus, this one not only pairs easily and independently, but it also looks great and sounds wonderful.The Best AirPlay SpeakersAirP...
Not much in the way of controls on the Zipp. Just a power button with Libratone's bird logo, surrounded by plus/minus volume controls. A couple of little buttons on the back to select WiFi or PlayDirect. That's it.

Here's an apt indicator of how I feel about the Zipp: The whole time I was reviewing it, I kept it playing at high volume, often repeating tunes just 'cause they sounded so good. Combine the great sound with the handy, cute form factor and the convenienc...
Abstract: Is it possible for a speaker to be cute? Libratone's new Zipp ($449) makes a very good case for "yes," thanks to refinements of earlier industrial design concepts the company introduced in larger and more expensive models. Zipp is a plastic tube sligh...

The portable Libratone Zipp AirPlay speaker has a modern, eye-catching design and excellent sound for its size, and you can connect directly to it from an iOS mobile device, PC, or Mac. It has a built-in rechargeable battery or can be powered by an includ
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....
