Black box of quiet. Turn your computer off and the Boom can’t stream files (obviously) or pick up any internet radio stations (not so obviously). There’s no DAB or FM tuner
Logitech has done one better with the Squeezebox ™ Boom to say the least. The sound quality is flawless and with the ability to plug in an additional sub woofer via the 3.5nm connector on the back it is possible to increase the volume to the upper e...

Great sound, WiFi and Ethernet connectivity, Accesses music located on computer wirelessly.
No battery operation, Glossy black finish is a dustmagnet.
