Easy to set up, Excellent sound, USB charging port
Room rockin' volume and bass. Great midrange performance. Digital signal processing quashes distortion. Fast and nimble wireless music streaming. AUX port offers noniOS versatility in a pinch
Good sound at a notsogood price. Randomly dropped connections are instant partykillers. Aggressive signal processing at high volumes. No battery = stationary tunes. No iOS cable included

Elegant design; easy Wi-Fi setup; good sound at lower volumes
Expensive; bass becomes unbalanced as the volume increases

Extremely powerful speaker system. Delivers deep bass without distortion. Simple, app-driven set up.
AirPlay drops signal. Uses signal processessing at top volumes to prevent bass distortion—not for audiophiles
