Lossless audio on the move, Stylish, customisable design, AirPlay

Short battery life over WiFi, Bass overwhelms treble, Extremely expensive

Rich, crisp audio with various room modes. Easy Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Alexa setup with app.

Alexa mic doesn't always pick up your voice. Lacks truly deep bass. Pricey.

For style and ease of use, the Zipp Mini 2 gets high marks. Sonically, it's a solid speaker, but it lacks truly deep bass—something that doesn't surprise us for its size, but isn't ideal for its price. The smart speaker functions work well, even if the...

Beautiful design ; Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support ; Balanced and clear sound

Not as seamless as Sonos ; Short battery life ; Buggy smartphone software

The Libratone Zipp is beautifully designed and sounds excellent. Its size and relatively short battery life mean the Zipp is mostly meant for listening around the home but you can take it outside, too. The addition of Wi-Fi means you can roll your own...

Versatile (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AirPlay, and USB host) ; Delivers 360-degree sound ; Can run on battery power ; Very attractive industrial design

Can't stream different tracks to different speakers from the same source ; Can't remotely control the volume of multiple speakers independently from the same app you're streaming music from ; Limited diversity in the Zipp lineup (just two models)

The Zipp is a very good and versatile wireless speaker, but Sonos has much better multi-room audio infrastructure.

Powerful audio performance with robust bass and crisp highs. Alluring design projects audio in all directions. Portable, with a built-in strap for hanging from hooks. Free app allows for Wi-Fi streaming, Internet radio playback.

Digital signal processing isn't for everyone. Track fades can lose a split-second of audio.

In this price range, there are plenty of solid wireless speaker options to conisder. We're fans of the Creative iRoar, the JBL Xtreme, the Marshall Kilburn, and the Sonos Play:1. If it's flat response you're after, the Audioengine B2 will not...

Full-bodied, smooth sound ; Rhythmically good ; Innovative multi-room options ; Stand-out design

Lacking some drive ; Slightly closed-in presentation

The new Zipp is certainly a step on from its predecessor and falls short only marginally when compared with class leaders at this price

Spacious, room-filling sound Clear and open Refined and subtle Agile, musical and engaging Extensive features Stylish

Paltry battery life

There’s no denying the Libratone Zipp BT’s charm. It’s lovely to listen to, and we’d welcome it into our homes with open arms. MORE: Best Bluetooth speakers 2015

Best example so far of Libratone’s design chops. Sound is great for modest parties in medium-size rooms. AirPlay setup and use is as easy as it gets on an established Wi-Fi connection. Decent battery life

The cost is a put-off. PlayDirect works, but setting up internet streaming is an annoyance. If you rely on Spotify or Pandora and plan to take the Zipp to the beach, consider carefully
