Give us enough time and equipment and we'll put a speaker on anything. Seriously, a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g. Cars, televisions, wrist watches - just about every gadget is made better with extraneous sound. So, when we'd heard that Logitech was releasing a ...

Fantastically clear audio quality given its size. Supports a host of alarm and snooze functions. Magnetic remote sticks to the top of unit. Dual antennas ensure buttery smooth audio streams. Offers two-week backup battery for alarm functions. Supports ...

Simply put, this is the finest networked audio streamer we've ever seen. It's easy to use, beautifully designed and packed with features to an almost ludicrous extent

Logitech's Squeezebox Boom is an attractive network music streamer and internet radio with sharp looks and great speakers.

We really liked the Logitech Squeezebox Boom, though arguably setup and feature navigation on the largely similar Philips NP2900 product was easier still. It's a chunkier device than the Philips but would still fit neatly on a shelf or bedside table ...

PUMP up the volume and pump up the bass as you stream the latest music straight to the Logitech Squeezebox boom.
