Review: Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200

Six hundred stones buys you quite a lot of digital gratification these days. So if you're going to pay $600 for a wireless speaker, it...

Two wireless signals let you fill any room with sound from your PC, smartphone, or tablet. Well-engineered, easy-to-use iOS and Android apps

Way too expensive for inconsistent sound quality. No Play-Fi streaming for Android devices. No battery power. Confusing buttons

A jumbo AirPlay speaker with a less sizable sound

The ; is an attractive wireless speaker, with an understated design that blends well into most environments. It supports both Bluetooth and AirPlay, plus it can directly stream Internet radio without the need for a separate mobile device.

The Minx Air 200 doesn't sound as good as other speakers in its price class. Despite the handle on the back, it's not truly a portable speaker, as it lacks a built-in battery. AirPlay setup can be slightly difficult for networking neophytes. And while...

The Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200 is a big, well-designed wireless speaker that supports Bluetooth, AirPlay, and Internet radio, but its sound quality doesn't live up to its lofty high price.

Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200

Cambridge Audio scores on its first outing designing wireless speakers with the Minx Air 200, a powerful, well-rounded device with the sonic chops to take on the heavyweights.

Smooth, transparent sound quality. Near-thunderous bass extension and impressive power for a wireless speaker. Supports both Bluetooth and AirPlay wireless streaming. Well-designed enclosure.

Expensive. Slightly sluggish bass response. Mild background hiss. Complex AirPlay setup.

Performance and Conclusions Inside is a 200-watt class-D amplifier driving two 2.25-inch balance mode radiator drivers and a 6.5-inch subwoofer. At idle, the Minx Air 200 consumes less than half a watt of power from the wall. Unfortunately, I heard...

Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200 Wireless Music System Review

The Minx Air200 from Cambridge Audio is a $600 AirPlay and Bluetooth speaker. Yes, we're high rollin' today. At that price I realized that it had better impress me or this would be a very tough review

Review: Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200

The Minx Air 200 is big and expensive, but the superior sound quality makes it worth every penny if you're looking for a wireless speaker.

The Minx Air 200 is not a cheap speaker, but the sound quality is great, and the inclusion of Apple AirPlay connectivity make it worth the price.

Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200 Wireless Speaker System

Performance Features Ergonomics Value

So long, Apple 30-pin docking connector. You were a prodigiously creative little jack while you lasted. You gave birth to whole new categories of iPod/iPhone accessory docks and docking systems. You even muscled your way into A/V receivers, initially...

Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200 Wireless Music System review

A couple months ago I posted a review of the Cambridge Audio Minx Go and concluded at that time that it was my current favorite small speaker. Then I was given the opportunity to try the Minx Go's bigger brother, the Cambridge Audio Minx Air 200...

Great sound ; AirPlay ; Internet radio with custom presets ; Built in handle

Expensive ; Slight hiss when not playing audio ; No built-in battery for portability

Review: Minx Air 200 wireless speaker system

Last month I got the opportunity to spend some quality time with the Minx Go Bluetooth speaker from Cambridge Audio and came away mighty impressed. Since then I've been playing my tunes through its bigger brother, the top of the range Minx Air 200....

This memorable entrée to the Minx range was only slightly marred by some slight distortion at the highest volume setting on some songs. Needless to say, I had very high expectations for the delicious-looking main course to come.
