so-so product

I've had my Libratone Lounge for about two months now. I have godt to say - it looks good and sounds good too. But there are some issues that makes this great looking product drop down to an average experience. First, I was disappointed with the sound level when the speaker was maxed out. It isn't a loud as you would think (and hope) for a speaker of this size. I had hoped for more... Secondly - and this is were everything goes wrong - it is not able to play continuously for longer (hours) of time without dropping out. The drop out can be small, a couple of second, but sometimes the speaker goes quiet for half a minute. other times I have experienced that the speaker looses connection with the wi-fi and won't connect for 30-40 minutes. And forget about using our iPhone 4S to playback - but that seems to an general problem. But I must say that the Libratone Support is quick to respond when contacted. I just wished that it would fix the problems i'm having.

Libratone Lounge review

You've likely never heard of Libratone. Fair enough. But maybe you're familiar with Steinway Lyngdorf Audio, the Danish company that specializes in high-performance professional audio? Jes Mosgaard, the former CEO of Lyngdorf...

Easily fills a large living room with sound ; Excellent audio reproduction ; Wireless AirPlay convenience

Pricey: $100 extra for colored cashmere ; Limited to a single mini-TOSLINK input ; Stereo only, can’t simulate multi-channel surround like other soundbars

There’s no other AirPlay-enabled speaker on the market capable of matching the Lounge in price (that's bad) or acoustic muscle (that's good)

Libratone Lounge AirPlay Loudspeaker Reviewed

A new player by the name of Libratone is entering the fray, bringing with them the Lounge wireless loudspeaker. With AirPlay compatibility and modern looks, the Lounge promises a lot. How does it deliver? Read on to find out.

So how do I best sum up the Libratone Lounge wireless loudspeaker? Style over substance. While those whose decor leans more towards Case Study furniture and Eames lounge chairs will no doubt relish the Lounge's modern visual appeal, there just isn't...

Libratone Lounge

A £1000+ soundbar with the looks of a piece of designer furniture.

Looks great ; Extremely well-made ; Utterly convenient for iOS users

Sound lacks scale and volume ; No phono input

The Libratone Lounge is one of the most impressive-looking Airplay devices we've seen. It's big, but elegant too. And it has a sound to match - refined, elegant and detailed. However, it can't provide the clout and volume other cheaper audio solutions...
