Roberts R-Line S2 review

Well-connected and looks great, but let down by the sound quality

Full, deep bass ; Big, clear sound ; Vast connections ; Intuitive app

Lacks dynamics and insight ; Struggles with timing ; Not the snappiest presentation ; Needs more complete streaming service support

Great design and connections, but the compliments finish there

S2 Wireless Stereo Multi-Room Speaker review

A solid but somewhat limited first streaming effort from Roberts

Simple set-up ; Intuitive app ; Big sound.

Unbalanced sound ; Limited service compatibility ; Limited on-device controls.

The Roberts Audio S2 music streaming speaker feels like a solid first attempt, but limited streaming compatibility and an overly bassy sound make it something of an acquired taste. The Roberts Audio S2 is a functional product, but the fact is that at...

Roberts Radio S2 review: Singling out Sonos?

The Roberts Radio S2 - which is part of a whole new series of R-Line multi-room speakers - is one of the first products from everyone's favourite DAB radio maker. Alongside Pure Digital, anyway. The Roberts Radio S2 is one of the better mid-price,...

Easy to setup and use, more versatile than Sonos, fun and powerful in the right sound mode, fair pricing

Neglected mids in one mode, digital edge to treble in the other, rudimentary multi-room software

The Roberts Radio S2 is one of the better mid-price, mid-size, multi-room speakers. It comfortably takes on the Ministry of Sound Audio L Plus, sounds bigger than the Sonos Play 1, and is an awful lot cheaper than the Sonos Play: 5.

Roberts S2 review

(Rating Hidden)

The wireless S2 speaker from Roberts isn't cheap, so it's important that the device delivers top-notch audio for music fans. Can the Roberts S2 deliver when it comes to crisp playback? We sent the speaker off to the test lab to find out.

Easy to setup and use

Bought this and an S1 about a month ago and have really got back into listening to music again since. Undok app is easy to use and works well. To play Spotify you need the proper paid for version. Only challenge I have had is that sometimes when...

Unbelievable Product

I've owned this and two S1 speakers for some months now. I simply could not be more pleased with these products. Great sound quality and a plethora of unexpected features. Thank you Roberts.

Great speaker - easier with bluetooth than wifi

I wanted a better quality speaker to play the Apple music I have bought on my iPad. This DOES provide good quality sound. I had difficulty at first linking it to the internet- better instruction book needed. But eventually discovered it't very easy to...
