Review: Logitech Squeezebox Boom

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...

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...

Unexciting (yet functional) design. A veritable desert for audio outputs. Occasional slow response from the remote. No DRM support can mean trouble for protected iTunes/Zune libraries. Stick to the remote — the glossy black chassis is a fingerprint...

Logitech Squeezebox Boom

Logitech's latest Squeezebox features a sexy design and excellent-sounding speakers.

Compact and attractive. Streams tunes from your PC's music library. Robust audio codec support. Plays Internet radio and services like Slacker, Rhapsody, and Pandora. Speakers offer laudable power. Magnetic remote is easy to keep track of.

Menu navigation can be confusing. System can be slow to retrieve songs from PC libraries, music services.

Logitech Squeezebox Boom Overview

Logitech unveiled its new Squeezebox family product, the Boom. Boom is an all-in-one network music player. The system, which is not portable so much as it is self-contained, features an integrated 30-watt Class-D amplifier and speakers - a first for...

The new Boom seems to be a good, and logical, addition to the Squeezebox family of products, which includes the Squeezebox Duet network music system, Squeezebox network music player, as well as the audiophiles’ choice (and my personal favorite), the...

Logitech Squeezebox Boom

The Squeezebox Boom is another solid entry in a long line of great audio streamers. Logitech has mastered the art of building inexpensive, good-quality powered speakers, and the ones integrated into the Boom are no exception.

Great alarm clock, great user interface, comprehensive audio-format support

No digital outputs and limited to 802.11g networks

If you’re looking for a general-purpose audio-streaming box, as opposed to an alarm clock, you’ll be better served by the Squeezebox Duet or the Squeezebox 3 paired with high-quality self-powered speakers (Axiom Audio’s Audiobyte and Audioengine’s A2...

Logitech Squeezebox Boom Review

If you're familiar with the original Squeezebox network music player, it allowed you to listen to the music on your computer in one location wirelessly over your hi-fi system. Logitech recently acquired the company and has been making significant...

Great sound ; WiFi and Ethernet connectivity ; Accesses music located on computer wirelessly

No battery operation ; Glossy black finish is a dust-magnet

The Logitech Squeezebox Boom is available now and you can grab it from Amazon.com for just under ’40 bucks. It’s probably the best internet-connected radio we've seen yet.
