Parrot BOOMBOX - speaker - wireless review: Parrot BOOMBOX - speaker - wireless

Parrot BOOMBOX - speaker - wireless

Attractively designed wireless speaker is Bluetooth compatible, which allows you to stream stereo music from any A2DP-enabled Bluetooth audio source; built-in amplifier; decent sound; stereo line input provides compatibility with non-Bluetooth devices;...

Streaming wirelessly from an iPod requires an optional dongle; Bluetooth pairing can be a finicky process; single cabinet design limits stereo separation.

The Parrot Boombox wireless Bluetooth speaker system ably combines elegant design, minimalist aesthetics, and better-than-average sound quality at an affordable price.

Parrot Boombox review – Who knew Parrot could squawk this loud?

Parrot is taking a venture off the beaten trail with this little beauty. Can't seem to find a spot for it on the dash of your car? Good, because it doesn't go there. The Parrot “Boombox” is Parrot's first entry into the vast and competitive world of...

On the back is the AC power and line-in connection, while on top are a small set of control buttons and a status light. There are two volume control buttons, a connection button for opening the Boombox to new Bluetooth connections and the status light...

Parrot Boombox

Add a powerful set of wireless speakers to your Mac. Parrot's Boombox looks like a smaller and more refined version of the Apple iPod HiFi, but it's built for your Mac and works via Bluetooth.

Good sound, attractive design, can share between multiple Macs

Expensive investment, Bluetooth music streaming is only supported by Mac OS X Leopard

If dispensing with cable clutter and the capacity to share the system between multiple computers and any other AD2P-supporting device sounds attractive, this is a powerful system capable of high-quality sound reproduction, albeit at a relatively high...

Parrot Boombox

If you wish to amplify the sound coming from your iPod or MP3 player then this could be for you. However it is also Bluetooth so you can do the same from your mobile phone or PDA.

This unit is neither small or light. It is matt black and the sound that comes from it is great. When this unit arrived I plugged the 3.5mm jack into my stereo and the stereo plugs into the back of the unit. The setting was that I normally use to my...

Parrot - Boombox

We've got used to Parrot swooping along with wireless solutions to wired problems over the last year, the most noticeable of which include photo frames, car stereos and speakers. Bluetooth aficionados seem unperturbed by the fact ...

The Parrot Boombox is a powerful set of party speakers that offer clean sound and thumping bass. Although not particularly accessible in terms of additional audio control, the performance and added advantage of Bluetooth make this a reasonably priced...
