Rank 3 out of 13Stiftung Warentest13 WLan-Lautsprecher 04/2021ReleaseApril 2021

Schnäppchen. Starke Leistung für wenig Geld. Klingt klar und recht neutral, aber leicht kühl. Relativ leise. Kompaktes Gerät. Gute Bedienung am Gerät. Gute App-Steuerung. Vielseitig. App ermöglicht viele Musikquellen. Kein Nutzerkonto nötig. Ärgerlich: Nutzungsbedingungen liegen nicht auf Deutsch vor.
