When we last tested the Google Home speaker, we were impressed with the concept and usability, and we did not get too hung up on the sound. Now that the competitors have come up with the same opportunities, it must be considered on new premises, where the sound quality now weighs heavier. Google Home easily …
In terms of size, the Sonos One is almost identical to the Play: 1, but the look is a little more discreet to be able to blend even more into the interior. The buttons on the top have provided space for touch controls to start and stop playback as well as control the sound level. …
After drawing an Amazon account with a street address in a supported country (we used U.K.), the initial setup is straightforward and intuitive. If you have a smart product that you do not find with “add device”, then it may still exist as a “skill”. We noticed this, for example, with our robot vacuum cleaner …
The world is modernizing at a furious pace, and the home is getting smarter. Products are getting smarter individually, and now the time has come for them to work seamlessly together. The solution lies in a smart speaker. In other words, a compact speaker that is connected to the home network, and which with a …
Some are willing to go further than others in the search for the perfect sound. In the subject of speakers, this is a real craft art. And with the Kaya 90, South African – and British – Vivid Audio has given itself an extra challenge. Namely, to make a relatively compact floor-standing speaker behave as …
One often hears from hi-fi producers – and we say so ourselves – that the goal is to render the music as unaffected as possible; from the audio source, all the way through the signal chain and out to the listener. To get closer to the artist and all that. But why then do all …
Although the French hi-fi brand Elipson has been around for more than 80 years, where they have received awards in their home country for their often science fiction-like design, they have never been particularly well-known here, and in fact we have only tested one single product from them earlier, namely the compact speaker Prestige Facet …
You are not alone if you find it difficult to choose a new table speaker. The selection is huge and it is not easy to find the best ones. The safest thing is to choose a manufacturer you know or have heard of. If it says Bowers & Wilkins on the speaker, there is often …
Argon Audio tries to change its image as the Hi-Fi Club’s cheap brand, but at the same time keep its low prices. We have previously tested, among other things, the active speakers Forte A4, which sounded extremely convincing despite a low price. With the Argon Audio Forte A55, Argon Audio has raised both ambitions and …
I could tell it felt like a déja vu. That I had been here before. Because it absolutely looked like something I had been involved in before, in 2013 if I remember correctly. I had to check. The answer was 2014. At least that was when I published the test of Sonus faber Olympica III, …
Review: Sonus faber Minima Amator II I do not remember when it was, but it’s almost 30 years ago. At that time I owned the first editions of Sonus faber Electa Amator. A hand-built, medium-sized, two-way walnut speaker. A nice craftsmanship, and an exquisite sound quality. The speaker was a success and has since been …
The Danish brand Vifa tends to impress us with speakers that are not only beautiful to look at, but that actually sound as good as they look. Such as Vifa Copenhagen. On the other hand, you get a slight chin drop when you look at the price tag. These are lifestyle speakers for those who …
We have previously tested a majority of Urbanista’s headphones, which often combine good style with an attractive price. Like the test-winning Urbanista Seattle Wireless. But now we come to Brisbane, the largest and most expensive speaker in the range, which also consists of Sydney and Melbourne .. Construction and handling Urbanista has opted for a …
From Swedish Sudio, we have previously only seen headphones in different formats, and we have only tested their in-ear plugs. Such as the beautiful Sudio Vasa Blue. Now they have also started with speakers in the form of portable and battery-powered Sudio Femtio. Construction and handling Like the previously mentioned earplugs, Femtio looks very pretty …
Jays probably knows most people as a Swedish headphone brand. But last year, they actually started with speakers as well. Partly with the impressive multi-room speakers S-Living One and Three, partly with the portable speakers s-Go One and Three. This time we skip the smaller and cheaper One, and go straight to the Jays s-Go …
