These are awesome speakers, i said "these" because i bought two of them. When you pair them together the features on these speakers are really showing off. Not just the benefit of true stereo sound you are getting but you also get all these cool things down here:
You can set one speaker to the left and another one to the right depends on where you seated. With this setting you will get a very powerful stereo sound and you can easily set yourself so you are in the triangle sweet sport.
You can set both of them at Full 360 sounding and with two speakers it sounded like you are in the sweet spot everywhere you go. These speakers does a good job doing 360 degree sounding.
I set one of my speaker to equalizer preset to something more focus on low and high range Rock The House and the other one really target on vocal and mid range like Jazz Club. The result is a very wide dynamic range since each speaker focus more toward a specific range. You can play with these setting and find out your own taste.
There are many features that i haven’t have time to play with but i’m very happy with them. They doesn’t feel cheap, all parts came with them also look very nice. The app’s user interface also very clean and neat looking. I’m gonna stop writing since I start to feel like i’m a marketer for Libertone. :D

What a sweet speaker! As soon as this handsome devil arrived I unpacked it, downloaded the app, put the speaker in pairing mode (long press the top button), connected it to my boyfriend's iPhone, launched Spotify, and we were in business! Seriously, five minutes.
The sound is great. We have pretty varied taste in music, from loud and rocking to acoustic sweet stuff, not to mention leaving NPR on for hours on end. All genres sound great! I was afraid a bluetooth speaker would sound tinny, but it really doesn't. In fact we were rocking out and I became concerned that our neighbors would start banging on the wall. Ah, apartment life.
And I just discovered the Voicing feature in Settings (in soundspaces), where you can set it to different kinds of sound profiles. I chose "Jazz Club," which emphasizes voices, but I also like the "Rock The House" setting. I definitely recommend playing with those to get smoother or deeper sound. Check out Room Settings, too. It seems to make a difference.
The sound was cutting out when my boyfriend would take his phone into the other room, so I thought I would try to connect it to my iMac. I was totally overthinking it. I thought I would have to buy an Airport Express (I have an older Airport Extreme). But I went to the iTunes application on my Mac, and there's an Airplay icon on the top of the window. I just clicked it, and the Libratone Zipp showed up. Cool. Then I went to Spotify on my Mac, and down at the bottom on the right it says Devices; I clicked that and the Zipp was there, too. Really couldn't have been easier.
You do have to redo the sound settings for each input device, but once you get each input set up, they stick. Also, if you like to toggle between Spotify and iTunes on your computer, you have to click on the Airplay button again in iTunes. But really, one click. That's it.
I like the radio option within the Libratone app, too. You can choose 5 station presets. I spent a little time trying to figure out how to access those favorited stations through the app, but it doesn't quite work that way. Once you select your favorite stations, you actually press the heart button on the top of the speaker itself to toggle between stations, which is good too!
Oh, and it is good-looking. And if you get more than one (we're working up to that), you can link them together so your music is playing in every room. And after a full charge (which was fast!), I haven't yet exhausted it.
All in all, I highly recommend this speaker. I actually just recommended the smaller Too speaker to my sister who wanted something more portable, and she loves that one, too. The Zipp is just a perfect living room speaker. I love it.

Excellent sound system. I've been a Bose man for years, but I like this better. Easier to port around, sound is fantastic. Not sure how they do it. Love the sound. Easier to connect to bluetooth than my 4 year old Bose, which can get cranky. Highly recommend this baby.

Please forgive the essay that follows, but we're *that* delighted with our new Zipp WiFi+Bluetooth.
We needed to drag our old Bose SoundDock I (circa the iPod days) into the 21st century and after buying and trying various patches, we stopped cold realizing that we were just throwing good money after bad, winding up with clunky, unreliable third party solutions. Being self-avowed sound snobs, it was time to scrap the old and look for a new speaker system to work with our Apple lifestyle. Though "you get what you pay for" is the best rule to follow, we weren't too keen on forking over more big Bose bucks and bought the Zipp.
Here are some notes:
• Amazing sound for one speaker – it sounds like a two speaker system
• Natural surround sound – pleasant tone that surrounds the listener
• Non-directional with very pleasant bass / vocals are natural / stringed instruments have a sweet tonality.
• Easy to identify individual instruments in the soundstage
• WiFi capabilities allows for no wire tangles especially convenient for outdoor listening
• Application Interface is very intuitive. The in-app offerings of radio stations is amazing – being able to choose a wide variety of musical genres from around the world is fantastic! This is a portal to a universe of musical diversity.
• Room settings are very effective to maximize the timbre of the music
• Imaging of music remains very stable, even if you are walking around the room. The “sweet spot” moves with you vs. conventional two speaker systems that require sitting in one place in order to enjoy the listening experience.
• Indoor – sound is stunning – focused vocals with a soundstage that matches the genre of music being played.
• Strings are natural and sweet – midrange bass is full – vocals are clear and melodic – percussion instruments are clear and sharp.
• Outdoor – bass is amazing – the soundstage is narrower however there is a fullness to the sound that stand out against the background of outside sounds such as wind, street traffic, people talking. We live in New York City – so that’s very impressive.
Last but not least, I regretted not doing an "unboxing video" almost immediately after getting half-way through in that frenzied Christmas-Day-tear-the-box-open way. It was as good, if not better, than unboxing a new Apple gizmo. No kidding. Libratone's whimsical design sensibility starts the minute you take it out of the shipping box. For folks like us, design and quality count, and the Zipp delivers it all. Highly recommended!

Loved the power and quality of a room with 4 of these for a Christmas party of about 100 people. Lots of bass punch. I setup my own WiFi without an Internet router or gateway, only the audio speakers and the ipad were running on the this network. I must warn you that no one mentions this in their review of this product, it has a significant delay probably due to the WiFi being involved. Because of this delay you would never be able to use this system to present video. It was my desire to use this both for holiday party music and to amplify a video presentation. Not gonna happen. Theres about a 3 to 5 second delay from the source to speaker and that's not something anywhere close to a lip sync.So, GREAT for party music BAD for video presentations. It would also be BAD for Live Microphone Public Address due to the long WiFi distribution delay of the audio sync. At least this was my experience. If anything changes I will update.

Loving the big bass on this little speaker! The treble is clear and the mid-range is nice too. What's really cool about this speaker is that you can set it on a table in the middle of the room and it will project sound all around (vs just from the front like a floorstanding or bookshelf speaker).
To give you an idea of how powerful this speaker can be, I took it to work and played it softly in the conference room. When a few of my colleagues wanted to see how loud it would play, we cranked it up about half way but then stopped as it was so loud. We played it at that level for about 30 seconds before the conference room door flew open and we were told to turn it down. Red faced, we did. But it was a great testament to the power of this little speaker.
If you like your sound loud, you should connect via Wifi versus Bluetooth as I found the former provides more intense acoustics.
Since the speaker has a handle and a good battery life (12 hours - although I have not tested that yet), I've been carting it around from room to room and am planning on taking it along to staycations so I don't have to rely on lame hotel iPhone docks.
Overall, this is a modern, clean looking speaker with really great bass and treble.

Wow, spectacular speakers. When my speakers arrived, I had it out of the box, turned on and with a push of a few buttons; I was streaming music via Android on my tablet and my phone. I have a tendency to test everything to its limits so I started with what I normally listen to, which is mainly bluegrass, folk and early baroque on period instruments. I was amazed with the full sound that the Libratone Zipp delivers. For a portable speaker the Zipp performs with great clarity and dimensional separation of the different voices; one feels the space between the performers. In some of Handel operas, Chet Baker recordings, and the songs by Mandolin Orange, I am pulled into the performance, and I hear them as fresh again. The Libratone Zipp make you want to hear to the music again, but not as sounds to fill the background. I would recommend the Libratone Zipp to friends.

Seriously digging this speaker. For me, good sound is at the top of my list in terms of features, and this ZIPP speaker indeed sounds great in my house and outside when I’m hanging out in the backyard. A couple of years ago I was considering hard-wiring all kinds of outdoor speakers and I’m glad I didn’t. This ZIPP does the job at such a lower cost. I feel like I have all the listening options I need now with my various streaming music services. I’ve got tons of Spotify playlists and mixes and I’ve found myself enjoying my tunes a lot more since I got this speaker. Any room I want to move to, the speaker comes with me. I like the 360 sound, and the bass is surprisingly strong. This is a great solution for a lot of my music needs without having to get a crazy expensive sound system. And as a bonus — it looks cool!

Amazing speaker. I couldn’t believe the sound that came out of it when I connected. The richness, the depth, the detail I could hear in the music – it’s remarkable. Our main room is large and the sound was great in every corner. I had a UEBoom2 before, and liked it, but the Libratone totally overwhelms it. It’s hard to believe this kind of sound comes out of it, and it has been working great with Spotify. I’m more than happy with it.

My Libratone has truly liberated my listening experience! I LOVE the ability to stream directly without using Bluetooth- it lets me take calls while playing music, so that the mood isn't ruined when I need to take a call. Plus, direct streaming gives a much wider range than Bluetooth, I can keep the music going even if I run to the store. The sound is amazing, much richer than my other, smaller, bluetooth speakers.
I got the ZIPP in the red color, and is such a nice change from the usual grey/silver/black of my electronics. The touch pad control makes it super easy to control, much nicer to change the song with just one touch versus finding, unlocking, and changing, the song on my phone. My only criticism is that the touch pad isn't super intuitive for people who haven't read the instructions, it took my roommate a little bit to figure out how to change the volume. Overall, a great speaker! Would highly recommend.
