It produces just as great quality sound, it connects with no problem, the design is modern and doesn't look like a throwback to the Mod days of the 60s (what's up with this woolly sleeve, anyway?), and the control buttons are easy to access... not buried on the underside of the speaker as is the case here

This is an aesthetically well-designed piece and just so pleasant to see on the table

Excellent design and build quality.

PROs:-beautiful design-sounds incredible-more features than Sonos including Airplay & Bluetooth connection.-omni-directional sound is better than the SONOS.-stylish metal pancake volume knob on top

The design is pure genius

You know, like hearing an "s" when it's said?
