The new Libratone Zipp is a great sounding and fantastic looking Airplay speaker that is incredibly easy to control. In short, the speaker is great. The device comes in at £360, and is battery powered. By using AirPlay, it also connects to your phones without a need for a WiFi network or wires. Simply connect your phone up wirelessly, and the speaker provides you with fantastic sound quality. If you’re looking for a good looking portable speaker, this is it.
Pairing without a router is probably the best bit about the speaker. Press the button on the speaker, and in 30 seconds it creates its own WiFi network which you can connect to wirelessly. You can’t stream anything from Spotify, but it’s ideal for those with a large collection on their device.
