[Review] Logitech UE air speaker

Enjoy effortless audio streaming from any iOS device or computer with iTunes. This great-sounding speaker with Apple's AirPlay technology uses your home Wi-Fi network to stream tunes from your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or laptop. With up to 10 times greater wireless range than Bluetooth, this Wi-Fi speaker gives you more freedom to roam from room-to-room with your mobile device, without losing your music connection. You can even sync music to multiple AirPlay speakers and fill the house with music, all without wires and setup hassles.


The quick-start app makes it easy to begin listening right away. Just dock your device, follow the on-screen instructions to download the app, enter your network password and you're good to go.

Custom-tuned acoustics deliver a big soundstage with impressively detailed stereo sound. This Air Speaker from Logitech Ultimate Ears (UE) sets a new standard for looks and sound. Those subtle curves and handsome black-piano finish looks great in any room.

Once you're set up, any iOS device or computer on your home Wi-Fi network is instantly connected to the speaker. What more can you imagine? You can also stream tunes from your iPad, your friends' iPhones or laptop - no pairing required. Sharing made easy!
