Audio Pro C5 MK II - Compact HiFi Stereo - Bluetooth, WiFi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect - Multiroom, Home, Office - White

UPDATE: I've had the T5 over a year and continue to enjoy it a lot and recommend it. But Addon has a new speaker you might consider: Audio Pro Addon C5 - Compact WiFi Multi-Room Speaker - Grey . The C5 adds wifi connectivity and comes with an app for iOS or Android, for streaming over wifi and multi-room setups. Otherwise, the C5 is exactly the same as this T5: same cabinet dimensions, same size tweeters and woofer, same specs. The C5 is priced $50 higher than the T5, so if you don't need multiroom support and you're happy with Bluetooth streaming, buy a T5 and save $50. --- The Addon T5 speaker is excellent for its intended application, a stationary stay-at-home speaker. It has great sound, it looks really great, and it has a USB power port on the back. It is not a portable bluetooth speaker - it has no battery, so you have to keep it plugged into the wall. And it's too big to throw in your backpack or dufflebag to take with you. If you want something portable, there are lots of other options. If you want high quality sound for your home, the T5 is a fantastic option. I'm comparing the T5 to the Bose Soundlink Mini and Soundlink 3, both of which I own and like very much. The T5 is bigger than both--and sounds bigger. It sounds like a real speaker, not a tiny portable compromise. I think most people would agree it sounds better than both the Bose units I mentioned. You can hear the space between instruments and voices, like with a good hi-fi system. There's more bass, too, but it's not muddy or boomy, it's well balanced with clear mids and crisp highs. One thing, though: it needs break-in time. It'll sound better after 10 or 20 hours of use than it does right out of the box. The speaker's front feet are a bit taller than the rear feet, so the speaker is slightly angled upward - this is smart design, since it's likely to be placed on an end table or shelf below ear-level. As with every all-in-one unit, stereo separation is largely lost when you're more than a few feet away from the speaker. That's true with every self-contained bluetooth speaker unit, though. If you want stereo separation, you need two speakers that can be placed a few feet apart from each other. There are a few bluetooth speakers with this capability. This manufacturer makes one called the Addon T14 (not currently available at Amazon). You can pair two of these: Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM Super Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker, Phantom Black Back to the T5. It's a gorgeous speaker, in my opinion. It has a high-end aesthetic, with a handsome cabinet and carrying handle made of high-quality leather. It's not gaudy or obnoxious, it's somewhat understated (but absolutely not boring), it'll blend in to the decor of your living room or any room. It comes in about 5 different colors. I have the grey one which is quite handsome. The T5 has a standard 3.5mm auxiliary in, in case you want to connect a non-bluetooth device with a cable, like an older iPod. The T5 has a USB power port on the back, which is a handy feature on many bluetooth speakers now. Though the T5 isn't truly portable, it has a small footprint and is easy to carry from one room to the next. It's in my living room, on an end table which it shares with a lamp, there's plenty of room for cocktails or books. There is a version of this speaker that's a bit smaller & more portable and has a built-in battery: the T3. Audio Pro Addon T3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker (White) The T3 is more expensive due to the battery. I'd encourage you to read the reviews of the T5 and T3 at the professional audio website WhatHiFi. If you're looking for a speaker that will be mainly stationary, the T5 should be on your short list. It sounds big, clear, and great, and has an understated but gorgeous high-end look, too. Highly recommended at this price point.

I really am impressed with this little bluetooth speaker. For $100, and given its compact size, it sounds gorgeous and looks beautiful and refined. It doesn't have an internal battery, my mistake for thinking it did, but I still kept it. The bass response is impressive; the long-throw woofer can really punch given how small it is. The sound is very well-balanced and clean. It is easy to move around thanks to the well-designed handle. Bluetooth connection is fast and low-fuss. Aux works great. For sub-$100, it's a good deal comparatively. A no-nonsense, compact, sexy, great-sounding bluetooth speaker that packs a 4-inch long-throw woofer and 50hz (-6dB) low-frequency response.

Setup was every so slightly tricky, in that I had to use Apple's "set up Airplay device" procedure to get it on my WiFi, the Audio Pro app's configuration procedure was useless. Other than that, aside from a long update process, things went smoothly. Configuring the device to use Alexa took about a minute. So far it has worked flawlessly. The sound quality is vastly superior to my Echo Plus 2nd Gen, and at least as good as, and in some respects better than, my Sonos One Gen 2. In fact, I would say this little speaker is as close as you can get at this time to hi fi quality sound with a voice-controlled speaker. I'm tempted to buy another one just to see how good it can get with a stereo pair. Of course, it's $100 more than either the Echo or the Sonos. I have not had any of the operational issues identified by other users. No connection loss, no constant resetting. But I suppose time will tell. For now, it's a 5-star product with a slight price caveat.

I bought this with high expectations based on all the positive audiophile reviews. It's a great-looking device and very simple to set up, but I was really unimpressed by the sound. It's true that it pushes a surprising amount of bass and handles dynamics well for a speaker of its size, but I found that mids and vocals were pushed way forward, and overall the sound is as tinny and fatiguing as portable speakers generally are. It doesn't sound terrible by any means, but it also doesn't sound better than any number of much cheaper options. Unless you're really excited about the app interface and the possibility of multiroom play (I'm not), I don't see anything to justify the pricetag. If you're concerned with sound quality, you're better off spending an extra $100 on basic bookshelf speakers. If you're not, you could just as easily spend $50 on a Chinese-made bluetooth speaker.

Qué difícil es dar con el altavoz adecuado. La ecuación Calidad de sonido+funcionalidades+estética+precio es realmente complicada. Al menos para mí lo es. Por eso estoy escribiendo esto ahora. El Audio Pro Add on C5 lo merece, Estéticamente muy bonito. Bien construido, sólido, y con muchas funcionalidades realmente bien pensadas, ejecutadas (app incluida)... todo lo que en sus especificaciones dice que hace, lo hace y además muy bien y de manera sencilla. Recomiendo ver info en la web de Audio Pro. Pero lo más importante para mí, lo clave, es el sonido, su firma sonora. ¿Qué puedo decir? Literalmente espectacular en todo el espectro de frecuencias. Muy equilibrado y cálido tanto a volumen alto como a volumen bajo, y tanto en Pop como en Folk o Clásica, que es donde yo me muevo. El resultado sonoro que ofrece es increíble, especialmente teniendo en cuenta el tamaño. Para que tengáis una referencia, en mi sistema hifi principal uso unos altavoces BW Matrix 804 -son maravillosos- (miles de € de por medio) Por cierto, fue elegido mejor altavoz 2017 en su rango por la web especializada en Audio What Hi-Fi El volumen es adecuado. Si se busca mucha potencia no es la opción, para eso está el modelo C10. Sin duda lo recomiendo. Yo estoy, literalmente, encantado con él.

Voilà maintenant 8 mois que je l'ai, et nous en sommes très ravi. On voulait avant tout une enceinte élégante et de bon goût, et bien le son n'est pas en reste !! J'adore les belles installations 5.1 et tout le reste mais faut dire que cette enceinte fait très très bien le job !! Son parfaitement équilibré dans un salon de 33m2, ça ne sature pas même volume fort. Je la débranche souvent pour l'emmener dans le jardin, aucun soucis pour se reco sur le WiFi. Le Spotify, un jeu d'enfant, tout est smooth, reconnu sans pb. Les 4 boutons physiques de favoris c'est top !! ( on a enregistré des playlist Spotify en favori et ça marche du tonnerre !!) Je suis juste déçu qu'il n'y ai pas de bouton physique pour musique précédente / suivante. Obligé d'avoir le téléphone c'est bien dommage

Ya teníamos el C3 que si wue realmente tenía bateria interna y en este también indicaba que tenia 30h de batería interna pero si lo desenchufas no da señal de encendido...

muy recomendable...personalmente esperaba algo inferior pero no, para el precio esta muy bien. Tiene buenos bajos y agudos...el estilo es retro lo que le da un aspecto diferente y los materiales no son malos en cuanto a la construcción. Para una habitación de 15 metros esta perfecto

Bought as an speaker that can play music independently. With Spotify, all members of the same WLAN can take turns in playing music and can travel outside Bluetooth range without interruptions on playback. Great sounds for such a small speaker, cheapest one that has the dynamic range to play classical music on a decent level.
