Not much in the way of controls on the Zipp. Just a power button with Libratone's bird logo
Surrounded by plus/minus volume controls. A couple of little buttons on the back to select WiFi or PlayDirect. That's it.
What's the first thing you look for in a speaker? Good audio

Admittedly
The Jambox is much more portable. The Libratone ZIPP is about the size of a roll of paper towels
So you really can't tote it around in a backpack or toss it in your purse
As you can with smaller Bluetooth speakers. But you're paying for audi
I would love if it were water-resistant
Many source devices can't access Wi-Fi services while connected to the Libratone
Or need to use pricey data plans
The Zipp only has 4 hours of battery life with wireless on
It's not compatible with Android smartphones and tablets (no Bluetooth)

Big sound & bass, quirky & colourful designs, multi-room/pairing possible, affordable considering competition, simple app setup & control
Not the very cleanest sound (great for the price though), it's rather large, touch control occasionally fussy
The Libratone Zipp is a total rework of its 2012 original. The new quirky zip-up design is fun, while the physical size - which perhaps makes it a bit too large to cart around outside of the house - lends well to stomping bass and audio output consi...
Earth shattering bass, Libratone's SoundSpace Link support, Design and build quality
Price tag, App functionalities, Closed soundstage
There's a lot to like about the Libratone Zipp. It takes multiroom principles and applies true portability with its built-in battery and design. Provided you're able to maintain a wireless connection to your router, you can take the music outside into you...
Lacking some drive, Slightly closed-in presentation,
Undoubtedly, the new Zipp is a success; a worthy sequel that proves this concept has the legs to keep up with a market that has flourished as much as Libratone's reputation over the past few years.It probably doesn't stand out as much as its predecessor...
Abstract: I have no doubt there were instruction initially but this product was not new when it arrived with me. If you have an ‘i' or MAC device there is a fool proof way of setup. For those connecting to a PC, Android or Microsoft Phone it requires a few fairly s...

The Libratone Zipp creates wonderful sound that flows out and touches you right in the feelings. It delivers music in such a way that gets people up and moving, an aspect that is sometimes lost on many other speakers. I was dubious about the wool covers...
