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.

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)

Yes. $400 for an AirPlay speaker isnt all that bad (in our test of the best Airplay speakers, the prices ran $400 to $800). Plus, this one not only pairs easily and independently, but it also looks great and sounds wonderful.Whatever major issues Librat...

So does the Zipp stand up (pun intended) as a portable speaker? The answer is a yes, it does do a great job of providing you with a great and consistent sound no matter what you're playing with it. It's easy to setup and configure, and it's 4-hour batte...

Avec le renouvellement de sa célèbre Zipp, Libratone nous montre une nouvelle fois son savoir-faire en matière d'enceintes portables. Ce modèle est une véritable réussite pour le constructeur danois sur tous les plans : si la Zipp peut aisément se parer d...
Après une utilisation quasi quotidienne de ces Libratone Zipp, nous avons été agréablement surpris par leur qualités et fonctionnalités. L'utilisation est très simple, on peut très bien se passer de l'application une fois que celle-ci sera configuré et c'...

Pas portable, mais transportable, Autonomie de 4 heures seulement en mode sans fil
Avec son enceinte Zipp, le fabricant Libratone fait quasiment un sans-faute. Elle offre une finition exemplaire et un rendu audio à 360° tout simplement excellent pour une enceinte de ce format. Elle s'offre en plus le luxe d'offrir la compatibilité avec ...
Outre son design qui ne laisse pas indifférent (en bien ou en mal), la Zipp est très puissante et se configure simplement, avec ou sans réseau Wi-Fi à proximité. Le souci, c'est que son autonomie est assez faible et – surtout – que le son qu'elle délivre...
