There’s no doubt that Evolve’s speakers would be the first ones we would actually carry outdoors and use anywhere around the house

"Wireless.” In the world of iPod audio equipment, the word has two meanings: one is ideal, the other practical. The ideal wireless device doesn’t use wires to connect to anything, except a power recharger. It can be taken and used an...

The Evolve is let down a bit by the sound quality. It's decent, nothing to write home about, but good enough - and in general the wireless link works well. We did get a bit of spotty performance during our test, but nothing awful.

Wireless speakers and remote control effective at a long distance from base station, auxiliary input allows other devices to go wireless, simple set-up
Remote can’t browse playlists, can’t buy extra speakers without dock (yet), the antennae look vulnerable
We’re not excited by the Evolve’s features in general, but they’re adequate, and we are definitely excited by the wireless speakers. If room-to-room portability overrides a more fully featured remote control, or clock and radio functions...
Superb convenience, Attractive design, Long range, More speakers can be added
Sound could be deeper, Price quite high
Evolve. That’s a good name for these speakers.Gone are the speaker cables; instead, you get a base unit that beams music to the speaker boxes wirelessly. Two three-inch aerials do the beaming. Thanks to this clever development, you can take these s...
