Streaming to the "GGMM E-2 Portable Speaker via Android Phone?
Hello, Well I just got my new GGMM E-2 Portable Speaker with Alexa yesterday, and I'm pretty impressed. I really love the built-in Alexa functionality. The only problem is that I have to keep the speaker in WiFi mode to use it. Is there any way I can stream spoken notifications from my Android Nexus 5x phone to the speaker, and also be able to use the Alexa feature too? Any other tips you can give for getting more out of this little GIANT would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Definitive Technology W9 Speaker
Here's another speaker right up there with the wonderful B A5 and a7 speakers. I've had one of these for around about a year not. The W9 is bigger than the A7 so you'll need to find a reasonable table for this one though it can be put up against a wall as it has no bass port. The W9 is driven by 6 drivers, - 2 tweeters, 2 woofers and 2 side firing mid range drivers make up the set -. emerse yourself in 180 wats RMS of Digital Amp power. The W9 cannot be connected to the USB port of a computer but it does have a Toslink Digital input, an Analogue Aux-In and can stream from the Play-Fi App so all your radio and music needs should be well and ttruly taken care of. Here's a recording of the Definitive Technology W9 in full flight made on my Sony PCM-D50 Digital recorder. The W9 is at the bed head, and I'm standing at the foot of the bed with the recorder, yep gold old fassioned built-in microphones used here folks. You'll notice that I tweak the levels of the recording slightly at the beginning of the track. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zr7gbe1nznbuz5q/Recording%20of%20the%20Definitive%20Technology%20W9%20Speaker.flac?dl=0 -- ** "For the gardener nothing is more handier than bulbs, I mean the one's you put in the ground and not the electric light one's." **
RE: speaker volume problems
Hey. Are Rock Steady and Audio Stocker normalisation plug-ins? I have never used one of those, though I can understand how they would be useful. I have audio from many different sources and so the volumes do vary, but because I don't use such plug-ins, I just adjust the volume as needed, which I think I actually prefer doing. If you're having problems with your plug-ins, maybe they aren't playing nice with your audio setup. Are you using Windows 10? If Winamp itself is corrupt, I usually find that a reinstall solves all issues. Although it's probably not strictly speaking necessary, you should probably get the latest build of Winamp (final build?) if you are using Win 10. I don't know about Windows 7, but in W10 you can adjust volume in the speaker settings for each individual running application. It sounds like you already know a lot of this kind of stuff, though, so I'm not sure this will be any help. Still, go to the speaker icon thing in the system tray and click the context menu, and you should see a volume panel that may help, since you can adjust your browser volume independent of JAWS. Since you mentioned youtube, though, it sounds like maybe the slider on your youtube volume got turned way down. If you have an account, youtube should "remember" this and so won't readjust your volume whenever you open a session and play a new video. I *think* you can adjust the slider control using JAWS, but to be perfectly honest, I have never even played with it, so I'm not sure. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of joanne Sent: Monday, August 21, 2017 11:02 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: speaker volume problems First problem I have with my speaker volume--sorry there are a couple here--is when I go to youtube and I need to raise the browser's volume--be it Firefox or Internet Explorer--so I can hear what's playing, Jaws volume goes up as well. Today I had to raise the browser to 100 because the video played too softly, and Jaws acted as though I wanted it raised as well and was just booming. So I wonder if something needs to be tweaked so only the volumes I specify will go up or down under "speakers, volume control." The other really annoying thing is that, when playing files in Winamp, there is an unbelievable difference in volume between files when they start. I have used both Rock Steady and Audio Stocker for years, but neither helps this problem. And the contrast is pretty big, not just songs with a little volume raise or lower. I'm wondering if something is corrupt either in Winamp or my speaker volume sets or both? Thanks.

Re: Marley Get Together Bluetooth Speaker
Yeah That's what I thought when I read the subject line. So how good is it? How's the frequency responce? I know you said it had lots of bass. But is it smooth cinimatic bass or the loud just boom boom kinda thing teens like? Also how does it do with hi frequencies? Is it nice and crisp? 1 of the first things I ever try speakers with is Godzilla 1998. The first seen where they feed it fish. Cause tthe tornado blast roar has a real hi pitched wistle to it that only real good crisp speakers can do. Also right there too ya get to try out the bass cause of the foot steps.

Bose Soundlink Mini II Speaker
Took delivery of one of these and consequently paired the spekaer with my iPhone. Even the pairing of the speaker with my iPhone for an initial test was enough to prove to me that Bose have certainly improved the speaker for the delivery of sound and I can therefore confirm that mid range and treble elements are far more pronounced than was the case with the original Soundlink Mini speaker. Bose have -as you probably alreayd know from our list discussions - stuck to the tradmark alaminium shell so little has changed between the original Soundlink Mini and current model in that regard. The speaker phone did surprise me with its very nice sound and great volume range, the party on the other end of my call reported that the audio was very decent but then again my phone is able to take advantage of HD Voice quality.
Sony SRX-x99B Speaker System
For those looking at a “Stand-Alone” speaker system then take a look at the Sony SRS-x99B when you’re out shopping. I’ve linked to a review below and I’ve not seen the system myself yet but I certainly intend to. The author of the review points out that the Sony unit doesn’t sound quite as good as the wonderful B Zeppelin Air however functionality and flexibility of the Sony unit is far better and this might suit some at a slight sacrifice in sound quality. For example the Sony boasts a whole heap of connectivity options right out of the box which includes Chromecast streaming. The Sony can play HD Audio files from a USB stick or network. Having said all that I really need to see one of these units before I can be convinced ion its usability from the perspective of a person without sight. The sony has a touch panel on the top for manipulation of Volume and so on and this presents a slight problem, if the controller App for the Sony isn’t accessible? Well their still might be ways around that but will have to experiment and I’ll let the list know what I find. In the meantime you’ll find a review for the Sony at Sony SRS-X99 review | TrustedReviews <https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t=j==s=web=1=rja=8=0ahUKEwjIicS1k83RAhUGHpQKHS_1BvcQFggeMAA=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trustedreviews.com%2Fsony-srs-x99-review=AFQjCNF9qqnYwWTgISt_mEoKALpiYHLreg=bzdzst5EPeZ2FeL5PNsFvg> ** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system
By the way I think I can manage the issue of the right speaker getting too hot - if it ever does -, I just put a moist sponge on the metal top and refresh that every once and a while. Course the hot weather we’re having doesn’t help much. I”m sure that B have taken the heat factor into account but they probably didn’t take into account the fact that a computer system is on 24/7 as mine is. > On 5 Jan 2017, at 11:25 am, Mary Otten <maryot...@comcast.net> wrote: > > I never even checked out those jacks on the speaker.

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system
I made a mistake in something I said about this speaker system so time to correct. I said the unit had two Aux-In connections, it only has one, the top of the two 3.5MM sockets is a headphones output and a very good headphones output indeed, just tried it with my worst pair of headphones and things sound reasonable. Well actually my worst pair of headphones aren’t too bad, can’t remember the model of the Senheiser’s now but we’ve talked about them on list often enough, I bought them along with all the Podcast production equipment around about a year ago I think it was, these Senheiser’s aren’t the best but for $50?

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system
The remote control is easy enough. At the top is the power button Below that is the volume up button . Then a row of 3 buttons, back, pause/play and then forward. Then the volume down button and below that the source selector button which is slightly indented. You know the top of the remote as there’s a small indent for your thumb at the back, that’s the top. > On 5 Jan 2017, at 6:54 am, Jamie Kelly <otrja...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Yep, agree Dane, amazing sound, just working out the remote control and if I > can check or update firmware. > > Jamie > > -Original Message- > From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Dane > Trethowan > Sent: Wednesday, 4 January 2017 10:54 PM > To: PC Audio Discussion List <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > Subject: Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system > > I don’t know in American dollars I’m afraid, I’m estimating no more than $300? > I know here they retail for $749 and I got a pair on sale for $599. > >> On 4 Jan 2017, at 10:39 pm, Brian Olesen <br...@blindkom.dk> wrote: >> >> Hi Dane, >> What is the cost for those nice beasts? >> >> Brian >> >> -Oprindelig meddelelse- >> Fra: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] På vegne af Dane >> Trethowan >> Sendt: 4. januar 2017 03:31 >> Til: PC Audio Discussion List <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> >> Emne: The B MM1 Computer speaker system >> >> And hello to the other list members I know who have this speaker system and >> I’m curious to know if you’ve found what I’ve found with this system. >> Firstly I knew what to expect - well I assumed I did - and for the most part >> I was right but there’s no doubt about it, the best place to listen to any >> product is in your own home thus my findings below. >> Firstly why is it that what you bring home looks smaller than it did in the >> shop or on the shelf?

SV: The B MM1 Computer speaker system
Hi Dane, What is the cost for those nice beasts? Brian -Oprindelig meddelelse- Fra: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] På vegne af Dane Trethowan Sendt: 4. januar 2017 03:31 Til: PC Audio Discussion List <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Emne: The B MM1 Computer speaker system And hello to the other list members I know who have this speaker system and I’m curious to know if you’ve found what I’ve found with this system. Firstly I knew what to expect - well I assumed I did - and for the most part I was right but there’s no doubt about it, the best place to listen to any product is in your own home thus my findings below. Firstly why is it that what you bring home looks smaller than it did in the shop or on the shelf? That’s exactly how the B MM1’s looked when I set them up on my desk but I’m not complaining and in fact I’m filled with wonder as to how such a good sound can get out of speakers around 3 inches across by 5 inches high? These things are certainly nice and small for the desktop and sit so well on the desktop too so they’re not likely to be knocked over in a hurry. There’s a bit to setting up this system, you have to obviously plug the left speaker into the right, B use a proprietary plug on the end of a lead from the left speaker which plugs into a socket on the bottom rear of the right one, the right speaker is where everything else connects including the power supply, the uSB connection to your computer and the two AUX-in devices if you so desire some. The cables - all except the Aux-in cables - have to be slotted out of the connections through slots in the lower rear of the speakers otherwise the speakers won’t grip the desktop properly and slotting the cables is easy and logically straight forward. So time to play some of the great FLAC files I have and I wasn’t disappointed in fact - in some areas - I was astounded at the wonderful sound stage these speakers exhibited, a wonderful stereo field indeed. If you’re looking for absolutely massive bass then these speakers aren’t for you but if you’re looking for a speaker set designed for your music as you sit at your desk then the B MM1 won’t disappoint at all. Yes, the right speaker - where all the circuitry is - does get quite warm during use but I believe the top metal plate is probably designed to be warm to dissipate any heat generated inside the speaker itself so nothing to be alarmed about. ** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.

RE: The B MM1 Computer speaker system
Yes, the right speaker stays hot unless you turn it off. When I bought the MM1s, it stayed hot even when I turned off my PC. A B rep told me the setting to change so that it automatically turns off when I close down or reboot the computer. Unfortunately, I don't remember what that setting is because I haven't needed to change it for all the years I've had the speakers. Like you, Mary, I turn mine off from time to time. Even so, the rep assured me the right speaker doesn't get so hot that it's a danger. I take that with a grain of salt, even though I trust those guys. They're professional and helpful. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Mary Otten Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2017 10:26 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system Well, all I know is that I found that my right speaker was getting quite warm if I didn't turn them off.

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system
Well, all I know is that I found that my right speaker was getting quite warm if I didn't turn them off.

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system
Absolutely right Mary, when you’ve positioned yourself in line with the speakers then they sound utterly gorgeous. I’ll take note of what you mentioned about powering the speakers down when not in use, I actually thought the speakers powered down themselves after a certain amount of time when not in use? > On 4 Jan 2017, at 2:12 pm, Mary Otten <maryot...@comcast.net> wrote: > > I would say that your observations fit pretty well with mine.

Re: The B MM1 Computer speaker system
I would say that your observations fit pretty well with mine. The sweet spot for those speakers is definitely seated at your desk with the speakers properly positioned. Also, when not in use, turn them off. If you leave them on, that right speaker will get hot even if you're not using them actively. At least, minded. I have had them for years. It could be they modified something a little bit to make that not happen. I had never seen them in a store, so I can't comment on your perception that they look smaller when you get them home then they did when you saw them in the store.

The B MM1 Computer speaker system
And hello to the other list members I know who have this speaker system and I’m curious to know if you’ve found what I’ve found with this system. Firstly I knew what to expect - well I assumed I did - and for the most part I was right but there’s no doubt about it, the best place to listen to any product is in your own home thus my findings below. Firstly why is it that what you bring home looks smaller than it did in the shop or on the shelf? That’s exactly how the B MM1’s looked when I set them up on my desk but I’m not complaining and in fact I’m filled with wonder as to how such a good sound can get out of speakers around 3 inches across by 5 inches high? These things are certainly nice and small for the desktop and sit so well on the desktop too so they’re not likely to be knocked over in a hurry. There’s a bit to setting up this system, you have to obviously plug the left speaker into the right, B use a proprietary plug on the end of a lead from the left speaker which plugs into a socket on the bottom rear of the right one, the right speaker is where everything else connects including the power supply, the uSB connection to your computer and the two AUX-in devices if you so desire some. The cables - all except the Aux-in cables - have to be slotted out of the connections through slots in the lower rear of the speakers otherwise the speakers won’t grip the desktop properly and slotting the cables is easy and logically straight forward. So time to play some of the great FLAC files I have and I wasn’t disappointed in fact - in some areas - I was astounded at the wonderful sound stage these speakers exhibited, a wonderful stereo field indeed. If you’re looking for absolutely massive bass then these speakers aren’t for you but if you’re looking for a speaker set designed for your music as you sit at your desk then the B MM1 won’t disappoint at all. Yes, the right speaker - where all the circuitry is - does get quite warm during use but I believe the top metal plate is probably designed to be warm to dissipate any heat generated inside the speaker itself so nothing to be alarmed about. ** Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the halfwits in this world behind.

Re: Now I have my B T7 Speaker
Sized at 4.4 x 8.25 x 2.15 inches and weighing in at just over two pounds, I'm considering the new Bose Soundlink Mini as it has a hands free speakerphone and the bass isn't as heavy as with the older Bose Soundlink Mini I just gave away. On 25/10/2016 6:57 PM, Anders Holmberg wrote: Hi! So how small is this beauty? I broke the aux connector on my bose soundlink mini II but the bluetooth seems to work.

So first I think it best to mention what you're not going to get from this speaker. No, it doesn't have a hands free speaker phone. No, it does not have overpowering bass as the Bose Soundlink does - not to be confused with the latest Soundlink Mini. - No, the speaker cannot be charged from a USB port though the speaker does have one for servicing and firmware updates, the external power supply that comes with the speaker has to be used for charging or powering the speaker from a mains outlet. No, at $549 Australian the T7 isn't a cheap Bluetooth speaker system. So with all that in mind we soon realise that the T7 is catering for a particular person, those who enjoy listening to their music collection on the go. All the B products I have are detailed even from the point of unpacking that's obvious, anyone would think that we're talking about a gold bar here when it comes to the packing of the T7, foam padding as part of the lid and the bottom of the T7 box for instance. The T7 looks like no other Bluetooth speaker I've seen thus far, a metal frame at front and back bulging out from a rubberised frame in the middle. On the top of this are your control buttons, the bluetooth pairing button, transport control buttons, volume up/down buttons and so on. Of course this led to some confusion on my part as I thought the power button would be on the top with the rest of the controls but no, the power button is a concave button towards the bottom right hand side of the unit, well out of the way and not likely to be knocked I thought, when I finally discovered where the power button actually was. Turning on the T7 presents the ears with a lovely musical introduction to tell us that the T7 is ready and yet a further melodious tone is heard to indicate a connection with a Bluetooth device. Another distinctive sequence of notes is heard when the Bluetooth pairing button itself is pressed and further short musical scores sound when the Bluetooth is disconnected. So what you say, many Bluetooth speakers sound tones but not short sequences of notes. For the tests I used two devices paired to the T7, the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Apple iPhone 6 so before we go any further - if you're thinking about a B T7 and you have an iPhone - even though the iPhone doesn't have AptX - - you wn't be disappointed, more on that later. So what do we get when selecting the music player on the Samsung S6, double-tapping the "Play" button and turning up the volume of the T7 to a comfortable listening level? A well defined sound from the T7 and when I say well defined that's exactly what I mean, one could be forgiven for thinking they're listening to a pair of well spaced bookshelf speakers. The presence of instruments in a track is well heard on the sound stage. The bass is there though - as I stated before - if you're looking for something with overpowering bass then you're going to be disappointed, I call the T7 a system that produces the bass honestly. The mid range is excellent and the highs? Well obviously not as good as a system with dedicated tweeters perhaps but they're certainly there to be heard, the DSP of the T7 truly shines. I noticed something else when putting my hand on the desk the T7 was standing on, no vibrations from the T7 of any sort so the T7 doesn't rely on the surface its standing on to allow you to hear bass notes, have you ever thought your house might sustain serious structural damage from all those bass heavy notes going through your walls and floor? I know with some systems I've used I can feel the bass coming through the walls and floor a few rooms away from where the speaker actually is but not with this little beauty, absolutely incredible. Listening to the speaker paired to the iPhone 6 was also a pleasure, the same characteristics of the speaker are to be heard though the sound from the iPhone 6 didn't sound quite as airy as that from the Samsung Galaxy S6 with its AptX encoding though perfectly listenable and perfectly understandable as to the slight difference in sound so come on Apple, not all you

A well defined sound from the T7 and when I say well defined that's exactly what I mean, one could be forgiven for thinking they're listening to a pair of well spaced bookshelf speakers. The presence of instruments in a track is well heard on the sound stage. The bass is there though - as I stated before - if you're looking for something with overpowering bass then you're going to be disappointed, I call the T7 a system that produces the bass honestly.

I noticed something else when putting my hand on the desk the T7 was standing on, no vibrations from the T7 of any sort so the T7 doesn't rely on the surface its standing on to allow you to hear bass notes, have you ever thought your house might sustain serious structural damage from all those bass heavy notes going through your walls and floor? I know with some systems I've used I can feel the bass coming through the walls and floor a few rooms away from where the speaker actually is but not with this little beauty, absolutely incredible.

RE: bluetooth speaker recomendations
Against the original mini. They said the mini has more bass then the mini 2. Oh yeah the System 3 has super epic bass. Super crisp highs and everything. But that 1's big. I know that 1 my sister Johana use to have 1. I listened to Godzilla 1998 on it. That's why I know the highs were good. Cause when it does what's called the tornado blast roar the SL system 3 really showed the hi whistely part of the roar real well. That's how I test for highs.

RE: bluetooth speaker recomendations
My nephew Andrew has the Beats Pill and it's okay. There's the dancing watter blu tooth speakers and they are only 20 something dolars. I got a pare of these from a girl that use to come around selling stuff. They were okay for what they were. I do like bose so the watter 1s didn't do much for me. Other then the fact that there's true separation as there are 2 actual separate speakers. So they were better for the mixes I make from the audio from DVDs I create from stuff I extract with DVD Audio Extractor. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of John Covici Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2016 8:57 PM To: pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: bluetooth speaker recomendations Hi.

B A7 Speaker System
Hi! I've mentioned this unit before when we were discussing the B MM1 computer speaker system. I didn't know at the time but the B A7 can also be used as a speaker set with your computer. The A7 has a USB connection on the back along with some others which I'll get to in a moment. The purpose of the USB connection is to enable the link between the A7 and your computer. Once the A7 is connected it appears in Windows or on a Mac as another sound device so "Go Your hardest!" The other connections on the back of the B A7 are the Ethernet port for connection of the device to the Network for AirPlay use - you can of course use the old 2.4GHZ Wi-Fi if you prefer - and a line-in jack which also takes a Toslink mini connector for digital sources. The A7 is a real party animal and should fill most rooms with decent quality sound no matter where its put. We're talking 100 watts RMS of solid power here, 25 watts each per channel to drive the mid range and tweets and a 50 watts built-in sub-woofer to help things along - and I thought the smaller Brother in the B A5 had enough bass. without the woofer. -- ** Those who don't need help are prepared to help themselves
Re: best air play speaker system/ doc.
I don't own a Zeplin but I have owned an A5 and will have an A7 shortly all of which work in a similar way. I also had the B Z2 which is similar. The tricky part may be in the setup of the unit to connect to your network. There are two ways of doing this, either by using the B IOS/Android App or manually. Using the B App is probably the hardest for a blind person and - accessible as the App is - there's very little that can be done about it as one has to be able to see the lights on the front of the unit to determine what to tell the App. The manual mode is easy enough, you joing the units own built-in Wi-Fi network, launch your browser and configure from there using the HTML interface or you can directly connect the Unit via a LAN cable and configure that way.

Portable AirPlay Speaker with USB & DLNA | SRS-X77 | | Sony AU
Hi! Was wondering if anyone had seen this speaker system at all? I've been looking for reviews and thus haven't found all that much to recommend this portable speaker system. I've given a link to it on Sony's web site so people may have a look. Up until now I only knew of one portable speaker system which was worth getting that had DLNA and a whole host of options. Sure, the Denon Cocoon portable isn't a brilliant sounding portable speaker system but it does boast a whole heap of connectivity options including DLNA, AirPlay, LAN port, playback of multiple formats including HD audio formats, 6 hours of battery life from a built-in rechargeable battery, a remote control as well as total control from an IOS/Android App and even built-in Internet radio through vTuner. The sony mentioned here is the closest I've found to the Denon, the Sony doesn't have the Internet radio but it does have Bluetooth, an option that the Denon model regretfully omits. The Denon Cocoon will also handle an IOS device docked to it directly, yes something so rare these days and still the demand is high for such a beast with a Docking facility. Anyway judge for yourself, the Sony is cheap enough in Australia so I might see about buying one as the Denon is getting a little old, I've had it for well over a year now and its proved its weight in gold when its come to streaming music literally anywhere in the area of hosue and yard. The Denon Cocoon Portable is a tough AVS plastic designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The Cocoon Portalbe has a bigger brother, the Denon Cocoon Home which is a very formidible speaker system if you're looking for something to sit on the shelf, the Cocoon Home is mains powered and packs in more punch than the Portable obviously. http://www.sony.com.au/electronics/wireless-speakers/srs-x77#product_details_default -- ** Those who don't need help are prepared to help themselves
Re: Seeking Speaker Recommendation
That's right. The amp I've got my eye on is the technics SA 1010, because it's rated at 125 watts, but that's concervatively. People who've used this amp say it can do 150 cleanly, and it can connect an equaliser witch I hope to get in a twenty band version. For speakers I'm thinking paradigm or large advent as possibilities. And this amp is from 86, and the rating is per channel. I'm getting the twenty band equaliser to do more tone shaping. The speakers will have to be bookshelf because of my room, but I know there are good ones, plus the equaliser will be used so I don't have to buy a subwoofer. - Original Message - From: "Singing Sparrow" <sunsh...@abe.midco.net> To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2016 10:03 PM Subject: Re: Seeking Speaker Recommendation what kind of stuff are you looking for for your vintage stereo that you are wanting to build, are you looking for valve/tube componients and the like? also what kind of speakers are you going to want to use with this vintage stereo set up are you planning on going totally analog?

Thanks Dane, This is one of those things when I see "mute the microphones output." I think of muting the output of the microphone to the rest of the system. It is a matter of semantics. LOL.

Can't connect my HK onyx studio speaker to my laptop
Hello Listers, Just yesterday I bought myself a harman Kardon Onyx Studio 1 bluetooth speaker. I had no problems connecting it to my iPhone 5s. How ever, I can't connect it to my windows 7 64 bit laptop. I knowfor a factthat the bluetooth is working on my laptop. Because I am able to connect to my jambox bluetooth speaker. If any one has this particular Harman Kardon Onyx Studio speaker. How have you managed to connect it to your computer? How easy is it to do so? Thanks Michael email/messenger mikeam...@earthlink.net Skype ID mikeameli JFK "What kind of peace do I mean and what kind of a peace do we seek?

Th ease are the speakers that I would like to get and I know that there or more expensive pairs out there but I could afford these. So all thoughts on thees are welcome. -- Casey

Re: Polk Audio Woodbourne bluetooth speaker.
Dane, I'm curious as to your opinion comparing the Bose soundlink that sells for 300 bucks in the States and the t7. Of course, the t7 should sound better, given price difference. But knowing you were pretty high on the SL, I'd be curious. I haven't heard the t7, and with the expenses we've incurred this spring, one is not in my near future, for sure! Mary
Re: Polk Audio Woodbourne bluetooth speaker.
Yeah maybe so. Now the soundlink3 has been brought up, Zilla's roar sounds very good on that speaker too. Not so much on the Mini one though. I have the mini Bose Soundlink and that was one of the first things I tried on it.

Re: Polk Audio Woodbourne bluetooth speaker.
Hi There! The Soundlink III is still a good choice in speaker however - if you're device supports aptX - then the BW T7 is the better way to go, has a better sound, tighter bass etc, sharper highs and a more emphasised mid range. Only problem with the T7 is that its a bigger beast than the Soundlink III. I should also point out that - even if your device doesn't support aptX - then the BW T7 will still be worth the investment, won't sound quite as good as it could because of the lack of the aptX support. I don't know what Apple has planned for its iPhone 7, perhaps the Bluetooth aptX support will be amongst the extra features? I sincerley hope so.

Denon Cocoon Portable Wireless speaker
cananyone tell me more about this speaker? is it just whireless, or is it also bluetooth inabled?
Re: Denon Cocoon Portable Wireless speaker
I believe there are a number of different Denon Cocoon models, the portable model I have is DLNA/AirPlay with an iPhone dock and an Aux-in. I believe there’s a Bluetooth model available but it doesn’t have as comprehensive feature set as mine does. Not only does my model of Cocoon have DLNA/Airplay but it also has built-in Internet radio which is very accessible through the Denon Cocoon IOS/Android Apps. The Cocoon is one of the best portable units I’ve used, a very natural and warm sound with no overbearing tops or bottoms.

RE: Best Bluetooth speaker
Yeah the Bose Sound Link 3 is epic! I have the mini and it's very good for being so small. It has just about as much bass as the SL 3. It sounds very clear too. Sure it doesn't hit all the frequencies the SL3 does but it is small after all. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Anders Holmberg Sent: Monday, January 12, 2015 12:12 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Best Bluetooth speaker Hi!

Re: Best Bluetooth speaker
I would really be interested in hearing a comparison from somebody who has experience with the Bose sl3 and the Creative Roar, which is about half the price of the sl3. Mary
Re: Best Bluetooth speaker
Anyone know how the Soundbrick Plus compares to some of these? It's fairly inexpensive, but I received it as a gift and I like it.

Re: Best Bluetooth speaker
can you tell me more about the dr dre bluetooth speaker? also what about the doc you menchened? On 1/11/2015 2:37 AM, Don Ball wrote: You know That depends on what you want. I looked at speakers at Best buy and Undoubtedly the big doctor dray machine was the biggest and baddest out there for $400. On the other end the bose color is a real nice Hotel room speaker for $129. So it really depends on what you want. Going Retro I liked my bose sound dock that I left on the train last year. Boy Some one got a reall nice gift. Any way they still make the sound doc and in my opinion That was the best portable sound system made. - Original Message - From: Sunshine sunsh...@abe.midco.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2015 2:03 AM Subject: Re: Best Bluetooth speaker Price is no matter i am looking for the absoultly best out there.

Re: Best Bluetooth speaker
the doctor dray was a big afair with two big handles one on each side. The quality may not be audio file but It does play loud. The reason I didn't look at it is it took 8-10 batterys to work it like the old Boomboxes. Look up the sound dock II on amazon. besure to look for the one that uses a rechargable battery. - Original Message - From: Sunshine sunsh...@abe.midco.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2015 3:40 AM Subject: Re: Best Bluetooth speaker can you tell me more about the dr dre bluetooth speaker? also what about the doc you menchened?
