What 5 critics said
Highest score first · all converted to 0–100- 80Trusted Reviews
A clever speaker that blends into a room and sounds enjoyable, but at its price you pay mostly for lifestyle appeal while better-sounding speakers such as the Sonos Era 300 cost less or similar.
Read Trusted Reviews review - 70TechRadar
After six weeks of use the reviewer found it falling short of expectations, with less detailed sound than rivals such as the JBL Authentics 200 and Sonos Era 100 for a high price.

A speaker that disappears into home decor while delivering powerful, full-range sound with surprising bass.
Read Digital Trends review - 60What Hi-Fi?
An appealing idea with a wide, weighty sound, but the audio lacks detail and dynamics, is muffled by the art panel and is beaten by cheaper rivals, so it is not fully recommended at this price.
Read What Hi-Fi? review - 50Tom's Guide
An interesting concept that looks good but sounds muffled with the art panel on and has inconsistent bass; the price plus customisation extras make it hard to recommend except to Frame TV owners.
