Review on Black Phorus PS5 Speaker - Play-Fi Multi-Room Wireless Audio Streaming for Enhanced SEO by Alex Webster

Revainrating 3 out of 5

PC Multi-Room Speakers Disappointment

It works like a Wi-Fi music speaker, but what I've wanted for a long time is a multi-room PC speaker system. After purchasing this, the PR5, and the HD Play-Fi version for PC, I found that Play-Fi can have either ONE speaker that syncs to PC sounds, or a set of speakers that are based on be played with a long delay of one second. I'd like the main speaker to be synced to the computer and the rest turned off in other rooms, but nothing can get this to work. There is a Windows software called Voicemeeter that can duplicate audio onto two outputs, but Play-Fi actually bypasses this merging as it disables its driver if it's not the selected audio output (to do what I wanted would be Voicemeeter the selected audio output) . and it communicates with the Play-Fi speaker). I repeatedly felt like I finally got the setup I wanted, only to fail it. I would buy a couple of these if it worked. Oh well. I spoke to support about this and they said they are working on a Play-Fi software update that will allow multiple speakers to play with the computer at the same time. I hope it comes out soon, but who knows.

Pros
  • Whole-home listening made easy: DTS Play-Fi multi-room wireless technology lets you add, connect, and control speakers in any room in your home over your existing Wi-Fi network. Includes advanced dual-band WiFi for free use anywhere.
Cons
  • The cable is shorter than the others
