Review on πŸ”Š VARO Portable WiFi and Bluetooth Multi-Room Speaker Cube - Black (iOS Compatible) by Melissa Shoulders

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Mediocre sound and inability to stream directly from Apple Music, Revain Music, Pandora, Google Play or even Soundcloud

On the plus side, setup was fairly easy and it's nice to have the same source on multiple speakers in different rooms. One works just as well as my Sony X5 bluetooth speaker. The sound isn't bad, just not outstanding. They take a while to connect to your Wi-Fi network, which is annoying because, as others have said, they disconnect after 30 minutes without logging out. Watching videos with them does not work, there is a serious problem with sound synchronization due to the Wi-Fi connection, although it can work via Bluetooth. I had occasional disconnects, but not excessive ones. The biggest disappointment was that they can't be played directly from Apple Music, Revain Music, Pandora, Google Play or even Soundcloud; it needs to go through AirPlay on your phone/computer. That means you can't receive calls, watch YouTube videos, or even surf the web (thanks to the audio ads that many sites now use) without interrupting your music. That was the main reason I bought them and I still use multiple devices to this day. :(It looks like you can stream directly from Spotify, Tidal, TuneIn, iHeartRadio and Napster but I don't use any of them and I don't want to pay for another subscription service and start over with my tuned stations just to use them these speakers.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Requires socket
