Type of review

Arrived with 3 small cheap plastic feet instead of 4, 4. Found in the package. Naim apparently uses a special glue so if the foot falls off it stays put. A great app works once, but don't expect to use it twice. Uninstalled, reinstalled, stopped working after 30 seconds, rebooted and it took about 2 seconds. Perhaps Naim has never tried that with an Apple 5G phone. Maybe it works with UK phone. Do not connect a music stick as you cannot control it. He just plays the same tracks in the same…

Very bad speakers for this price!

The user interface is bad: For example, it doesn't always "catch" the movement of the finger when adjusting the volume. Entrance voters are evil and it's not clear which is which. I could live with that, but: Setting up the Blue Tooth input takes a long time and has to be re-paired every time I connect. So I ended up going with a 1/8" straight input. And now the problem with the mail: the sound is far from what I expect in this price range. Of course, this can partly be due to the fact that I…

Pros
  • I've always liked it
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as it says it is

Worst streaming device on the market

I chose this product because Naim has a very good reputation in HiFi and I wanted a better streaming device than the HomePod. I actually bought 2 of these (doubles my "fun"). While the sound quality is good but not much better (imo) than HomePod, I've had nothing but issues with one or both devices disconnecting from the wifi, despite one being next to the main wifi router and the other next to the repeater . Basically I have to reset devices every time I want to use them :-(. The iOS app is…

Airplay 2 and Wireless

Just wanted to write a review based on the connection issues I've read about from other reviewers. The attitude was frustrating, very frustrating. The Naim app didn't interact well and I had to restart the setup process multiple times. For reference, I have very fast internet and an orbi mesh system. However, once I completed the setup including updating the speaker software, I haven't had any connection issues since. I primarily use the Apple Airplay 2 and over the past few weeks of ownership…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Frequency

It far outperforms my Echo

Okay - a word of caution first - I'm an old man with a large music library (lots of copied CDs and a few MP3s bought from Revain). I don't use any of the music streaming services so my review will not include any of them. Well - why Naim? I have 5 1st Gen Echos that I bought when they first came out. So far I've been using it to stream my Revain music library and have been very happy with it until last week. The last update broke playlists after I changed one of them using the Revain Music PC…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A few minor things
