Amazing beautiful sound.

Just spent the last hour comparing the ZIPP sound to my Bose Revolve Plus. To be honest it took me about 10 minutes to determine the clear winner between the two. The Wi-Fi portion of this comment is critical; WiFi transmits more data to the speaker, which means better sound quality. The audio part depends on the product's ability to deliver music in a way that makes best use of the enhanced data; ZIPP has the technical capabilities to deliver such an outstanding sound. Good. The above was a little technical, but you need to understand why ZIPP is exceptional. This is a WiFi connection. Bose uses Bluetooth, which compresses the signal, making the song sound tinny or incomplete. You don't have to be an audiophile to hear the difference. This "metallic" sound is harsh. You can't really understand it, the song just sounds dirty. Spicy. I compared ZIPP (WiFi) and Revolve (Bluetooth) in their use; Housework (95% of the time). There's just no competition. ZIPP's sound outperforms Bose by 50%-65%. I want to be clear; I love Bose products. The first Bluetooth speaker that caught my eye was the Soundlink Mini. I upgraded to Mini II and Revolve Plus. If Bose accepts Libratone's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth model, I'll try this speaker too. Until then. the king is dead. long live the king! Put on your favorite music, have an adult drink and see if you feel the same way.
