@fuzzmanmatt I brought the mini last week and it sounds great. I am in for this one for the watts. I dare you to find s 50 watt bluetooth speaker for 80 dollars.
Morningsave has the Libratone Zipp Mini for $79. The mini has 75 watts and a few more WiFi features (like the Zipp Mini does Spotify Connect if you have a premium account). Of course, it looks like a pill and this is cuter.
@ggrochr@sippinndippin
Morningsave’s zipp mini specs are wrong (i think they mistakenly just double pasted the regular Zipp specs) but the zipp mini it’s actually only 60W according to the now active Libratone website and the user manual listed specs that I screen captured here
@ggrochr@sippinndippin i mean for $20 more the the regular zipp seems the best buy. extra tweeter, larger woofer and almost double the amp power.
also found no mention of the bluetooth aptX in the mini manual.
@Octomeh@sippinndippin Having used the big Zipp for a couple of days, I am pretty confident both the Zipp Mini and this One Click have enough power and sound good for their size. The 2 Zipps have WiFi (and Bluetooth), the One has only Bluetooth. That is the biggest difference for me and why the Zipps are worth more (to me). Wifi means I can listen to Internet Radio without using my phone (there are 5 memory spots you can preset). It also means I can listen to Spotify through the connect app…and then turn off my phone. I love it, and would buy the One Click too if it was a be cheaper.
I just bought the Meh Libratone big round speaker last week for $100. It looked like a good deal and it was. Beautifully packaged in a tubular box, much bigger than I expected. Great sound. It’s Crystal clear, good high frequency, well balanced base that doesn’t overload the music. It can blast loud, and the sign of high quality, it’ sounds great at low volume with the best volume range of control I’ve seen in a Bluetooth speaker. If this one is as good as the one I bought, don’t hesitate, buy it. My one regret, I didn’t buy 2 or 3 more. One note, compared to my. Bose 450 that cost me a lot more, there is a slight drop off in midrange frequency but my libratone still sounds awesome. However, in $100 range, the JBL flip is incredible too
There’s no way I’d spend $80 on something I’ll never receive. I wonder if Meh.com realizes people would pay more for shipping if they actually received their product… instead I’m on Twitter with an account I made exclusively to troll Pitney Bowes…
So how was the term, ‘bluetooth’ conceived? (I now have an image in my head with Alfred E Newman smiling w/a Blue tooth. Now it’s stuck there.) Ears are the speakers.
@Felyne The name and logo come from the name of the Danish king Harald Bluetooth, who united a bunch of vikings in the 10th century to become a single kingdom. The logo is a combination rune of the runes for H and B.
@Felyne@harveydangerLearning something! That’s why we come here! And buying cheap crap we don’t need. And bitching about Pitney Bowes. Or sometimes buying wine at the other site, so we can drink away our worries about when our Meh stuff will arrive, or why our credit card bill is so high with nothing but bluetooth speakers, power banks, and occasional poorly-marketed kitchen items.
Yeah, I know this is the modern equivalent of a transistor radio, but 91 or 93 db is not extremely loud.
My hi-fi speakers are rated at 95 db with one watt, for comparison.
You can make very loud stuff that sounds terrible. I take it from the history of this company (though failed…) that they did focus more on quality sound, and less on just “boom” and harsh volume. Or so I’d hope, anyway.
Does anyone know how the playlist selection works on this? I have been looking for a speaker for a toddler to select his own favorite songs/playlists (which I would of course set
up and manage).
@Sardinicus The One Click is a Bluetooth speaker, not a smart speaker, so any playlists/favorites you set up would be in the Libratone app on your phone. You program and access them there. So, only useful for a toddler with a phone I think.
Ok, I don’t know nothin about nothin, but I have an Echo Dot, and sometimes Alexa plays music for me. Will this thing pair with my Echo so I can play Alexa’s music in my garage?

Don’t think so.
This is an all-around sound deal
Libratone? Sounds like one for the books.

Aaaaand … No purple. Meh!
50 Watts? I feel like that cant be right unless they are using that magic crazy math those home theater in the box use.
@darkzrobe Probably uses a Class D amplifier, so that spec is likely not inflated
If only I could have others over for a Summer party.
Who am I kidding? That would not happen even without Covid-19.

POPSOCKETS! SPA KITS! POLLY POCKETS! AWESOME!
@joejoebells You can buy more on Morningsave.
I am just going to “speak” this one in reminds me of the Panama papers.

@admiralpoopants You’re in luck! For $2 you can get it faster:

@yeld It’s not the dBs; it’s how you use them.

@ggrochr @Sardinicus What sort of parent would deprive their toddler of a phone? Phone, water, food, poop wiping… in that order, right?
