Audio Pro Addon C5 Speaker | Compact High Fidelity WiFi Bluetooth Wireless Multiroom Speaker | AirPlay, Alexa, Spotify Connect (Black -C5A)

I love this speaker. For those fed up with Sonos planned product obsolescence, app and network issues, I highly recommend Audio Pro.

For a single multi-room speaker, this is a delight to listen to. I've been blown away by the detail and the warmth that this delivers. It's especially good with complex beats providing authoritative bass. Frankly, I didn't think it could be as good as some of the specialty reviews suggest. Well, I was wrong. Get it. You'll love it.

I bought this with high expectations based on all the positive audiophile reviews. It's a great-looking device and very simple to set up, but I was really unimpressed by the sound. It's true that it pushes a surprising amount of bass and handles dynamics well for a speaker of its size, but I found that mids and vocals were pushed way forward, and overall the sound is as tinny and fatiguing as portable speakers generally are.It doesn't sound terrible by any means, but it also doesn't sound better than any number of much cheaper options. Unless you're really excited about the app interface and the possibility of multiroom play (I'm not), I don't see anything to justify the pricetag.If you're concerned with sound quality, you're better off spending an extra $100 on basic bookshelf speakers. If you're not, you could just as easily spend $50 on a Chinese-made bluetooth speaker.

UPDATE MAY 2022:Alexa is not capable of reproducing my favorite music while telling her to "reproduce the music that I like". She replies, "heres's your favorite music in Spotify" but nothing sounds. I have to press the play button to start listening my favorite music in Spotify. AUdioPro says all C5A models have the same problem worldwide. Otherwise...It’s a nice looking speaker. It has a well balanced audio in general but it lacks of bass. The highs and middles can be tuned with the app (also the bass) but you need to have a good subwoofer to get all its potential. Also it’s designed to work with more multi room speakers in order to achieve more power (loudness). Doing that you’ll get crisp and clarity as watts can be summed up from speaker to speaker. It sounds exceptionally good when paired with a subwoofer and more Multi-Room speakers. Alone by itself, there are better options like the Marshall Killburn II.

Incredible performance out of a small package. Accurate clean sound reproduction, gets way louder than you'll ever need it to. Setup took 2 minutes. As to everyone complaining about the app, I haven't had a single issue, but if you truly hate it, the Google home app can completely replace it, allowing you to use native music apps. Couldn't be happier!

Just got this yesterday.First, the good stuff: This sounds absolutely wonderful. I am far from an audiophile, but I am pretty good at pretending. I was worried that the bass would overwhelm, it does not. The sound is rich and balanced. I listened to Dave Brubeck and George Winston and they sounded great. I have yet to do a deep dive across music genres. I also listened to the spoken word (radio) and it was clear and again balanced.I also love the looks of this speaker. Your mileage may vary.I could not be happier that I can connect my digital audio player (with all those FLAC files) directly to the speaker. The same for other equipment, e.g. TV. From the manual I can apparently connect my turntable to the speaker, I am not convinced that will work without a pre-amp. However, I did not buy the speaker for my turntable.Now for the truly awful. It took me hours and hours to set up. I have a brand new Asus gigabit dual band router as well as a brand new Netgear modem. I get download speeds close to 600 Mbps, so speed is not an issue. I set my speaker less than a foot from my router and modem and had my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G practically resting on top of the speaker. All of this is to say I have pretty good gear and was well within range for an easy set up. It took hours and hours to set up the application. I tried switching from wifi play to input play (wifi play is correct.) I tried the alternative set up. I tried my old Galaxy 7. I tried my tablet. I tried changing my router from auto to n only, then to legacy. I tried connecting the speaker to my home network on one phone - so I knew it was connected, and it was visible in my network, and tried to set up the app on my other phone. I tried and tried. I even tried an ethernet hard connection before trying to connect through the app. After hours and multiple attempts I set up a guest SSID with a password without special characters and was able to connect. What frustration. Then, when I turned my tablet off and back on I had go through the set up again. Easier this time. Then I had to set up again on my main phone. Again, easier.The app itself is poor. I cannot play Spotify through the speaker unless I use bluetooth outside of the audio pro app or pay for premium service. TuneIn, which is my go-to for radio, is not the same TuneIn downloaded to my phone because one of the stations I listen to daily is not supported on the version in the Audio Pro app. I cannot add a new app to the Audio Pro app - I ( listen to podcasts via Podcast Republic.) Now, the workaround is to listen to those through Bluetooth- which I was trying to avoid.None of the above is a deal breaker, what might prompt me to return this item is the fact that the power plug falls out at the slightest nudge. I have this on my nightstand and have knocked the power cord out twice in 24 hours.Bottom line, this sounds extraordinary, my experience setting up might be exceptional, and the app is lousy.Update:Weeks later and I have packed it up to return. This makes me sad because it sounds fabulous and I really like the way it looks. I am pleased that it offers wi-fi, blue tooth, and 3.5 mm (did I get that size right?) connections. I do not see anything else I want with all of those options.The problem with the plug disappeared once it was close to stationary. Call it user error.So, why am I returning it? Multiple glitches, and I was very close to living with them.Before blaming my network, a speed test showed 400+Mbps download.Two of the preset buttons never lit up. Sometimes they worked and sometimes it took multiple tries to get them to work.Blue tooth had similar issues. Sometimes it would connect and sometimes it would not. There were multiple instances that I could see it was connected in my phone independent of an app as well as on the app itself. The lines showing changes in volume would go up and down. However, there was no sound. Sometimes blue tooth worked immediately, sometimes it took multiple times. Plus, there is a delay for the sound which did not help.I was close to living with all the glitches because I liked it that much. I hit my breaking point when I lost the connection to my network and it would not reconnect. The disconnect happened mid-day with no loss of power and no loss of the internet. I was not ready to play with it for hours to get it reconnected. I will now delete the special SSID I set up to make this work the first time around.Really, I am disappointed. I do not know if I just got a bad item or if these problems are more wide spread.

I don’t believe I’ve ever written a review on anything but am so impressed with the Audio Pro C5 and CSub That here I am! Originally purchased the Marshall Woburn, liked the sound but had issues with connecting it to Bluetooth and realized needed a WiFi speaker . Ordered the Audio Pro C5 and the sub. The sound, connectivity, the whole experience is another level above the Marshall. Love being able to stream over airplay or WiFi, looks super clean and the sound is the best I’ve heard from any speaker system outside of studio systems. . Crisp highs. Immersive bass and a fantastic depth. I will Be ordering more addon series speakers.!

Había escuchado excelentes opiniones del producto pero se habían quedado cortas. El altavoz está excelentemente bien construido, se siente sólido y de buena calidad en todos sus componentes. El sonido es impresionante, los altos son cristalinos y nítidos sin llegar a ser estridentes, los medios son claros y cálidos, bien definidos y muy agradables. Los bajos son im-pre-sio-nan-tes. La tengo en mi oficina y parece que tengo conectado un subwoofer activo. No es que los bajos sean super potentes, simplemente son lo que deben ser pero la profundidad es realmente sorprendente.Si quieres un sistema de audio de calidad, bien balanceado y con bajos sobresalientes este equipo es para ti.

I have this speaker and it keeps skipping on wifi play. The very reason I bought this thing. Called them to ask for support and they asked what modem I was using, sent specs and photos and no response after multiple follow ups. This started a few months back and still no response.Build quality and sound is pretty good for what it is but all that doesn’t matter when the music keeps skipping.

El equipo funciona muy bien y además de ser bonito está muy bien acabado. Lo utilizo para escuchar Spotify y enlaza bien con la aplicación. Contento con la compra.

El altavoz tiene una firma de sonido correcta, si bien el conector para cargar dispositivos no tiene la suficiente potencia ya que no carga el teléfono, o la tableta. Pero si cierto que el sonido es correcto.

Excellent sound quality, option to adjust bass and treble which I do as I'm picky, love having alexa built in so easy to use also the design is beautiful as ever the build quality is first class, I still have the T3 and it's still going strong .For the size of it the performance is very impressive.
