Libratone ZIPP and MINI

Portable yet powerful

When it comes to portable speakers, you want something that gives out a solid sound coupled with a product that's aesthetically pleasing. This is often hard to come by but Libratone seem to have found the sweet spot with their ZIPP range.

The Libratone ZIPP comes in a wide-range of colours that can be customized using the easy-to-change, fabric cover. The zip feature is a unique touch and the sound is great as well. There's good depth to the sub and the bass is warm, it fills a large room nicely and is perfect for a house party or small outdoor gathering.

It comes in at £219 but for users who want something a little more compact, the ZIPP MINI is the ideal speaker for you.

Priced at an affordable £179, the ZIPP MINI has all of the same features as its older brother, but with a height of 22.4 cm, it's their most portable speaker yet. Naturally it doesn't carry the same weight in sound but it's still very clear and crisp.

What's more, the downloadable Libratone App and Multi Room connectivity means that you'll be able to play your favourite jams wherever you are in the house. The app makes listening to your favourite radio shows, mixes and tracks as easy as the click of a button. Just connect your speaker up to your phone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and you're away.

Further to that, you can also connect multiple speakers to one device to create your own SoundScapes. Being able to connect via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth means playing tracks from any platform is as easy as the press of a button.

Great sound combined with fantastic accessibility and a great design. Libratone are leading the way for portable, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth speakers and we're fully backing it.
