Audio Pro C5 MK II Speaker, Compact HiFi Stereo System, WiFi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Office, Beach, Camping, Grey

UPDATE: I've had the T5 over a year and continue to enjoy it a lot and recommend it. But Addon has a new speaker you might consider: Audio Pro Addon C5 - Compact WiFi Multi-Room Speaker - Grey. The C5 adds wifi connectivity and comes with an app for iOS or Android, for streaming over wifi and multi-room setups. Otherwise, the C5 is exactly the same as this T5: same cabinet dimensions, same size tweeters and woofer, same specs. The C5 is priced $50 higher than the T5, so if you don't need multiroom support and you're happy with Bluetooth streaming, buy a T5 and save $50.---The Addon T5 speaker is excellent for its intended application, a stationary stay-at-home speaker. It has great sound, it looks really great, and it has a USB power port on the back. It is not a portable bluetooth speaker - it has no battery, so you have to keep it plugged into the wall. And it's too big to throw in your backpack or dufflebag to take with you. If you want something portable, there are lots of other options. If you want high quality sound for your home, the T5 is a fantastic option.I'm comparing the T5 to the Bose Soundlink Mini and Soundlink 3, both of which I own and like very much. The T5 is bigger than both--and sounds bigger. It sounds like a real speaker, not a tiny portable compromise. I think most people would agree it sounds better than both the Bose units I mentioned. You can hear the space between instruments and voices, like with a good hi-fi system. There's more bass, too, but it's not muddy or boomy, it's well balanced with clear mids and crisp highs. One thing, though: it needs break-in time. It'll sound better after 10 or 20 hours of use than it does right out of the box.The speaker's front feet are a bit taller than the rear feet, so the speaker is slightly angled upward - this is smart design, since it's likely to be placed on an end table or shelf below ear-level.As with every all-in-one unit, stereo separation is largely lost when you're more than a few feet away from the speaker. That's true with every self-contained bluetooth speaker unit, though. If you want stereo separation, you need two speakers that can be placed a few feet apart from each other. There are a few bluetooth speakers with this capability. This manufacturer makes one called the Addon T14 (not currently available at Amazon). You can pair two of these: Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM Super Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker, Phantom BlackBack to the T5. It's a gorgeous speaker, in my opinion. It has a high-end aesthetic, with a handsome cabinet and carrying handle made of high-quality leather. It's not gaudy or obnoxious, it's somewhat understated (but absolutely not boring), it'll blend in to the decor of your living room or any room. It comes in about 5 different colors. I have the grey one which is quite handsome.The T5 has a standard 3.5mm auxiliary in, in case you want to connect a non-bluetooth device with a cable, like an older iPod. The T5 has a USB power port on the back, which is a handy feature on many bluetooth speakers now.Though the T5 isn't truly portable, it has a small footprint and is easy to carry from one room to the next. It's in my living room, on an end table which it shares with a lamp, there's plenty of room for cocktails or books.There is a version of this speaker that's a bit smaller & more portable and has a built-in battery: the T3. Audio Pro Addon T3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker (White)The T3 is more expensive due to the battery. I'd encourage you to read the reviews of the T5 and T3 at the professional audio website WhatHiFi.If you're looking for a speaker that will be mainly stationary, the T5 should be on your short list. It sounds big, clear, and great, and has an understated but gorgeous high-end look, too.Highly recommended at this price point.

I ordered these because I'm working from home all the time now (like many people) and my favorite work area was one of the few in the house with no decent audio. Our Sonos Play 5 has been extremely frustrating with its wifi dropout issues; evidently they're well known for poor performance with anything other than strong wifi, which I wish I had known before I bought them. Anyhow, I wanted the C10 but couldn't find one in stock anywhere, and thus took a chance on the "lesser" C5. If I had paid attention to the measurements and realized how small it is I wouldn't have ordered it, and that would have been a huge mistake! The sound is amazing and the features are excellent, including built-in Bluetooth. It has EQ features which I've played with a bit but ended up leaving at defaults because that sounds great; at first I thought it was a little boomy and needed less bass but I've changed my mind. Our wifi is worse on the first floor than I realized, and the C5 will drop occasionally, but unlike the Play 5 it doesn't lose its mind and refuse to ever play anything again -- it just picks up again when it can, usually in a few seconds. However, when I do carry it down to the first floor I use Bluetooth instead of wifi, thanks to the dropout, and it's flawless. I'm pretty sure there's a C10 in my future, perhaps replacing the Sonos. I know there are features on the C5 I haven't even explored (presets, Spotify connectivity, inputs I don't need, ...). I'm well and truly sold on Audio Pro.

As individual bluetooth units they work and sound great. Connecting multiple units however is a HUGE time sucker. Spent countless hours with the manufacturer linking speakers. Once you get them linked they sound good and its nice to go from room to room and hear the music. Problem is they dont stay linked. If you are looking for linkable units I would NOT recommend. If you just want a single bluetooth unit they work fine.

First, the sound quality is great, lots of bass but not too much. It has better separation between instruments than my other BT speakers so you can hear each section of an orchestra for example. I listen to a wide range of music and all musical styles work with this speaker. I would characterize the sound as refined in comparison to my other BT speakers. I own a DOSS SoundBox XL 32W, a small Anker Soundcore which I use as a computer speaker and an older Soundfreaq Soundstep with a charger for my iphone in my bedroom which I use to play podcasts only as it is not good enough for music. I have this speaker in my office.It has an aux cable so it can function as a smart speaker when connected to my Echo dot.The buttons on the top of the speaker are easy to deal with in comparison with my other BT speakers. The other speakers require the user to depress the on button for a full second before coming on, this speaker you just press the on button like most appliances. The BT and Aux button are equally easy to press.

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.

The sound is amazing 'til this day (3 years since I got it). The portable design makes it easy to travel with and I totally recommend this product!

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.
