Amazing sound from such a small box
I was intrigued by the idea of a network media player that had built in speakers etc, but I was completely put off by the size of the player. For those of you that don't know, the Boom is heavily marketed to be a bedside type unit (also kitchen wall/cabinet mounted). While shopping I thought I would prefer something with a little more heft at the cost of better sound, so I pretty well discounted the Boom and was looking at Audioengine and other options for powered speakers.

Set Your Digital Music Library Free!
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) The Good: The Logitech Squeezebox Boom gives you a portable unit for accessing your digital music library from any room in the house using your wireless network. It has above average sound quality and some nice extras such as a highly configurable alarm clock.
The Bad: Nothing worthy of mention.
Overall: Logitech hit this one out of the park. My detailed usage based review follows.

Amazing Network Music Player With Real Potential
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) In today's digital music age, many people are storing massive collections of songs and albums on their computers or network share drives. The portable MP3 players we all know and love give you the ability to take your music with you, but with certain limitations. Using a portable MP3 player to play music through speakers requires connecting it to a stereo system or at least to a portable amplified speaker sy...

Slick is far too mild a term for this very innovative device
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) The Squeezebox Boom is just plain cool.
It is a stylish box bout 14" wide x 3" thick x 5" high. It fits nicely almost anywhere.
Technically - much more technically then is appropriate or necessary - the Squeezebox is a dedicated computer designed specifically as a network media device.
In reality, the Squeezebox Boom is a self-contained audio streaming device. It can a...

The Best Streaming/Internet Radio
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I am a radio nut (going back to the tube days)and the Squeezebox Boom is my third internet radio. I have a Roku Soundbridge R1000 and Sangean WFR-20 as well. All have their strengths, but the Squeezebox Boom is without a doubt a significant step up; it sets a new high standard in performance, capabilities, and ease of operation.
For wireless streaming of your music collection...

Pros and Cons are many
Was looking for a device that I could stream music to my back yard for parties and what not. I found the Boom shortly after it came out and figured it might be what I was looking for. I admit I was waiting for a bit of a price drop however. I managed to get one from AmEx Wishlist at a huge discount (about 50% off internet price) so I bit.
After playing with it a bit I have some pros and cons to share:
Pros:
1) It plays just about anything you can throw at it including...

The Squeezebox I've been waiting for
I've owned the older Squeezebox 2 for several years and it has really enhanced the way I listen to music, but I have always wanted an all-in-one unit that could be moved around the house or used outside in the yard and when I am out at the pool. The Squeezebox Boom is just the product I have been waiting for, and it sounds awesome! I use it in the bedroom, outside, and in the kitchen. It is so nice to have easy access to all my tunes no matter where I am around the house.

The Logitech Squeezebox Boom - Great Streaming Radio Addition to the Squeezebox Lineup
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) Logitech's Squeezebox Boom adds a quality all-in-one streaming radio to build on the positives of the Sqeezebox product family. This radio includes a simple monochrome screen, simple controls, a basic remote and nice quality integrated speakers. The integrated amplifier and improved Logitech sound delivery technology produce better sound than expected. Limited interfaces, software complexity and some missin...

Mac users have caution!
As it turned out, I received a unit that was far outdated with regard to its firmware version. Not knowing this at first, I went through a great deal of frustration before calling SlimDevices customer service. It took some time before they proposed this as the problem. However, I have a Mac computer and wireless system. I tried updating and repeatedly failed. The SlimDevices agent very coarsely and bluntly told me that he was not going to help me update because he did not know how to update the...

wonderful device, HORRID UI
I like gadgets, especially network ones, and I love radio. You would think I would give this device a five star rating, but I wont. It is a one star product because ultimately its intended consumer base can simply not use this thing. The UI (User Interface) is horribly flawed.
This would be a wonderful device because it does sound great, and it does give you access to the world of Internet radio, but all but the most adventurous gadget heads will never be able to get there. This devi...
