The Libratone Zipp AirPlay Speaker Plays Wireless Music Without Wi-Fi

— September 28, 2012 — Art & Design
Battery-driven, compact and concealed, the Zipp AirPlay speaker lets you play music wirelessly from anywhere in your house - even in the absence of a Wi-Fi network!

Wrapped in a colorfully cozy wool jacket and measuring slightly over a foot tall, the Libratone Zipp AirPlay speaker lets you wirelessly beam music directly from your phone or MP3 player directly to it. Since the data doesn't have to pass through a Wi-Fi network, it's perfect for travelling with. Whether you take it out to the beach or on camping trips, or want to use if for an outdoor party, the 60W speaker will always work with you music playing devices. However, if you choose to keep it near home, you always have the option of connecting it to your wireless network and using it like any other AirPlay speaker.

The Libratone Zipp AirPlay speaker also incorporates an internal reflection system that bounces sound from the Zipp's drivers in an approximate 360-degree radial direction so the audio quality sounds excellent even when you're not close to it. Best of all, the wool jacket that wraps the speaker comes in a wide variety of colors so you can always find a tone that fits harmoniously with your home decor.
