This speaker is very good - I can play music directly from my phone or tablet using the NFC or Bluetooth function, and can listen to all of my other music and radio plays with the handy CD slot! The sound is clear and crisp (and can go quite loud), and the design is very sleek and smart. My only query is why the remote control that comes with it is not as sleek and modern looking as the device, and you have to point it directly at the device for it to work, however I don't use the remote that much so it isn't a big problem. Overall, a nice piece of kit! looks excellent in the home, and will be purchasing another one soon! (possibly the white colour).
