Average Rating: 
Rating:  - 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 device needs a readable, real, manual, but instead it is just the absolute minimalistic abominations of tech writing imaginable: it explains less than nothing; the manual is like a rural cross roads with a sign that has been twisted on its pole - the manual is worse than nothing, it sends you in the wrong direction. And, please, this is NOT a radio, this is a complex network device. So unless you are conversant with the obtuse, the obsficated, and the confusing, stay clear of buying a logitech squeeze box boom.
Here are my specific issues:
1) You can not easily add internet stations until you first create a squeeze network account and figure out that you can add direct IP#s of audio streams to your favorites.
2) There are very few choices of stations without first creating online accounts (each of which is a confusing process), with various account hosts (squeeeze, pandora, etc.).
3) It does not seem to work with WPA networks even though it claims too (though I connected ... Read More
Rating:  - Lacking stereo seperation
I currently have a SB3 Classic and recently purchased the Squeezebox Boom after reading many positive reviews. Once the unit arrived, I had to upgrade to the latest Squeezecenter 7.2.1 and the unit needed a couple firmware updates. Unfortunately that process isn't as clear cut as it could be and it took me about 45 minutes to get everything updated and running.
My review is primary going to focus only on sound quality, because that is why I purchased this over another getting another SB3. There are plenty of reviews on the web that focus on the features, ease of use, software interface, etc.
I intended on using this for the Master bedroom and liked that it had built in speakers. But I was leary about purchasing this without hearing it because I'm somewhat picky about sound quality. After reading so many glowing reviews though, I took a chance. Having owned this for about a month now, I will say the the vocal clarity is quite good, as is the bass considering the Boom's small speakers and size. BUT....I'm not going to give this unit a free pass, just because it's small. The sound quality has to be as good as other options, regardless of size. Having said that, I found that the main problem with the Boom is no matter how accurate and clear the vocals are, it can't overcome the lack of stereo separation due to having attached speakers. That is the biggest limitation of this unit. You can try using the Stereo XL feature, but anything above "Low" IMO sounds too forward with ... Read More
Rating: - The Logitech Squeezebox Boom - Great Streaming Radio Addition to the Squeezebox Lineup
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 missing features keep this from being a total slam dunk. But it's still one of the better options available.
PROS:
+ Easy wireless or wired network setup, including secured wireless
+ Built-in speakers produce very good sound quality setup
+ Fairly good clock radio design with customizable 7-day alarm clock
+ Simple, easy to use controls on the front panel
+ Nice presets for your favorites
+ Compatible with most standard audio file formats
+ Option of audio streaming from either the internet or your home network
+ Easy access to internet radio stations, both paid and free
+ Very functional given the price
+ Nice build quality and an included black cloth bag for protection
+ SqueezeCenter application includes many customization and other options
+ SqueezeNetwork allows you to easily collect all your favorite internet music sources in one location
CONS:
- SqueezeCenter software requires technical know-how on complex set-ups
- Included remote is rather minimal
- An LCD color screen would have ... Read More
Rating:  - Instant gratification, surprising audio quality from a little package.
This is, essentially, a clock radio. Only the 'radio' is a powerful network device that streams from your own music sources (MP3, iTunes, etc.) and/or a number of online sources and streams. By no means do I call it a clock radio to reduce the meaning or value of the product, I just want to put the size and typical application out on the table. This could find a home on a bedside table, in your kitchen, on a desk, or in a gym -- and hold its own in terms of volume and clarity. It comes with a mini remote that sits happily in a small recess on top of the machine, meaning you may have full control from any reasonable distance, while you're cooking, running on a treadmill, whatever you like.
Setup could not possibly have been faster or easier. It's all done through the device itself the first time you turn it on. We already had the Squeezebox software installed, but even had we not, that would have only taken 2-3 minutes tops to download and install, or to have done so from disc. Despite being on a well secured non-broadcasting network, we were online and running with just a few clicks on the box, and playing music no more than 5 minutes after removing it from the box.
The browser based interface for the product is brilliant. We already had a Logitech Squeezebox Duet Network Music System, so I was a little concerned that adding a second device would confuse the software. Those fears were quickly allayed once I realized that the controls allowed us to differentiate between the two ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic product, can't live without it now!
This is one of the best things I have gotten from Amazon ever! Usually I don't listen to radio unless its from my alarm clock, opting for internet radio instead, half the time that requires me to turn on my pc, look up stuff, set it up, but this little magic box makes it all seamless and a snap.
I can listen to my favorite stations with a push of a button, you can program few so there is no searching, I mean how awesome is to walk into the room and use the cute mini remote or simply pushing the saved station button to hear glorious music that fits my moon. All internet radio stations as well as regular air wave stations are there and I can even connect to my Rhapsody account to hear millions of albums available or my favorite Shoutcast stations. This little gadget has scrolling new options, like they do on the buildings, and tons of alarm clock sounds form all types of rain, to submarines, cars, animals, hilarious bits and pieces that amazed me and some made me laugh.
I gave this to my bf and he absolutely loved it, we enjoy it together and its never been easier to fill a room with music than with this little device. This is a winner and serves as a great digital clock when not in use.
Looooove it!!!!!
