A simple yet powerful speaker. Great for casual listening.

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023

Pros 👍🏻
- Excellent sound quality. Clearly separate different instruments & vocal. Although the built-in equalizer (control thru app) is very simple one (bass & treble only), you can easily get crispy vocal & powerful bass to suit your need.
- WiFi connection (That's one of the essential features I need)
- Easy setup (Both single use & multi-room system)
- Can name the speaker for easy identification
- Speaker presets for saving playlists/radio stations
- Minimal outlook

Cons 👎🏻
- Without Wired LAN
- Either power-on or standby mode only, without real power-off switch.
- Sound distortion if volume tuned over 70%-75% (I usually go below 50% so not a problem for me)
- App design (can be more intuitive & user-friendly)
- The regular price is expensive imo (but I got it with very reasonable discount on last Black Friday Sales🤭)

Looking for improvement 🔧
- A more detailed equalizer for fine tuning
- Ability to preset several equalizer settings for different use

This is one great sounding speaker

I'm a bit of an audio nut - not too extreme, but I like/have good gear and can appreciate high quality, accurate sound (many years ago as a teenager I worked in a high end hi-fi store). I read countless reviews prior to purchasing this speaker - I wanted something that was high quality - not overly bassy, nor something I needed to blast at a party. I've only used this for a few days but am already very impressed - well balanced, good amount of depth, definition/clarity without being harsh. I mostly stream using Airplay2 from my Ipad/SiriusXM/Spotify and the sound is great. The setup was a bit funky - it took a few tries for things to connect and the app would say it wasn't connected yet it was - needs a bit of work but was able to get things running smoothly - but the sound is well worth it! Oh, and the MKII is definitely an improvement over the earlier version - broader soundstage, cleaner bass and overall sound. Definitely kicked it up a notch!

near-field speaker

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020

I have auditioned DOZENS of speakers in all price ranges. (thanks to Amazon's liberal return policy) The C5 and C10 along with the Audioengine B2 are my choice for near-field listening. But, no one speaker is best for all situations so let me explain.
I have the speaker sitting 2 ft away from my ears on a side table.
The detail and clarity of the Addon C5 is superb - the best of any speaker I've auditioned including some really good names like Vanatoo, Kanto, KEF Q150, Infinity, Sony, Sonos, Denon 350, Beolit17 and more. The mid range and high range detail is just more accurate - again at the close range I'm evaluating it at. I can't speak about room-filling sound. To compare apples-to-apples I removed the grills on all that I could except the Sonos5 and Beolit7 because they were not removable.
Being a single block, this speaker can't achieve the separation that a pair of bookshelfs can achieve due to physics, so I didn't consider this attribute because I'm evaluating this for near-field listening.
The C5 doesn't have the bass heft of a pair of bookshelfs that have larger woofers, but this is where it gets interesting: the Addon has a subwoofer output! Using this is cheating I guess, but if it allows easy connection to a sub that I happened to have lying around. With sub connected the combo beats any of the speakers I tried, hands down. (Keeping in mind that it is the sub that is providing the bass below 50Hz) My listening diet is heavy on electronica and instrumetnals so bass is important. If you are only listening to poorly-recorded oldies and radio-friendly pop, then you're not hearing the musical detail anyway - save your money and buy a $50 radio.
The WiFi connection does offer perceptibly better sound quality than Bluetooth. The bluetooth connection is great - the speaker is always standing by at the ready and once I start Spotify my phone finds the Addon automatically every time.
Finally, when connected to a TV output jack, there is a delay of about 2 seconds so the sound doesn't snyc with the TV picture. Its a shame but this delay makes it un-suable use as an output for a TV.
Finally, there is a very annoying delay of about 10 seconds (at least in Wifi mode) Any time you change a song, you wait 10 seconds for it to take effect. This makes it unlistenable for podcasts if you are skipping around. So I just reverted to using my phone speakers. I deducted one star for this problem.

Great sound, straight forward setup.

I was hesitant to try the Audio Pro multiroom system because of the complaints about the app, but I’m glad I went ahead and gave them a shot. The C10 sounds awesome for it’s size and setting it up was incredibly easy. I was able to have it linked with the C5, link 1, and A10 in a few minutes with music through the whole house. The app is nothing flashy, but I haven’t had any issues with it at all. I do wish there were more advanced EQ settings but that’s not a huge deal. Overall a great system and an excellent speaker.

Couldn’t Connect

I sequentially bought two of these to try and get them all on my network with several C5As. Those hooked up to my network immediately. Excellent.

Despite that, and the app immediately seeing the speaker and wanting to connect to it, following the same steps, I could never get the speaker to connect to my network, or even see it. It’s a typical ORBI dual band network. Should have been easy. Tried the other more manual way to connect. Nope.

I really want it to work with the others. I wanted to keep buying diverse products from Audio Pro. But their support was also pretty hard to contact, email during their business hours only and everyone was out of office for some holiday for the week.

Ture High Fidelity Sound

Awesome speaker for the price point (Paid 2 bills). The speaker produces true high Hi Fi sound when used via Airplay with Hi Res files/streaming e.g. Amazon HD, Tidal. The volume, however, is not linear and needs to be turned up high to get to normal listening volumes. Overall volume is not super loud, but the quality of the sound is second to none. Also, speaker looks great!

Good as a single speaker; don't try to use as a stereo pair

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2018

Color: C10 GreyVerified Purchase

I bought two of these speakers hoping to use them as a stereo pair, in our living room, to play various sources from our household Macs and iDevices via AirPlay. Based on the user manual's description of the multi-room feature, this would appear to be possible. No luck.

I got one speaker one day before the other, and with a single speaker the experience was great. The setup process was exactly as advertised, and the speaker showed up as an AirPlay destination on all our devices. Sound won't blow your socks off if you are accustomed to hi-fi equipment, but it is surprisingly good for a speaker of this size. Bass has little low extension (unsurprisingly given the 5" driver) but is quite tight and punchy in the midbass range. Highs are a bit muted, but much less fatiguing than many lower-end speakers. Until the second speaker arrived, I was quite satisfied.

When the second speaker arrived, it joined the network with the same ease, and the app's simple "drag to pair" action worked fine. But whichever speaker was listed in the app as subordinate stubbornly refused to play any sound. There is nothing in the documentation or on Audio Pro's website indicating that this configuration shouldn't work. Finally, after two hours of messing around, resetting equipment, trying new configurations, and such, I submitted a support ticket on Audio Pro's website. The response came within a few hours and said that I had run into a limitation of AirPlay. (Modern Sonos speakers use AirPlay 2 and do not have this limitation.)

Fine, I thought, I'll use the speakers' line input. I connected an old AirPort Express, serving as the AirPlay destination, to one speaker's line in. Then both speakers played... but not in sync. The speaker with the AirPort Express connected played in real time, and the other speaker had a roughly 2-second delay. At that point, I gave up and started the process of returning the speakers to Amazon.

I would not have purchased the product to begin with if the documentation had suggested, anywhere, that either of these configurations would not work.

Looks great. Sounds better. I've used this daily and still smile every time I hear my music start. Great sound quality at low levels when guests are over. Sounds great loud too. Though I never really go beyond 60-70%.

Still looking for more. . .

Color: C10 Mkll GreyVerified Purchase

This is a really beautiful plugin bluetooth speaker. I recently sold my stereo system and audio collection, accepting that simple and streaming services are the life for me right now. I would like to splurge on a some really great sounding, good looking, and super easy to use speakers though. I have an existing Bose Soundlink that I use around the house and yard. I could hear a small improvement in the C10 MKII versus the Soundlink, but it was less of an improvement than I expected. I decided to stay with my old Soundlink for now until I come across something that really wows me.

Logistically, I had no problems with install or connecting to bluetooth or wifi. I really like that you can save playlists to memory. It would be a great added feature if Audio Pro could integrate a small display to show what song is playing as well.

Get this speaker if you are looking for style (it is worth it!), but look for something else if you want really great sound or perhaps consider getting two of these and trying them in stereo. I'm done with looking for now and will wait to see what technology does in another year. I will definitely look to Audio Pro again. The design is great, and I like the ability to connect to multiple Audio Pro speakers in the house. We'll see where the technology goes.

Great wifi speaker

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2022

It works as expected for the most part, and I'm happy I bought it to use for casual listening in the kitchen or whatever. The sound blows away absolutely every other bluetooth/wifi speaker I've used/tested -- like, easily blows them away. But, you know, it's not like it has super high-end sound stage, either. Most of my cons are nitpicky "wish" features; it's not at all lacking any essential features. Day to day, none of the cons bother me at all. So let's call it a 9/10.

Pros:
-Great build
-Good sound, can get loud without distortion
-Size fits perfectly in my Kalax shelf
-Preset channels, so you can play an internet radio station or streaming playlist with the touch of one button
-Works with most file types (mp3, FLAC, AAC and others)
-Easily connects to Roon in various ways (AirPlay, Chromecast, hardwired to a Roon endpoint)
-Can control via phone/ap

Cons:
-App (which you don't really need to use) is basically terrible
-Presets need to be re-saved sometimes -- not sure if that's an app issue or not
-Only bluetooth 4
-Only up to 16bit/44.1kbps CD quality/lossless file size (no "high res" audio)
-No MQA support
-Has to be plugged in; no battery so you can't move it outside or something cordless if you wanted to
-No separate remote
