As a guitarist these fit in my home pretty well. I was very happy with the first speaker I purchased a long time ago. Setup was cake with google home, bluetooth, airplay, chromecast, the built in radio all worked with no interruptions or glitches.
When I purchased my second unit it took some work to get the device set up. I believe an update in google homes app is the culprit. Had to connect through a laptop, both mac and pc worked for me. Still I can imagine new customers getting frustrated the proper google home setup is not working. This took me a while to figure out, gotta admit. Once you connect you computer to it, it begins updates through your wifi, and works as intended afterwards discoverable by google home. My 3rd speaker I connected in a moment.
The multiroom can use some good wifi range to reduce the chance of interruptions or endless loops, but when i bluetooth and stream very high quality music there's a big chance one of the outer speakers can interrupt or loop. A quick stop and play fixes the situation, just sucks it can happen. But that's just bluetooth. It messes up in my car and my wireless products all the time. The speakers handle the situation pretty well.
When I multiroom the built in radio or airplay my apple music playlists theres never any problems. All 3 of my speakers are perfectly synchronized.
But sometimes I'll stream music which takes a lot of bandwidth that may cause problems on the non-main speaker. As I mentioned, click stop and play and its back to regular. I've gone hours and days without any problems, just saying they're possible even with amazing wifi signal.
Lastly, I thought about using the speakers as external computer speakers but there is a slight delay even after a tuning. But it's alright, they were intended for music play anyway.
I've been able to synchronize these with my sonos by the way through the google hdmi chromecast thing and the sonos bar being connected to my TV. The sonos plays whatever my tv plays and my tv is pairable with the speakers and I can cast to them. It's pretty fun once you get the hang of it.
Would love to get 1 more for my collection, maybe one day when the sale is nice!
