Stream songs anywhere around your home via a home Wi-Fi network
In October last year in an exclusive preview, I got to see the latest systems from Bose, called the SoundTouch, and they are finally here in India. Released in three models, Sound Touch 10, 20 and 30, they offer music lovers great sound with the latest in technology.
The Sound Touch systems connect to your home Wi-Fi or wired network, and play songs from an iTunes library in your Mac or Windows PC. The speakers are designed for effortless operation with six control buttons on top of the speaker. The free Bose SoundTouch App can be used with your computer, smartphone or tablet to explore internet radio or any other music service.
If you have more than one speaker system, you can choose which speaker in the house plays which music; you can choose to stream the same song in all units or have each unit play a different song in each room.
The SoundTouch 10 is more portable and thus handy, and the SoundTouch 30 features the Bose proprietary Waveguide that gives you a richer bass and cleaner sound. The SoundTouch 20 offers room filling sound, whether in the bedroom or kitchen; its intuitive 6 buttons that are akin to a car radio’s make choosing music simpler; and the speaker is also AirPlay compliant, so if you have an iPhone or iPad, streaming from this device even without the app becomes easier.
To connect the SoundTouch to your home Wi-Fi, you need to access a PC, which I did not like since more homes now have tablets. But once the setting up is done, you don’t really need the computer except for your iTunes library. What I appreciate is that you can start with one and add more speakers as and when you feel the need—and have the money.
