Low and lag very disappointing

  • Airplay 2
  • two speakers give true stereo
  • annoying lag sound with picture

The clear advantages, Airplay2 and the easy connection of two speakers to a stereo pair, are undermined by the delay of sound via Bluetooth and the almost complete lack of bass.
Only recommended if you use them purely for the sound (ie without screen/video) and are willing to spend well over €1000 on a formation bass subwoofer to also hear low tones.
