Customer reviews

Logitech Squeezebox Duet by .. S. Tucker (Reston, VA, USA)
I am generally happy with the Duet when it works correctly. I have had two issues with it: 1.) It has gotten into a locked up mode where it was stuck "connecting to squeezebox"; I fixed it by unplugging / rebooting everything and 2.) the XM add-in does not work. Overall, the sound is great, especially with FLACs, and unlike some reviews I read, I have not had any trouble with delays on playback.

Music in the kitchen by .. Matthew Warren (Cleveland, Ohio)
Great product along and straightforward service. The box showed up within 5 biz days seemingly brand new yet almost $100.00 cheaper.

Wow! Just Wow! by .. J. Hunter (Canton, OH)
I was so impressed with Logitech's Squeezebox Boom that I decided to give the Duet a try. Now I'm kicking myself for not trying this brilliant peice of equipment sooner!!!!! I realized I'd probably never be able to afford the Sonos music system, but I really wanted to pipe music in just about every room of my house, and the Squeezebox Duet does it easily and affordably. The remote isn't as fancy looking as the Sonos, but it appears to be easier to operate with one hand, and the range is incredile. I haven't found a spot in my house where the remote can't get a signal to control recievers.




What impressed me the most about this system is how perfectly it puts so many music sources at your fingertips. From Rhapsody to Last FM to Shoutcast to Sirius it's all right there in the palm of your hand!!!! Simply amazing. If you have any doubt that this product is worth the money just read the other reviews. I love mine so much that I picked up another one! Logitech does it again!

Logitech Squeezebox Duet by .. PAL ()
It sounds nice, command tree understandable, and looks great. Great support.



But: it would be better if installation simplier and support was not needed, it hangs too often (the software updates seemed to have helped), no easy way of entering a long key, and finially it would be much more useful if it worked with network disks without the need for having a computer on also.

Finally, control of ALL of my digital music!! by .. C. Lycke (Virginia)
The short: Great product for those looking to consolidate all of their digital music and have control of it to a selected output!




The long: I have a whole house audio system and over 60GBs of music stored on my Macbook as well as a Rhapsody account that I used on it as well. I have my laptop connected to the system and never have to bother with commercial radio or a CD and life was good. The problem I was trying to resolve was that I could only control the music from my laptop if someone decided to play Michael Bolton and I had to get it off. Enter Squeezebox and now life is great! The set up was super easy, took maybe 1/2 an hour. The remote is super responsive and my I can even control my Rhapsody account from it. It synced with my iTunes account no problem and even found the playlists I had created on it. As a test I made a new playlist and ten minutes later it listed it.

I got mine for less than $300, which is still pretty expensive. However, for a true audiophile it is worth it to have this level of control. Goodbye commercial radio and CDs, hello Squeezebox!
