Which is good – because I’ve used it a lot. It works almost instantly in transferring the music across, and I’ve had no problems with connection over my time with the device. It’s a solid, attractive, and easy-to-use piece of software that lets you log in to all your favorite streaming services and search their libraries together to find something to listen to. The app is the best way to interact with the speaker, I’ve found. That’s a pretty good selection, and all work a charm. There’s AirPlay to transfer music from an Apple device, Bluetooth for those devices that don’t support the latter, Chromecast for Android users, and then a couple of physical ports on the bottom for those that like to hook things up via headphone jack line-ins. Bear in mind that there’s no way to hook up a sub, so you won’t get that earth-shattering boom in action movies as you might with a separate subwoofer, but for everything else, it's a great bonus feature.Ĭonnectivity is pretty good all around. There’s an HDMI port on the bottom of the speaker that supports eARC, so you can hook it up to a TV and get all the sound pumped through. You can play/pause, skip backward and forwards with the main controls, and then there are controls underneath that let you select the sound input – including the HDMI mode.īecause of course, you can use this thing as a soundbar. The central control section features touch-sensitive buttons that light up when your finger gets close (which will always remain magic, no matter how many other devices do it), and they’re all clear and easy to use. It looks incredible, for lack of a better word, stunning in its simplicity. The front of the device, where the drivers, tweeters, and subs live, is covered with this wave pattern cloth cover that shimmers in the correct light with a kind of glitter interwoven into its fabric. The main body of the unit is a wooden (like most speakers) construction that's then been smothered with stainless steel, giving it a super classy vibe. It’s a box, yes, but Naim has made sure that it’s almost like a sculptural centerpiece to a room. When you think about the Mu-So in this way, it makes more sense – and my god is that price easily justified when you look at and touch the thing. Or even other similar specced and priced smart speakers for that matter – this is an all-in-one hi-fi separates replacement, for those that want incredible sound and would usually spend more on having dedicated items for each specific part of a dedicated music listening system and, perhaps more importantly for them, one that will match up with the home decoration. This can be part of a multiroom setup, but it’s not supposed to go up against the HomePod 2. To make the high, $1600 price make sense, you have to reconsider what the device is for.
