Definitive Technology - W7 4" 90W 2-Way Wireless Speaker (Each) for Streaming Music - Black

I added a W7 to my Def Tech Micro Studio sound bar in loft area of my house to complete the package. Loft is large, 18'x25' but together they fill house with rich clean sound in perfect sync. You can play one zone or the other or both together, and adjust the volumes individually from your smart phone,tablet or the units themselves. There is no remote or sound settings on the W7 like the micro system has but, it still sounds amazing for its size and I had the Bose (w/ 5 jewel speakers) which lacked the depth and richness when playing music. Pretty easy to add to your wifi and they stay connected well. Software is good and they occasionally update and add features like Amazon prime music awhile ago.

I was looking for a single speaker for a sitting room and auditioned Sonos, Bose and the Definitive Technology devices in the $300 range. And the W7 sounded so much better with a deep natural sound. After getting the single speaker, it was only a couple of weeks and I got a second one to create a stereo pair. They sound great and are very discreet sitting as they do on side tables. But, I have had a lot of problems with the speakers disappearing from the app (the app is the only way to send music to the speakers). Definitive's customer support provided some guidance to put the speakers on a 2.4GHz network AND turn off my AUTO channel feature on my router. So far these changes have made the set-up much more reliable. The iOS app only has a limited number of music services, and although the popular ones are included its not possible to route just any audio to the speakers (as you can with bluetooth or AirPlay speakers). And there is no OS X native application (just Windows) and they have no intentions to develop. With all that said, I love the speakers for their sound and how unobtrusive they are.

I had an old Denon receiver that finally lost one of its channels, so I decided to purchase a Pioneer receiver and take advantage of the wireless feature. I purchased two of the W7s. I am pleased with the sound. One has a distorted sound when its turned up and the bass is loud. The other one doesn't do that. Their sound is good especially when they are together in the same room. I am using them in different parts of the house and the sound is still good. I tried these on 5G network but since its range is limited they would cut in and out. I programed them both to operate on the 2G frequency and they work wherever I place them in the house. The app is ok, it does what it is suppose to do. Once you get use to it it is easy enough to use. I was able to get these on sale. They are nice but their quality isn't a $399 speaker. I recommended waiting for the sale price. I don't know if I will purchase anymore or wait on the wireless technology to improve. Cheers!

If you want great sound quality, definitely consider this product. You won’t regret it. Though set up at first is not quite user friendly like the rest.. but worth the patience!

Purchased two of the W7 speakers to use with my Micro sound bar. They were quite a challenge to set-up to get the entire system to work together. Had difficulty getting the Wi-Fi to connect with each speaker but after some persistence, got it done...NOT easy ! As a music system they are great, which I mainly use them for. Using them with the Micro sound bar as a surround sound system not so good. Expected more volume from them, get low back ground sound. One thing I`m puzzled with is why isn`t there a power off switch when not in use...I`m guessing it`s to keep a Wi-Fi connection always present. These are not meant to be moved around as they say you can move them room to room. No place to really pick them up, afraid I`ll put my finger through the cloth cover.

I like the W7 speaker it has nice quality sound out put. It does not have enough volume for an audio file person. I use it with a fiber optic cable to my Kitchen TV. It adds a nice sound to the room but it is not adjustable for real loud sound. it does not increase or decrease sound as you turn volume up or down by TV. Adjustable manually or by your blue tooth which I do not carry with me 24 hour. A great sound and nice looking product. I would give it 5 stars but for the volume control.

I really enjoy having sound anywhere in or outside the house. The speaker has a rich full sound. One drawback that we did encounter is some music, all of which has been paid for on iTunes/CD's will not play through the wireless speaker due to Digital Rights Management Issues. After talking to Apple and Definitive Tech reps it seems as though neither has a good explanation or plan to make it possible to play music for which I have already paid. There does not seem to be any consistency among the artists whose music I can not play. I would like to know if there is a simple solution to this problem. Best Buy and/or Definitive Technology should make the buyer aware of this issue.

Let me clear first thing that I have bought this speaker for Best Buy 1 day deal for for only $199. Now for this price, what I have paid, this is the best speaker you can get when it comes to build quality and sound quality for small rooms. I have placed on in bathroom and one in kitchen. The Play-Fi is still not fully backed product and the app is still quirky and buggy from time to time but I have TIDAL and Spotify as 2 my main source for getting all my music but I have also bought 2 Chromecast Audio and plugged in via Optical Cable and that's way I am getting all my other apps like Google Play music and pretty much everything else so with this particular setup for this price I have paid . This is much better sound in comparison to sonos. Now sonos is great too specially the ease of use and the entire ecosystem but for sound quality , I am getting much better value here.
