Hello,
Will this work with Orbi Pro?
When will it be available in the UK?
Thank you,
Kris
I would also like to know UK plans.
Also, is the speaker available as a stand-alone unit to add to an existing Orbi-system or is it only available as part of a kit?
If available stand-alone it would be an interesting proposition. We have a Google-Home in the kitchen which sits not too far from our Orbi-sat and we use it regularly for radio or spotify while cooking. Our main gripe is the sound quality from the GH is not great so have been considering an upgrade to something better - this might fit the bill if the price is right (& sound quality is decent)

At a price:

hmm - I suppose the price is about on-par with something like a google-home-max but a lot more than a sonos-one. However it does have the satellite built-in which is a bonus.
For me, a lot would depend on how good with sounds compared to the others.

Indeed. But that's a very subjective issue.
It sounds OK to me, but it is mono, which bothers some people. No problem with most radio, but music?
