When the Boom came out, I wanted to purchase it right away, but the $300
price tag and the inability to truely make it wireless detered me. Now
that the Radio is out with a lower price tag, battery capability and a
color LCD, I was totally sold. I've had the Radio for about a week now,
and I simply love it. Even the wife was jamming to it when I got home
from work the day after I bought it.
So far I have only had one issue with it...I can not find a setting to set the Album Art size to full screen on the Now Playing screen. It says in the manual that it is under the Screensaver settings, but when I go there it doesn't exist. I sent an email to Logitech support, but have not heard back from them yet. [Updated] Logitech just released a new software version that will correct this issue.
Another cool feature that I didn't realize existed, was the ability to control the Radio from the web.
As far as sound quality goes, it is far better than expected. There is virtually no distortion even at maximum volume. I even plugged a set of Computer Speakers into the Headphone Jack and it didn't make that much of a difference. The Base levels aren't that deep, but they are there. I can put it in my livingroom and pump it up near max volume and hear it clearly throughout the house.
I haven't tested the Wireless strength extensively yet, but I was able to hook it up in the garage (1 Floor below and 50 feet from the router) and the signal strength was near full.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and can't wait to get the battery pack so I can just carry this thing around anywhere.
