The Danish company offers two different models that are both designed to provide high-quality full-room sound and be featured as a stylish design element as well. Both the Lounge and the Live feature clean Scandinavian-influenced design and are artfully wrapped in fine Italian cashmere in a handful of modern colors.

The Lounge is designed to create full 360-degree sound for a home environment like a living room or below a TV set. The Live is smaller and offers in-home portability thanks to its lighter weight and functional carry handle. Both models use Apple’s Airplay technology and the company now offers a Libratone app that makes set up and customization a breeze. We got a demo of both systems as well as the handy app that makes it all just a little bit easier.

The Libratone Live is the perfect size for display on and end table or countertop, but packs a surprising punch of sound thanks to 150W of total power and one 5″ bass, two 3″ midrange and two 1″ ribbon based tweeters. Based on its size, we were pleasantly surprised that the unit offered such powerful full-room sound.

The Libratone Lounge is a much larger unit, designed for placement under a beautiful wall-mounted TV or in another spacious area. Not surprisingly, with 150W total power, one 8″ inverted woofer, two 4″ ceramic midrange and two 1″ ribbon based tweeters, this unit delivers on the surround-sound promise in one sleek package.

Flexible, simple, stylish. Libratone Live and Libratone Lounge are a wireless sound system designed to soundtrack your life. With its minimalistic Scandinavian design it adapts to any setting, while the wireless technology lets you stream your favourite tunes from anywhere in your home. And with its innovative and patented FullRoom™technology you get 360° stereo sound from just one speaker unit. No hassles, just quality sound when and where you need it. We call it freedom in a box. Stream your favourite tunes with AirPlay, PlayDirect™or DLNA technology directly from iPads, iPhones, iPod touch, Mac, Windows and Android devices.
