Hi!
Was wondering if anyone had seen this speaker system at all?
I've been looking for reviews and thus haven't found all that much to
recommend this portable speaker system.
I've given a link to it on Sony's web site so people may have a look.
Up until now I only knew of one portable speaker system which was worth
getting that had DLNA and a whole host of options.
Sure, the Denon Cocoon portable isn't a brilliant sounding portable
speaker system but it does boast a whole heap of connectivity options
including DLNA, AirPlay, LAN port, playback of multiple formats
including HD audio formats, 6 hours of battery life from a built-in
rechargeable battery, a remote control as well as total control from an
IOS/Android App and even built-in Internet radio through vTuner.
The sony mentioned here is the closest I've found to the Denon, the Sony
doesn't have the Internet radio but it does have Bluetooth, an option
that the Denon model regretfully omits.
The Denon Cocoon will also handle an IOS device docked to it directly,
yes something so rare these days and still the demand is high for such a
beast with a Docking facility.
Anyway judge for yourself, the Sony is cheap enough in Australia so I
might see about buying one as the Denon is getting a little old, I've
had it for well over a year now and its proved its weight in gold when
its come to streaming music literally anywhere in the area of hosue and
yard.
The Denon Cocoon Portable is a tough AVS plastic designed for both
indoor and outdoor use.
The Cocoon Portalbe has a bigger brother, the Denon Cocoon Home which is
a very formidible speaker system if you're looking for something to sit
on the shelf, the Cocoon Home is mains powered and packs in more punch
than the Portable obviously.
