Naim Mu-so Qb

A wireless speaker that looks the part and has plenty of power for a rowdy house party.

Stylish looks ; Small form factor ; Full and vibrant sound

Expensive ; Setup can be painful

There's no denying that Naim's Mu-So Qb makes a big impact, but its controls and setup can be frustrating, especially at this price.

Outstanding build ; Feature-packed ; Big, bold sound ; Decent detail ; Strong rhythmic know-how

Bass a little rich at high volume ; Could have a touch more insight through the midrange

A small speaker with big personality, the Qb combines style, substance and a whole lot of features at a more affordable price

Undeniably 'premium' pricing ; The big Mu-so's even better

Thrilling, room-filling sound ; Superb design ; Versatility

When it comes to priorities, the intersection between audiophiles and the average person buying a wireless speaker isn’t very big. Naim’s real success here, however, is that the Mu-So Qb is likely to appeal to either camp.

Beautifully musical performance ; Supports high-resolution audio streaming in multiple rooms ; Exquisite industrial design and build quality

Can’t fill larger rooms with sound ; Can’t sync multiple high-resolution audio streams ; A little expensive

If you own other Naim components and are looking to step up to a multi-room system, The Mu-so Qb is a no-brainer for the smaller rooms in your home (bedroom, dining room, and so on). It’s every bit as accurate as the larger Mu-so, but it’s much more...
