Ikea Symfonisk Bookshelf vs Neumi BS5P

The $179 Symfonisk Table Lamp doubles as a lamp, while the $99 Symfonisk WiFi Bookshelf Speaker, reviewed here, can be used as a wall shelf. Sonically, the speaker delivers a powerful punch for the price, including some impressive bass depth. It can also be incorporated into exisiting Sonos systems, making it the least expensive Sonos-compatible speaker available and earning our Editors' Choice.

So I had got the presonus eris 3.5 which wasn't bad but as a beat maker I needed a bit more umph on the bass and it did jus that! I never had any high end pair of monitors like the Yamaha to compare but it doesn't matter, as long as you know how it's suppose to sound it's a win=win situation for me as far far as price and quality(flat response) Pros: Price, flat response for accurate mix (after updating it and stuffing ports), well built, because it has face front ports you can put them close to a wall. Cons: because of face front ports it can over power the mids a little bit but if you plug them up you should be fine, no TRS or XLR output, comes with a small but bulky AC adapter, has a little hissing noise if it's quite.

Those looking for really pounding low notes might be a bit disappointed but the frame sounds great with most music genres. The Sonos One still sounds a little better all-round but it is very close.

Without the update the sound is not very good. If youre updating the EQ and you have trouble you might need to try different microUSB cords. Note: an analog to aux cord is not included, but do not use one. Youll get an audible hiss over analog that isnt present with bluetooth
