I mean, as an airplay speaker it sounds really cool. I don't really give a shit about voice assistants and if I wanted to set a timer I'd use something else lol

Apparently it's really good at converting speech to text, they'll probably patch in two timers at some point for the people who use that.

it just works

Does it sound better than a $350 stereo system?

according to weird audiophiles it sounds better than a $1k speaker. I kinda doubt that but when compared to a sonos it's good.

but does it sound better than me when I yodel late into the night?

nothing sounds better than your yodel

and that's why you always use a coaster
