I am a fan of the Qualcomm AllPlay wifi streaming system, and I have speakers / streamers made by Panasonic, Kitsound and Lenco – which all work seamlessly together using the Allplay set up. I prefer the sound of the
Panasonic
– they are slightly richer and fuller sounding, but these Lenco playlink 4 have the advantage of being smaller and have a battery option – so you don’t have to have them plugged in. I got two Lenco speakers and run them as a stereo pair (there is a switch on the back that sets this up very easily).
The set up is very easy if you have a WPS button on your router – takes a couple of minutes. Once on the wifi I have found them to be very stable. I mostly stream Spotify – but you do need a premium account. I tend to use the Panasonic app, but Lenco do their own which is simple to use. You need to use an app to group the speakers into a pair or larger groups. I have a large open plan space and have had seven Allplay devices playing at the same time and in sync. The maximum is 10 – but you would need plenty of bandwidth and would probably struggle with flac files. I have had high definition 24 bit files playing over 5 devices at the same time.
This speaker copes well with Bluetooth, but unlike Panasonic it does not re-stream Bluetooth – so you can only play to one speaker at a time. The aux in is also fine if you are going old skool (I use for an old mp3 player that doesn’t have BT) – but again it doesn’t re-stream the signal so you are restricted to the single speaker. The mode button to switch between wifi, BT and aux is at the back of the speaker and not easy to get at whereas Panasonic have them on the top which is better.
Overall, I like these Lenco playlink 4. As a stereo pair they have enough volume to fill a medium sized room, and actually create a decent sound stage for what is a very compact speaker. They are easy to use and will meet most people’s needs – whether for wifi or Bluetooth. You can pick these up for reasonable costs (my two with batteries cost less than 125 pounds total) if you keep your eyes open.
