LAB REVIEW
The V2 Model improves upon the NS2 Air by adding Bluetooth and Spotify Connect connectivity making the speakers more compatible with a wider range of devices. In addition, the NS2 Air V2 App (for iOS and Android) walks you through the simple process of connecting to your Wi-Fi network and streaming your music wirelessly quickly. Our original NS2 review:
Nocs sent me a review pair of the NS2 Air Monitors and I have been using them ever since. Here are my impressions:
- Setup: the NS2 creates a temporary network for setup. You'll have to enter the username and password to your wireless network to complete setup. The cord connecting the two speakers comes in (2) different lengths to fit your setup.
- Sound: the sound was refreshingly loud and robust. These trump all wireless speakers I've heard. Great bass without being overpowering.
- Perfect Size: these speakers are a great size for the modern living space. They're substantial without being too bulky. In addition, the rubberized finish and rounded corners make you want to move them around depending on the situation.
- These will literally change the way you listen to music in your home or office. NS2 Air Monitors eliminate the reliance on crappy "multimedia" speakers or docks that have become the norm. Imagine yourself coming home listening to your iPhone via headphones. Enter your home, take off the headphones and switch to AirPlay via a couple clicks and continue your musical experience. Or wake up in your bed, grab your phone and play your favorite wake-up song wirelessly.
