Low points
Though the high points outweigh the low pints very easily but everything comes at a price. There are some drawbacks about this product such as the interruption while streaming music from HD sources causes irritation among users. The occasional interruptions hamper the listener from enjoying music and one starts to dislike the device although it has so many great features. Another flaw is its smaller screen, which is smaller than the iPeng. iPeng has a 9.7â touchscreen while as the Logitech’s is only 4.3â which gives a better experience of graphics. The difference in the size of the displays means graphics in a bigger size. The larger graphics show more information. The touchscreen of this device also is not very impressive.
Price
The price of the Logitech squeezebox is $299.99 which is a bit costlier amount for such a product but the great quality music and all other features justify its price tag to some level.
