Addon C5

Great product, but software (iOS) needs better user interface. OpenHome compatipility would ease my problems.

I was very surprised about the quality of the sound. Set-up is reasonably quick and easy. Lots of great sound from a single and rather compact box. I can only recommend this product.

Sound is great, but I bought 2x C5’s so i could join them together over wifi, your app is rather painful to use – when connecting to wifi, the device says ‘connected’ but the app rarely sees the device and i have to go through the process again and again – please don’t say be nearer to the router as I had both machines close by. Anyway, joining the two together has worked once, took over 30ins to get both devices showing in your app at the same time and i can’t be bothered to do all that any more. Let down by your app basically. Both machines connect to the wifi perfectly now, I can use each one perfectly, but they just don’t appear in the app and therefore cannot join them together. (Can do that on a Mac with apple play as you can select more than one device but not in Spotify). As I bought two specifically to play the same music on both, it’s bascially a let down only made up by the fact it sounds really good.

I have had my Monitor Audio S1500 for almost three years. I like its “open” sound”, reasonable depth of field, “true human voice” and well controlled top and low end. Having enjoyed listening to the Audio Pro C5 for over two weeks, my pleasure has been taken to a new level. (Giving allowance for a box) The C5 provides a much more open sound with a sound stage giving “width and depth”; very dynamic and detailed sound; cannot fault the human voice and transparent mid-range; very tight and well control bass. All these elements have been integrated together into a very well balanced presentation for a range of genre. It is not forward (i.e. hit you in the face and tiring after a while); very subtly recessed but provide more than enough “attack” when called upon. To be honest, I cannot expect much better – unless I return to my conventional hi-fi – Meridian Pre & Power amp; Rega Planar 3 Mark I turntable; Mission 770 floor standing monitor speakers. That is the accolade the C5 deserves. (NOTE: I am using C5 using Bluetooth as I do not want to overload my existing weak wi-fi set up using the App.)

Very good – solid sound
