The Squeezebox Duet Network Music System was missing speakers, and the Logitech Squeezebox Boom stepped in to fill the gap. It measures 5 by 13 by 4 inches and the front is dominated by a 2.8-by-0.6-inch vacuum fluorescent display. It scrolls station info and song titles at a size that’s easy to read. Six backlit buttons beneath the display can store your top Internet radio stations or even your favorite individual songs. Behind the unit are the connections for power Ethernet, a subwoofer output, and an aux input for iPods or other sound sources. The included remote measures 3.4 by 1.5 by 0.4 inches and is conveniently stored in a recessed area on the rubberized top panel of the Boom via magnet. The Boom has a wide range of audio codec support, including OGG Vorbis, MP2, MusePack files, and most lossless files. The reviewer noted that streaming audio sounds excellent. There were no distortions even at high volumes. Extremely bass-heavy songs sound amazing. On the other hand, the reviewer stated that navigation can be very much improved. The Logitech Squeezebox Boom also suffers from a confusing name system, such as the SqueezeNetwork and SqueezeCenter - two very different things. Despite the sluggish reaction time and the annoying interface, the Logitech Squeezebox Boom is still a solid option when it comes to streaming your tunes.

With speakers covered in black metal grilles, and a control panel that dominates the center, it’s no wonder it's called the Squeezebox Boom. The display scrolls the song, artist, and album in a large font, making it easy to read what’s currently displayed. Users can choose from four modes when selecting a music source: Music Services, Internet Radio, SqueezeNetwork, and Music Library. A small remote control is included that has the same functions found on the main unit with the addition of a sleep timer button and a Home button. Setting up is as simple as turning the unit on. It will automatically search for Wi-Fi networks and will prompt the user for the network password. Once connected, users can use the SqueezeNetwork Web site to set up new accounts with both free and subscription-based services. In order to stream content stored on your computer to the Boom, users install the SqueezeCenter software. The overall sound quality of the Boom is excellent. It has enough power to fill a midsize living room. The high, mid-, and low ranges were all present and well balanced. It has several extras such as an RSS reader, access to podcasts, and an alarm clock. The ease of setup and portability of the Logitech Squeezebox Boom make it an attractive choice for an all-in-one streaming music player.
