IRL: The M20 speaker isn't enough to make you choose Korus over Sonos
Back in 2013, I got to try out the Korus system of speakers, the V600 and the V400, and was impressed by their ease of use and audio quality. The one thing that was lacking was portability; even though the V600 can use six D-cell batteries and comes with a handle, I'm not exactly going to stroll around town with it on my shoulder. Enter the M20, a small speaker that not only hooks into the Korus system via SKAA, but can also connect to other devices via Bluetooth, squaring it against the glut of portable Bluetooth speakers already on the market.
IRL: Trading in the Sonos Play:3 for Korus' V600 and V400 wireless speakers
Welcome to IRL, an ongoing feature where we talk about the gadgets, apps and toys we're using in real life and take a second look at products that already got the formal review treatment. Sonos might be the biggest name in wireless speaker systems, but that doesn't mean it's always the best, as our own Kris Naudus has learned the hard way. With that in mind, she's been using the Korus V600 and V400, two quasi-portable (read: 11-pound) speakers that use dongles to stream from computers and iOS devices. A bit of a clunky setup, sure, but could it still be easier to use?
