The Logitech Squeezebox Boom is a simple device that connects to your existing network (wired or wireless) and will stream audio files from almost any network device. It also connects to the Internet, giving users access to Internet radio, music services, and even Podcasts.

What is so great about this Squeezebox is the fact that it comes with speakers, eliminating the need for any additional hardware. All a user has to do is to plug in the Boom to the mains, connect the Ethernet (if there are no wireless networks available), adjust the settings for the first time, and you are done.
The Boom is compact and only takes up a small part of your desk. The control panel, as well as the screen, are located up front, making it easy to instantly change the unit's settings.
The control panel consists of six preset buttons (that allow quick access to favourite tracks, Internet Radio stations, playlists, or albums), a Power button, a large wheel for scrolling, a back button to revert to a previous menu, a play button, and a button that adds a track to the end of your current playlist. It also comes with a volume rocker as well as rewind, pause, and forward buttons for added music playback control.
