“The P100X takes its design inspiration from traditional wireless FM radios and is certainly a ‘chonky’ unit”
WE’RE USED TO SEEING HIGH-END BOOKSHELF speakers from AirPulse, so the P100X desktop speaker is an altogether different proposition. But it still kicks the living crap out of ass!
Everything about the P100X is fantastic, apart from a lack of AirPlay – we’ll get that out of the way early. Taking its design inspiration from traditional wireless FM radios, the P100X is a ‘chonky’ unit (measuring 300x180x200mm) comprising of an MDF/cherry wood-veneered case fronted by a retro mesh adorned with the ‘AirPulse’ logo. Also on the front of the speaker is the on/off knob, plus dials for bass, treble and volume. On the rear is the power input and Line IN ports which, along with Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD, is the extent of the connectivity.
