The Addon T3 is the most compact and affordable speaker offered by Scandinavian manufacturer Audio Pro. This widely acclaimed sedentary portable speaker has finally arrived in our labs. It’s time to find out if his reputation is not usurped.
The Addon T3 is a sedentary portable speaker that focuses above all on the quality of its sound reproduction, and that’s so much the better! It can also count on very good manufacturing and wireless communication with little latency, which also makes it a speaker of choice for watching your favorite series. On the other hand, its connectivity is particularly limited, almost worthy of the first wireless speakers. If you’re more into modern features without sacrificing sound quality, take a look at the Zipp, for example, and for more portable use, look to the Xtreme.
Strong points
- Very homogeneous, rich and relatively precise rendering
- Nice restitution of vocals.
- Nice reserve of power, well controlled.
- Contained communication latency.
- Solid and serious manufacturing.
Weak points
- Some problems in monophonic summation.
- Bass a little swollen (some resonances may appear).
- Few controls.
- Very rudimentary connectivity.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The SRS-XG300 produces a very clean copy and has everything you need to satisfy those looking for a solid speaker, both in terms of design and sound performance, extremely easy to use and complete. A few minor flaws tarnish the picture and prevent it from perfectly dominating the competition, notably its cousin XB43, which we will prefer for its absolutely unbeatable quality/size/price ratio… unless we feel an irrepressible need for sound power bully.
