The Audio Pro Addon C10 wireless & smart speaker goes under €200 at Amazon, a drop of around 28% on the usual price. This is currently our best value for money.
Just before the big Drumfire, the Addon C10 is the most imposing speaker in the new multiroom range from the manufacturer Audio Pro. The latter had pleasantly surprised us with its Addon T3 for its first appearance in our labs. Let’s see if this larger and more versatile model, launched at €350, performs as well.
Audio Pro Addon C10
Introductory price 350 €

After Addon T3, Audio Pro continues to surprise us with this Addon C10. This sedentary connected speaker is certainly not the best equipped on the market in terms of connectivity and functionality, but it delivers a superb listening experience. It remains to be hoped that the manufacturer will give its application a facelift to make the multiroom experience richer and more intuitive.
Strong points
- Excellent quality sound reproduction.
- Accurate, good readability of the soundstage.
- Excellent power to size ratio.

- Robust, neat workmanship.

Alternatively
Marshall Acton II Voice
Introductory price €299
- Ergonomics
- Speech Recognition
- Audio
Even if everything is not perfect, the Acton II Voice scores essential points. This model will satisfy people looking for a high-performance and classy Google Assistant (GA) sedentary speaker. Although it is one of the few GA speakers to offer a mini-jack input, it is still somewhat limited compared to some competitors without a voice assistant, such as the Addon C5. It’s up to you to choose according to your priorities.
