Rocki Play Wi-Fi streamer takes on musical favorite Sonos

2014-06-20
when it comes to wireless music there are a lot of players in the market right now but when you're talking about David versus Goliath stories or to put in more modern terms rocky versus Ivan Drago there is no greater fight than that between the rocky play rocky with an eye that is and so knows I anti Pendlebury and at only $49 this Rocky is a plucky little upstart with something to prove while the Drago or Dolph Lundgren in this scenario is so nice bigger prettier and with more resources on its side as a Wi-Fi only player the rocky play is a pretty basic device it comes in a rubber shell with a number of different colors to choose from and fits in the palm of your hand it features an onboard battery which is good for a few hours of playback has a USB power port as well and a 3.5 millimeter output the app that comes with the Rocky is very easy to use and you'll have the device up and running very quickly at the moment its main use is for playing back music on your phone though it does offer SoundCloud access and last.fm scrolling though there are more services to come playback reliability depends on your network but it's mostly solid and definitely better than other solutions like the forest receiver while most music file formats are supported it's Android only at the moment but iOS is true very soon sound quality is a lot better than you would expect for such an expensive device and almost as good as the Sonos connect which is worth seven times surprised though rocky was expected to lose this fight it seems that the little player could shake up audio streaming in the same way that chromecast has for video streaming at 50 bucks it's almost a no-brainer unlike dolph lundgren who is actually around 160 idea this is five Pendlebury for Cena
