"... sound isn't what we'd hope for given the price - it can be too brittle at the top-end, and muddy lower down."

"Recommended"
"That the AirStream10 will play back DAB, FM and Internet radio is hardly revolutionary. Nor is its ability to stream media files from a UPnP server. Rather, it's the combination of these features and its eminently stylish chassis at a surprisingly affordable price that makes the AirStream10 such an attractive proposition."

"Hot Product"
"There is so much to like here, but is comes down to the simple things that make the AirStream 10 a real winner for us: good quality construction, attention to design and detailing and audio that wows. The feature set might not match all those offered by a range of other radios, such as Pure's ReVu option, or access to a wider range of online music services like the Sqeezebox Boom, but in terms of design, the AirStream 10 beats them all. Expensive, but worth every penny."

Wireless networking an commendable audio reproduction from the single speaker, Monitor Audio's Airstream 10 is also beautiful on the eye. Capable of playing all manner of current audio formats, its main limitation for many will be the price.
