It would be good to have an app, though, even if the core sound is great.
And that price is just too high in the US.
Before battery, before looks, before features, before anything else, I want to know whether itsoundsgood.
That all went out of the window with the Dali Katch G2.
A wonderful design that looks different to nearly everything else in the testing room?
Its notcheap,but neither is it completely out of reach.
Thats slightly more than the similarly speccedUE MegaBoom 3, but its 100 less than theBose SoundLink Max.
Getting it out of the box, that feeling remained perfectly intact.
The design of the speaker is good as well.
I think it would happily fit into any room in the house, thanks to its Danish-made design.
Its a flat design that stands up on rubber feet so that it doesnt slip around.
The best bit though is the leather handle.
Theyre all positively clicky, and each button does exactly what youd expect.
No app, no extra controller.
(If youve got $1,089 lying around, of course.
If you do, you should probably look at theCambridge Audio Evo Oneinstead.)
Want to get juiced up quickly if youre in a hurry?
No problem, itll only take a couple of hours to go from 0 to 100 percent.
One connector plus is the AUX connector though.
A physical connection to your speaker?
I do, and I love it.
Dali Katch G2 review: Sound Quality
Dali isnt about making a statement with its sound.
Its about sonic control, and understated quality that gets you into the groove without pummeling you into submission.
Its an effortless presentation, and as a result, the Dali Katch G2 excels at most genres.
The midrange is wonderfully smooth and well-represented and doesnt suffer from any kind of over-layering.
Some might find the bass lacking, but theyd be looking in the wrong place.
There might not be customizable EQ, but with sound this good, you wont mind.
The highs are detailed, with plenty of clarity and brightness.
Cymbals and other high-range sounds are great, with plenty of energy.
There might not be customizable EQ, but with sound this good, you wont mind.
My test tracks came from Qobuz, one of thebest streaming music servicesaround, thanks to its hi-res streaming.
McGraw croons with his southern lilt, smooth and instantly recognizable.
The bass is well defined too, and the violins dance across the top.
Everything is present and correct.
If you want to feel the bass hit more, thenThem Changesis a great way to go.
But then, when it costs this much more, youd hope so.
I cant, in good conscience, say that its a good buy at that price.
This is a speaker for the most ardent sound quality fan.
For everyone else, you might want to take your money and buy something from UE or Bose.
Will they sound as good?
Absolutely not, and youll not get that super premium design.
