If it’s audio fireworks, a sort of sonic shock and awe, that you’re after then you can buy a similarly specified system that will grab you by the lapels a lot more readily than the Technics SC-CX700. But like a lot of slow-burn systems, once the CX700 has revealed its talents they’re likely to be a lot more satisfying in the long run…

Overall, the Technics SC-CX700 Premium Class Wireless Speaker delivers an outstanding balance of design, functionality and sound performance. While the app’s feature set and responsiveness could use some work at the time of writing, the Space Tune technology is a game-changer, especially for those who don’t have perfectly tuned rooms. The build quality and attention to detail give these speakers a luxurious feel, and once everything is dialled in, the sound quality is well delivered. For those looking for premium wireless speakers that combine style, eco-friendly design, and optimal sound space technology, the SC-CX700 is a solid choice.

In pure performance terms, there's plenty to like here for all but the most committed bass-heads. The Technics SC-CX700 is a judicious and even-handed listen, one which strikes a highly agreeable balance between insight and entertainment. Factor in its fine build and excellent connectivity, and this system has much going for it. Oh, and if you're a fan of its slightly 'flock wallpaper' finish, you'll find this system to be number one in a field of one. An interesting product then, and well worth an audition.
