Today, let's take a look at the Syng Cell Alpha, spatial audio loudspeaker. At $2500 these aren't cheap, but the sound is something else. No really. Tune in to see what the fuss is all about!

Sounds very interesting. I think you did a great job of conveying how they actually sound. I’m happy with my present system but they would be cool to listen to.

Thanks much Will. It’s a very different experience for sure…

Definitely interesting, but I think they come in at a difficult market point, especially where you need multiple loudspeakers to really experience the full benefit of the design. It will be hard to sway audiophiles who are looking to drop $4-7k away from a more traditional hifi set-up (how do I put my LP into this thing??), and it sits above what people looking for good quality "lifestyle" audio products are willing to spend. Next time I'm in LA, I'll see if I can sneak away to one of their retailers and give them a listen. Nice review!

Agreed 👍🏼 it’s a hard sell to audiophiles because we are stuck in the mindset that only 2 channels can lead to musical bliss. Imagine if we applied that reasoning to video… we’d still have VHS! Hence why I used the twin “prism” view during the review.

If these had Aux inputs Id buy in a heartbeat. Sure, there are UBC/HMDi/Aux adapters, but, really? Ill wait for version 2 (provided they listen and react to market needs)

Agreed. A bit hamstrung by the single USB-C “dongle”…

Have you connected this to a TV? I'm interested in a comparison with the Sonos surround sound setup.

Good question, I did. In fact, I have the system running in our bedroom as a HiFi / video setup connected to Apple TV via AirPlay. I do not have a surround processor or even an HDMI out so cant’ really test it that way. I will say that the connection via AirPlay is rock solid (tvOS 17) and the fun factor is through the roof listening to movies or tv shows or even just playing music through Tidal / Spotify or Apple Music via Apple TV. I am not an expert on video sourced sound so can’t really say how it compares to Sonos or similar. That said, color me impressed with this setup!

We just replaced a pair of HomePods we’ve been using for years as our main TV speaker for the Sonos ARC with two rear play 5’s and it’s been a large upgrade in terms of sound depth, but still was very impressed by the HomePods. I can only image that Sync Alpha’s set up as a trio would probably be next level.

@clintgolub1751 it’s really - surprisingly - quite good in a video setup environment…
