Rubbish
Wished I hadn’t spent 1000s on 8 speakers. It’s so unstable. Very clunky. If you want a life of getting up on a step every couple of months to ‘find’ the speakers and get them in a group, well great! Bluetoothing to a smart tv which only accepts 2 pairs and not the 3 pairs intended is disappointing. The audio delay is poor and echoing across the 2 pairs. Do not get if you want an immersive sound. We have a very large room and hoped to be able to
hear the TV at both ends. What we didn’t want were amps and soundbars beneath our media wall. I imagine hardwiring them is much more stable. Our electricians have to keep coming back and renaming the speakers from a confusing set of serial numbers. I am pretty sure they won’t be recommending these speakers again. I am in my 70s and frankly I don’t need this constant activity. Don’t get me started on the app! Hugely disappointing. Oh how I wished I had read the reviews.

PoE Speakers are a great concept and Lithe has ticked most of the boxes.
I do like the Pro ceiling speakers. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I have several IP44 sets installed in our bathrooms. The sound is great and the integration with apple, google and Alexa is pretty much seamless. Volume control could be better, but this may not be lithe’s fault but limitations on the formers API’s. The install and setup is easy, however, the app could be a little more polished. The speakers need a better internal web interface if the app is not available and this was a little half baked. If I could change anything, I would have made the bolt on PoE hat have a pass thru Ethernet output to the pro speaker. Otherwise for PoE speaker power and an Ethernet connection to the speaker you need two Ethernet cables which is just plain silly. I used a third party PoE splitter that provided the 24V@2.5A and the solution worked a treat with one PoE Ethernet cable. This solution was less than half the price of the lithe offering and only required one cable to the speaker for power and Ethernet. I will be buying more. A little more work on the app and a rethink of the PoE hat will make it an even better product. Well done lithe.
Edit: I understand that a new single cable PoE hat will be available in 2026. Well done Lithe. Companies that innovate due to feedback from their customers deserve to be supported. I will definitely be buying more Lithe Speakers!

Do not buy these speakers
These speakers never stay connected to Wifi. I’m 65 years old and to reset these speakers to reconnect them to Wifi, I have to go up a ladder 3metres, remove the cover, press the reset button for 10 seconds, try and connect it to Airplay and then do this at least 3 times before it works. I’m sick and tired of this. I want my money back!

App not fit for purpose
The speakers are great when you eventually get them working, the app however is utter rubbish!! For the money paid for the speakers, I would expect the app to at least be functional. Please sort it out, you’re selling a premium product!!
Can’t find speakers
After the last update I’m constantly resetting speakers (every week).. and the app doesn’t even find them anymore. Please fix.
App DOSE not work
So annoyed I spent 3k and the app dose not work at all it can’t even find the speakers. What do I do now!!
It doesn’t detect Bluetooth speakers
I bought a Bluetooth speaker for the bathroom - the app does not detect it.
Shame cannot control the sound of Bluetooth speakers!
Makes it poor choice to buy more…
DEVELOPERS - make it work with Bluetooth speakers as well!
How to control the sound on iPhone otherwise?

Fantastic update!! Really?
Yet another pointless update from a developer! Why do you update an app, and make it so difficult to use the system? Every single time you do an update I have to go round and setup the speakers again. Just do an update, but allow the user to carry on using.
Great speakers, rubbish app
Speakers are great, sounds good but as others say, software is full of bugs, random disconnects, the app is more interested in setting an alarm than playing music, pro speakers need adds on’s!!! I do love the two speakers I have but for the money they should be perfect
Poor experience with app and speakers
Poor app, poor connectivity. These speakers drop out all the time, expensive mistake
App needs updating
The app constantly toggles the alarm on when you go into a speakers settings which is very annoying. It also glitches and the volume resets to very loud 50%. I’ve factory reset the speakers and app and it still does the same. Could an update be released please?
Waste of money!
The App is shockingly poor! What a waste of money
GOOD SPEAKERS POOR SOFTWARE
The speakers are good when they are working they sound great BUT……..I am constantly resetting each speaker and starting setup again due to them dropping out and losing WiFi. This seems to be a common issue looking at the other reviews
Really annoying when they drop for how expensive they are, I would avoid buying these in the future

Poor Performane
This is the most frustrating and overly expensive product I have ever purchased. The speakers never stay connected to the App and to reconnect is totally frustrating. After an $8,000 investment, my recommendation is spend the extra and go with Sonos
Poor quality app
The app is very out of date.
Almost not needed as nothing works there.
You cannot play radio, you cannot set up any rules etc.
Far away from the great one like Sonos….

Worst producer ever
Speakers don’t work. App doesn’t work. Support doesn’t work because of AI. Speakers sometimes plays and sometimes are gone from wifi or airplay. If you are thinking about buying something from Lithe. Think one more time.
None of my speakers are found!
Terrible app, none of my speakers are found despite repeatedly deleting and reinstalling the app. I cannot control anything - although note that i can play through the speakers using my phone/airplay. Just no control via the app as the speakers don’t exist!

Speaker Settings Page
I use the app regularly with the Wifi Pro Speakers but there is one glitch that is really annoying:
If you go on to the speaker setting page, the alarm function is always toggled on and covers half of the page!
Toggling it off doesn’t save and next time I open the speaker settings page its back on again.
Can this be fixed so it saves the state or just remove the alarm function completely or at the very least, move it elsewhere?

Horrendous don’t waste your money
Constant connection problems. Not sure how you’re meant to reset unplug from mains when they’re plumbed into the system. No speaker sharing on very inadequate app.
