jamvids 37 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Has anyone out there had any experience of the Pure Jongo wifi and Bluetooth multi room effort? Looks brilliant and you can use your existing audio equipment and add DAB, teamed up with MB3 this could be the poor man's answer to Sonos and even kick it's bum. Any thoughts?

politby 88 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I had a brief look and it looks like unless you use their own music service, you have to stream from the Android/iOS device using Bluetooth, with all the pairing hassles and other shortcomings. I suggest you take a look at the Raumfeld system from Teufel Audio which is much better integrated with the various music sources and does not use Bluetooth. I use the Raumfeld Connector and it is quite brilliant. -- There are two kinds of people. Those who can extrapolate from missing information.

jamvids 37 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Very good, but I have answered my own question, I have to work on a budget, and for 50 quid I had to try it, so here is MB3 playing on the Pure connect app This is via WiFi, and the bluetooth works great too. Can't wait for crimbo for the second one to arrive. So yes I have multiroom audio in one room at the moment so the proof of the pudding is yet to come but I have heard good things. Maybe black Friday will throw up a deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamvids 37 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 P.S. It was hassle free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamvids 37 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 The Raumfeld one is half the price of sonos, and pure is a third of the price of that, though there is no line in on this which was a sticking point for me but the DLNA works great, though there is no trebble or bass apart for on the speakers you can buy. You can get a DAB that will slot into this system too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabali 0 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I got a Pure Jongo S3 wireless speaker. The Pure application on Android fails to open up everytime emby is running. I have to shut down the emby server in order to access Pure to set up the speaker or to stream. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamvids 37 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Nothing, it worked great initially, I used it for over a year and no problems. Then that started happening. I got on to their technical people who told me that it wasn't DLNA certified. I used it over Bluetooth from that point which was still good for multi room. You could use emby sync if you want to use their app (still good for radio) or bluetooth with the Emby app. I have recently replaced my jongos for Chromecast Audio which is just awesome and cheap. If you have a line in on the Jongo that would be my preferable option. Are you in the UK? How does the speaker sound?

Kabali 0 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I just figured that if I switch off the DLNA server option within emby, my pure app doesnt crash. But that means Jongo is only a bluetooth speaker :-( The speaker is just awesome. Amazing crystal clear sound that fills the room. I am in India.

jamvids 37 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Would really recommend a Chromecast Audio then, my new favourite thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
