$639 price is ridiculous for something this size no matter how "smart" it is. but it's Braun and they are known for high quality with good design.
the size is 17cm x 17cm x 8cm and it's a mono speaker so keep that in mind.
I would consider this a $300 maybe $350 if pushing it Bluetooth/WiFi speaker which is discounted to $152.
it supports Airplay 2, Chromecast and google voice assistant which might be a upside or downside. I prefer if it wasn't smart so I could just charge it and connect to bluetooth.
