”For sound quality at this price, this system remains unbeatable”. ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2020 award-winner.
Now with multi-room flexibility
New to this fantastic C-Series of Addon speakers is the ability to link together several speakers for effortless, multi-room sound. Controlled via a dedicated app, setting a multi-speaker system up around your home is easy. Thanks to Internet connection via Wi-Fi, there’s no need for any wires between rooms, either. Even more impressively, you can incorporate old Bluetooth-only Addon speakers*, by using a C3, C5 or C10 as a parent speaker. (*Audio Pro ADDON Link 1 required for function support).
Connect up to a wider range of music
With its new found connection, the C5 opens up a whole new realm of music sources. Apple’s AirPlay is now supported and Internet radio is far easier to use, thanks to the built-in presets – no need to trouble your smartphone anymore for quick station changes.
Bluetooth 4.0 for quality music streaming
As before, the C5 also features Bluetooth 4.0 for quality music streaming. Compatible with a wide range of Bluetooth devices, this is the perfect way to quickly connect a source, such as a friend’s smartphone, and stream their music. For all other sources, the Addon C5 has both RCA phono and 3.5mm, AUX inputs.
Hi-Fi sound
Engineered to the highest standards, the ADDON C5 still puts sound quality as a top priority. It might not be the sleekest Bluetooth speaker but it's certainly one of the best-sounding at its price. Twin treble units combined with a dedicated woofer give strong dynamics, punchy bass and natural-sounding vocals. Audio Pro's advanced audio technology and acoustic experience provides a speaker with a big sound from a small box.
Powerful sound
For the ultimate in speaker control, each drive unit is driven by a dedicated digital amplifier. With 25 watts for the bass unit and 8 watts to each tweeter, a total power output of around 40 watts is on hand to give powerful, room-filling sound.
Connect up to multi-room speaker of real quality, with the Audio Pro Addon C5.

Unexpected but very welcome
I wanted an internet radio and something that would play music from our DNLA server at home so I ordered a Roberts i94 naturally because that’s what everyone seems to be recommending for the job. When it arrived, I was immediately underwhelmed by the sound and the clumsy interface on the unit so after struggling with it for a few days, I sent it back to the retailer. I called my local RIcher Sounds in Cardiff and Andy there recommended the Addon C5 which I had previously dismissed as its name suggested it was an Addon to something else.. He assured me that it would do all of this but as I couldn’t see anything on the controls that suggested that it could, I doubted that it would. Nevertheless, I ordered the speaker and it arrived the next day.
Initial impression was that the quality was 100% - I ordered the grey one with the Brass controls and it looked stunning! I installed the app and it detected the speaker immediately. It also recognised the DLNA server and added it immediately. I was able to browse the library and play songs within a few seconds with zero fuss. The sound was just amazing. I can honestly say that I was not expecting anything so small to sound so good but it was knock-your-socks-off good! The app is a pleasure to use and it allowed me to customise pretty much everything the way I wanted it.
I am very, very happy with this speaker. It just sounds excellent whatever you play through it and the app just works. Love it!

Nightmare to set up and keep working
I bought two Addon C5s. They are only suitable for someone who likes a lot of complicated tech and spending hours and hours on set ups and updating and reinstalling. I'd prefer wired speakers that are plug and play – no apps, no software updates and subsequent loss of function. They were set up to work with iPad and Windows laptop. They stopped working with anything but \I could get them going again on the iPad. They now don't work with the Windows laptop, and I have made several attempts , googling, using the Addon website but nothing works for me. Whatever I try I cannot get the connection restored. The software appears to have vanished. I find Addon’s website a nightmare and there are unhappy reviewers complaining about the website and the software. They don't have any customer service you can speak to. Email communication with Addon has been a waste of time for me because I can’t understand what they are saying and basically their reply seemed to be a brush-off . Richer Sounds say they'll charge £99 to come out and check over my equipment and try to identify the problems. For me, these 2 speakers have been a waste of money . I also never managed to get them connected to my Windows PC.

Just what we wanted.
I selected the C5 after reading a copy of Hi Fi mag. It is superb, the sound is sublime. It was easy to set up, integrate with Alexa and the WiFi. A winner. We will probably buy more for other rooms.

Fab sound, really intuitive to set up and use
I got this as a replacement for my Audio Pro T5 which sadly conked out (special thanks to the repairs team and Holborn store staff for making the repair/replacement service so easy and seamless on the extended RS guarantee). The sound is even better than the one it replaced, everything’s been easy to use, and in particular Apple lossless music via Airplay is super clear and precise through these speakers.

Impressive
Bought this in the last two weeks and it’s really much better than I anticipated. Easy to set up and start listening. Equally impressive was the ease of ordering and earlier than anticipated delivery.

Great sound and lovely looking speaker
I bought this a few weeks ago and it has transformed my listening experience. Initially it was hard to get Bluetooth to work but once I realised you had to press the on button twice to get BT instead of WI-FI then I was good to go and haven’t looked back. Have played a range of music on it so far from Apple phone mainly and it’s been spectacular at loud and quieter volumes. Looks beautiful and sounds great...

Superb Quality
Have had one of these for a year now. The sound quality is absolutely brilliant. Easy to set up and noticed by many friends. Just ordered a second speaker for multi room function. Yes they are that good....
