Third-party reviews

What customers like about Vifa Stockholm

  • Premium Nordic aesthetics featuring high-quality Kvadrat woven wool fabric
  • Excellent, well-balanced sound with crystal-clear highs and detailed mid-range
  • Wide soundstage that accurately separates vocals and instruments
  • Versatile connectivity options including Bluetooth with aptX support, Wi-Fi, and AUX input
  • Multi-room functionality allows linking multiple speakers for a true surround sound experience
  • Comes with a sturdy, high-quality solid zinc remote control
  • Can be wall-mounted or placed flexibly on a surface

What customers don't like about Vifa Stockholm

  • Extremely expensive price point compared to standard bluetooth speakers
  • Lacks an official IP rating, meaning it has no protection against water, rain, or dust
  • The fabric grill is difficult to clean compared to plastic or metal grilles
  • Some users report a lack of deep, heavy bass necessary for live rock records or booming tracks
  • The official companion app can be clunky, buggy, or difficult to pair with
  • No built-in physical equalizer controls on the speaker body to manually fine-tune the sound profile

Verdict

The Vifa Stockholm is a premium wireless speaker and soundbar featuring an authentic Nordic design with a die-cast aluminum frame and custom-made Kvadrat textile grilles. It delivers a high-performance stereo audio experience through an eight-driver configuration, which includes two 28mm soft dome tweeters, two 80mm aluminum midrange units, and four 100mm mechanically force-balanced woofers supported by four passive radiators, providing a frequency response of 42Hz to 20kHz. Its primary advantages are outstanding, distortion-free sound quality optimized by a built-in DSP, a multi-room VifaHOME setup, and robust wireless connectivity including Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth aptX HD, Apple AirPlay, and DLNA. However, its notable drawbacks include a lack of a built-in rechargeable battery, requiring continuous main AC power, an heavy weight of 9.8 kg that limits true on-the-go portability despite its travel bag, and a lack of modern physical inputs like HDMI for seamless TV integration.
