UPS gave me the wrong estimated date and left it at my front door 1 day early. I didn't have a proper source to test, but I had a chance to play with the Bluetooth function using my Sony Xperia Z1 (which supports aptX).
I had no trouble pairing with the phone, as it was just a simple Bluetooth button on the remote and using the "Throw" function to find and pair any speakers around the area. The remote works great, and surprisingly works well with play/pause/change tracks on Android (particularly Sony's proprietary Walkman music player).
I can't really put any final comments on how these sound since I laid them on the carpet floor while using the included styrofoam as "stands", as well as streaming the music through Bluetooth. However, there were no hiccups with the connection, while the overall sound performed nicely across various genres of music.
I think one of the potential major cons (so far) is how these speakers rely on the remote quite frequently. It's certainly great that the speakers have a remote so you don't need to reach to flip any buttons or switches. But if the speakers have so many adjustable functions through the remote, and the remote eventually fails..."touch wood", then the functions are basically gone. Perhaps adding bass/treble knobs at the back? A physical Bluetooth pairing button? It certainly allows the user to utilize most of the speakers' functions even if the remote is gone.
