I was a little skeptical when I heard that these speakers could be setup in 60 seconds. I actually opened the box expecting it to be much more difficult. Its not!! You literally plug the speaker into the power adapter wherever you want it to live, open the guided setup process, give each of your nodes a name (or dont), and attach them to the WiFi. That. Is. It! It was so fast. The hardest part was inputting the 3 serial numbers to register the 3 nodes... And it wasn't even hard, you do them all on the same page..
When I say it literally took me longer to figure out where I wanted these awesome speakers than it took to get them running - I'm not kidding!!
Complete game-changer when it comes to hosting or playing music throughout the house. Now, when I have guests over, all they have to do is select the 3 nodes form their airplay menu when they want to play music. No hassle with bluetooth that sometimes doesn't connect. Its all connected to wifi!!!
Okay, I know I am rambling, but I am really 100% satisfied with this product. I couldn't be happier. -- Did I mention you could attach as many as you want? It comes with 3, but I think I am going to buy 6 more to have them cover my entire house!
The 3 Dio pack seriously blew my mind! I was smiling the entire time opening them. It literally took me 1 minute to hook up all three speakers, insane! I put one in my kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom and started playing music… literally felt I was in a house party walking around the house.
If you don’t have these, get them now and enjoy the easy set up and intuitive sound!
I purchased 3 of these speakers and they were so easy to use! Set up took me about 2-3 minutes and then I was just jamming away!
These were exactly what was looking for… I ordered one more!!
I've been looking for a sound system for my living space that's easy to set up, affordable, and can meet my needs for hosting events that require audio synching across multiple rooms. Happy to say that I've finally found one late last year in the Dio multi-packs. I've used them for gatherings like kickbacks and parties, and also as a musician, have taken advantage of the sound quality to play back some of my own music while mixing. It's really is one stop solution for all my audio needs!
Things to consider before you buy: No stereo pairing!!! No ability to play >16 bit/44.1 kHz (e.g., 24 bit/48 kHz) because of the limitations of Airplay 2!!! Not Roon tested!!!
Wish they could be charged up with a battery so the power supply wasn’t always a factor
I love the size and ease of setup. I only wish it was louder.
Nice sound. Keeps disconnecting from wifi. Have to restart often. We are going to try wifi boosters to see if that helps. Fingers crossed!
Hi Jennifer, sorry to hear about this! Did you by chance try updating your speakers after you received them? We're constantly launching new updates that improve stability in weaker wifi environments, including as recently as January. I believe your order probably did not ship out with the latest update, so just wanted to check in and see if you've tried that out. If you need any other support, feel free to reach out to us directly at support@dioconnect.com!
P.S, glad you're enjoying the sound quality :)
I am very pleased with the Dio Node speaker system. I tried two other (more expensive) whole house sound systems from other companies, but had to return them due to a constant signal drop and being too complicated to use. I was able to get my Dio 3-pack up and running, playing music in less than ten minutes and have been enjoying the system ever since.
I love these speakers. I’ve had them for a few years now and they’re awesome. They’re affordable and they all sync up so your music is totally continuous throughout the house, wherever you have speakers. I love being able to walk around the house and each room has the same thing playing so I don’t feel stuck in one room if I’m listening to a podcast, or if I want ambient music it doesn’t fade out when I leave the room. But if someone else wants to play something different in another room, they can all play individually as well. It’s so versatile and so, so nice.I originally was interested in having speakers without any microphones since I’m not super comfortable with that idea, but these have exceeded that. I no longer pull out my Bluetooth speaker out of its drawer. Dio Node speakers are fantastic. And I have emailed customer service about an issue I had experienced initially (after first launch), and within a few months, a software update was made to resolve the issue altogether. I am so impressed by their customer service and attentiveness to improving the Dio experience. 10/10 would recommend this company.
I work at a restaurant / inn that is about 3,500 sq feet of public space, and the owner was trying to overhaul the audio system. We have two dining rooms and three outdoor dining areas.
The owner was pulling her hair out trying to figure out a way to cheaply sync audio across multiple rooms. Her current solution was multiple iPhones, a Spotify family plan, and some bluetooth speakers + an old school receiver in the dining room. It took forever to set up, you couldn’t shuffle any playlists or play radio stations (which drives you nuts)
She was trying to spend less than $600 but was prepared to bite the bullet on a couple Sonos speakers.
I got her a set of 3 Dios Nodes, a used Airport Express (late 2012 gen 2) and a Sonos Move, I spent like $400 and through the magic of AirPlay 2, it’s all flawless! Music synced across 5 distinct spaces, one source device, no wires, and I looped in the old receiver to use the 9 wired passive speakers in the dining rooms.
I highly recommend these speakers. They’re not stereo, they don’t have a mic built in, it doesn’t matter.
These are very specific speakers, at an attractive price, and they work flawlessly.
The music is perfectly in sync, you will have trouble hearing the transition from one room to another.
If you have a Sonos or Apple multi-room setup and you’re looking for a cheap way to extend it to your backyard, these speakers are it. If you’ve got a store or a restaurant and you need to build out a multi-room setup cheaply, these are it.
If you’ve got a HomePod in your bedroom and you think it could be fun to sync it up with a shower speaker, get one of these!

This speaker is everything it's advertised to be! It's small, yet powerful, has excellent sound quality, and it fits in with any decor; but my favorite part is how easily I can connect to it from my phone and computer without needing an additional app.
My husband got this speaker in a Breo Box and we love it. The speaker is easy to set up and use, it's small so it can fit anywhere, the sound is clear, and best of all, we love that it does not need an app or charging. Our devices connect seamlessly, which is perfect since the phone's speaker is not powerful enough. It's a great addition for any room!
Dio was super easy to set up and connects reliably to our devices. Very convenient
My husband and I were looking for reasonably priced and RELIABLE speakers that we could put in our bathroom to enjoy some music during our morning routines. I am excited to share that Dio does not disappoint!
1.) Dio is way more reliable than bluetooth speakers that we've tried because it works with airplay. Bluetooth speakers need frequent restarts to work which we just don't have time for in the middle of our AM as we get ready for work.
2.) the Dio speakers integrate well with our nicer Sonos speakers around the house - I can use airplay to play through Dio + Sonos.
3.) The audio quality is great!
4.)As an added bonus, the small rectangular speaker looks very cute sitting next to my morning facewash and lotion.
Ease of use, affordability combined with high quality performance! I love the prim and proper Dio Speakers. I used them for my music parties. it had amazing sound quality.
Just got this speaker through a Breo box my wife got me for Christmas. I listen to lots of classical guitar and it is clear and distinct as my Sonos speakers and my Bose. For a small form factor, the sound is great and sounds like it is coming from a much larger speaker. I’ll need to,add a couple more to complement my whole home system.
The Dio node is a fantastic little speaker that performs well above its price point. My only issue is that I only purchased one during the Black Friday sale!
