Distinctive look
The Wren V5BT AirPlay wireless speaker system blurs the line between quality audio gear and fine home décor. This stylish retro-looking design features a curved cabinet, trimmed in silver. The wood veneer top and silver speaker grille complete the look of this elegant system.
Available with rosewood veneer (front) or bamboo wood veneer (back).
Exceptional sound
The system features two high-performance 3/4" tweeters for clear highs and two 3" drivers for clean midrange and low tones. A bass port in the rear further reinforces the low frequencies. The V5BT's cabinet is made of MDF to minimize unwanted resonance. And the silicone pad on the bottom acts as a cushion to soak up the cabinet vibrations.
Wren's proprietary Digital Signal Processing circuitry ensures accurate signal decoding and lifelike sound reproduction. The system is powered by a built-in 50-watt Class-D amplifier. You'll experience warm, natural sound, whether playing your music at low or high volume levels.
High quality Bluetooth audio
The V5BT features aptX® audio coding, an advanced form of Bluetooth that allows higher-fidelity sound with compatible Bluetooth devices. The system is backwards-compatible with earlier forms of Bluetooth, too. So you can wirelessly stream music from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or other portable and still enjoy outstanding sound.
Praise for the Wren V5 from inner|fidelity
"I've heard some reasonably good sounding devices of this type in the past... I'd say the Wren is my favorite of the bunch. It sounds great, but more importantly — it looks better in a stylish-yet-not-in-your-face sort of way."

For their size and price, I think the new Wren units are a home run. I was blown away at how well these small units filled our large training room. I use a JBL OnBeat at home and have had it for a couple of years now. It's similarly sized to these Wren speakers but docks an iPod touch®. I've been looking to replace that since I now use an Android smartphone that has aptX® Bluetooth® that I could take advantage of. Right now, the V5BT is the front-runner for me.
Bluetooth pairing on the V5BT was really easy; we had audio in a matter of seconds. If you have a small- to medium-sized room, you'll find plenty of volume to fill it with no tinny sound to fatigue your ears. These speakers sound great. To top it all off, they have real wood veneer on them and look just as elegant as they sound.
