The sound is quite good, with clear highs and midrange and a slightly thick bass. Sound is loud enough to fill a small to mid size room. The mobile app is a bit stark compared to the Sonos app, but it supports all the services I need, but it does not support iTunes streaming. it does support Amazon Music HD and Tidal so if you want hi-res content, it has you covered. The app lacks any sort of unified search and unfortunately it does not allow access to your Amazon Music library, which is a royal pain. If there was one change I would make to the app it would be to allow this.
I bought this speaker to solve a problem, I often listen to the same radio station in both my living room and my office and having them out of sync when streaming via my AVR and my computer in the office was distracting. This speaker solved that problem handily and it also sounds good. At $199 it is will worth it.

Loud, good sound, flexible communications options, somewhat fussy setup
This is one of those devices that requires absolute adherence to the setup instructions. There's nothing intuitive about it, and even when you follow the instructions to the letter,mounted may end up, as I did, unable to play music from your phone on it with no idea why. I repeatedly got a puzzling "unable to stream now. Try again later" error message that made no sense at all... so I turned everything off, restarted the HEOS and my phone,mans it all worked. I was able to stream from my Amazon Vine account, my Soundcloud account, and direct from the phone.And the sound was pretty good. The HEOS plays much louder than you'd expect from such a small box- it can get uncomfortably loud in my living room, and even at the highest volumes it doesn't distort. There's enough bass extension so music doesn't sound thin. The question is, is it worth three bills? If you already have a decent sound system, maybe not. It's pretty easy and inexpensive these days to connect a computer or smart phone to your stereo via Bluetooth or USB adapters. If you don't have a stereo- which is increasingly the case these days- but you do have a tablet, a smartphone, or a laptop, the HEOS is a good way to provide room-filling sound from your portable electronics. You can connect it you computer via USB, to almost any smart device vi Bluetooth or WiFi, or directly to any device with a 1/8" headphone jack. It's also possible to network several HEOS systems together in different rooms throughout your house, though I can see this could quickly became pretty costly.Even if you do have a good stereo system, the HEOS is a handy way to deliver sound to a part of your house or apartment that doesn't have a sound system. Put it in your garage, your basement, of on your deck, and if can communicate with your home WiFi network or your device's Bluetooth signal, you can stream sound to it. I have mine in my basement workshop (see photo) where I'm using it to stream music from my iPhone and my Amazon Vine account.
