Is the T2 worth $649?

If you want a wall-mounted display that shows lyrics and art while playing music, the combination is hard to match at this size. If you mainly want sound, a conventional speaker at the same price will outperform it.

How does it compare with a regular soundbar or bookshelf speaker?

The T2 adds a 30-inch screen, lyric sync and art modes that a soundbar lacks. A dedicated stereo pair at $649 will likely give cleaner imaging and deeper bass.

Does it need to be plugged in?

Yes. There is no battery, so plan an outlet near the mounting spot. It connects to your network over dual-band Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 5.0.

Expect the framed speaker, a power adapter and wall-mounting hardware. Confirm the exact bundle with the store before ordering.

Can I load my own photos and videos?

Yes. The MorningBlues app lets you add personal photos and videos alongside the built-in artworks and lyric modes.
