context_section_description: The "SoundLink Air" was released in 2012 and used solely with Apple devices, since it used Apple's AirPlay protocol instead of Bluetooth. Unlike other SoundLink devices, the Air was mains powered, although a battery accessory was an optional extra.
  Reviewers praised the sound quality and build quality, but commented that competing systems may offer a better experience, and criticised the price of the optional battery and the bulkiness of the wall-plug adaptor. Sales of the SoundLink Air ended in 2014.
