In an interesting move, Roon, makers of my beloved music player app, has just opened the Roon Store, “a hyper-curated online store dedicated to showcasing the best audio products that work seamlessly with Roon.”
The grand opening features products in two categories—All-in-one speakers and Music Servers.
As the Roon Store tells us, the current selection is limited to just a few favorites but more is coming soon.
“Over time, we’ve received more and more questions from users about which products have this or that feature, which would be better for a bedroom vs a patio, or which offers the best value at a particular price point. All that interest has inspired us to think about how to provide a new service for Roon users,” said Roon founder and CEO, Enno Vandermeer. “Shopping for audio gear online isn’t especially easy or fun, so we decided to do for the audio shopping experience what Roon itself did for music browsing and discovery.”
I suppose the value here lies in the notion of a curated selection, which, given the ever-growing abundance of Roon Tested & Roon Ready devices—the company just added 40 new devices from 20 brand partners in Q1 of this year alone—a select selection can come in handy.
