Wow. Beautiful piece of art and the sound quality is top notch. So much so, I decided to play a recorded message to my wife using the speaker letting her know we aren’t able to pay the mortgage bill for a few months due to the cost, but she was so impressed with the clear audio, she got over it quickly. One star removed for the charging port not being easily accessible. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I have a fair amount of experience with many of the most well-known premium/luxury brand speakers on the market. There is no question that Bang and Olufsen is one of the most recognized luxury brands in the world for producing premium acoustics/speakers. So, I was hopeful that this Beosound 2, 3rd generation multiroom Wi-Fi speaker would live up to the standards and reputation that Bang and Olufsen has earned over the years. It absolutely did. From Torsten Valeur's design meant to evoke the spirit of a musical instrument to the high-grade, solid aluminum conical shape that enhances the acoustic quality, this speaker is exquisite. It was very easy to setup by downloading the Bang and Olufsen app from the Apple or Google app store. The app will find the speaker and update the latest version of Bang and Olufsen's proprietary Mozart software platform. The app also offers a number of other features and functions for configuring and controlling the speaker. Once found, you can connect your speaker to your home Wi-Fi, connect a wired network cable to the ethernet port, connect a wired music player via the included auxiliary cable to USB C port adapter, or connect via Bluetooth 5.2. The Beosound 2 also has Chromecast built-in, Bluetooth Audio Streaming, Apple Airplay, DLNA-dir., Spotify Connect and Play 2.0 integrated for a wide selection and support of your favorite streaming services. The acoustic quality was astonishing. This speaker offers clean and precise mids, high-frequency clarity, crisp treble, and deep and rich bass quality. Every part of the acoustic range was excellent, and with the advanced 360-degree technology built-in, the sound quality could be enjoyed from anywhere in the room. Apart from being an excellent individual speaker, the Beosound2 also can be linked with other Bang and Olufsen speakers to deliver a whole home sound experience. You can choose between the natural aluminum or gold finish to suit your decor. I highly recommend this Beosound 2 speaker to anyone considering a whole home wireless sound system that offers both exceptional acoustics and eye catching aesthetics. Read more

First and foremost, Bang & Olufsen is a luxury brand with an emphasis on design and quality. I typically don’t get these types of items, but happy to review this as an ‘average person.’ The box and factory packaging are average, which is fine since most people toss all that anyway. The aluminum body is seamless and very artistic-looking. Definitely a visually interesting piece. What is really cool is the light for the touch controls-there’s a pointy cone with the light at the tip (see picture). You’ll need to download the B&O app and use that to complete the set up. The app found the speaker as a nearby item and after connecting the wifi it automatically updated which took a few minutes. Connecting to Bluetooth was simple and will be my primary way of playing music. After connecting it will send out a tone to analyze the room for the room compensation. It just takes a few seconds to do that. As for how it sounds, this thing can get LOUD! I’m amazed at how loud it can get. It would do fantastic in large rooms. The 360 degree sound works really well. I placed it in my open living room and kitchen, and as I moved around I can hear the difference between this and another ‘normal’ speaker. There are two mid speakers back-to-back and if you position yourself close and directly on the side you can hear a slight difference since there is no mid pointing in your direction. I’m not an audio person, but using 4 small mids would have been a better for the 360. Regardless it works well. The bass is good, initially I was wishing for more but then I get back to reality and realize that this is a single compact unit. It is very good bass for the size. It also matters what you set it on for the bass to reverberate. Try different positioning and redo the room compensation. The equalizer in the B&O app only has bass and treble settings. I wish there was an advanced mode that gave you the full sound range. A neat feature are the sound modes and you can create a custom one using this cool user interface (see picture). Overall it sounds great! If you’re willing to pay the “luxury tax” for an artistic look. Read more

I bought two Beosound 2's to use as rear channel speakers with my Beosound Theatre. Thanks to the latest 4.1.1 update, you can use any B&O Mozart speaker (up to 4 of them) with the Theatre in any position in your room. The only down side with digital power link, is you can't use the Beosound 2 again as a stand alone speaker unless you remove it from the setup first. Since I'm using them as rears, I have no plans to use them as stand alone anyways. The bass coming out of the Beosound 2 is strong enough to vibrate the cheap tables I have them temporarily sitting on. I have some dedicated stands are on order. Read more
