Product Information

Here's the Beosound Edge vs Beoplay A9 vs Beosound 2 chart: https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/us/comparison/products?slug=speakers&p1=beosound-2&p2=beosound-edge&p3=beoplay-a9 Moving on, as mentioned earlier into the post, Beoplay A9 produces stronger sound output than the Beosound 2. At the time of its introduction it was - and still is - a very basic machine and one which sits in a market which has been overrun by other (better) manufacturers’ products.

Positioning against the wall is ideal for optimal listening experiences, whether it is sound that fills the whole room or sound that is aimed at the listener. With Beamforming technology, Beosound Balance delivers directional sound for focused listening experiences from multiple positions. And if the home, on the other hand, is full of guests, the unique acoustic configuration of seven units will deliver deep, precise bass and great sound that fills the entire room – all in one solution. If your new speaker will take place inside a mostly 50-60 square meters apartment flat, then Beosound 2 can mostly be a better choice. Any room larger than that and Beoplay A9 can be more suitable - especially for detached houses. Two-way communication between BeoSound 2 and the computer allows BeoSound 2's software to be updated simply and easily. In this fashion, BeoSound 2 endures as an up-to-date and relevant music player, benefiting from the rapid evolvement of the Internet-based music arena.B&O på Frederiksberg er altid lynhurtige til at reagere og til at levere en service i højeste kvalitet.

BeoSound 2 Review: Powerful and impressive - Tech Week

Both shine in this department. Google compatibility and assistance aside, they also come with Spotify, Deezer, QQ Music, and TuneIn internet radio integrated into the system. What’s more, these can be accessed without your gadget. The right speaker for your room entails not just sound quality. Its aesthetics play a vital role in the atmosphere it lends to your space. The first thing you'll notice is that these speakers are both meant to stand out, not blend in. The futuristic, unconventional lines and shapes almost give them a sculpturesque vibe. A solid aluminum exterior and finishes are available in silver or brass, giving a stately look that leaves no doubt of their high-end audiophile heritage. If you own a spacious room (more than, say, 60 m² (645 ft²)), I'd strongly recommend you to disregard Beosound 2. Chances are, its power is going to suffer. Internal batteries lasted for up to ten hours, quite a low number of user hours by anyone’s standards nowadays. This is a problem because it means that Spinorama alone, unfortunately, won't give us all we need. Placement and reflections play an equally important role there too.

BeoPlayer automatically sorts all your digital music by artist, genre, song title and album title, as well as allows you to create your own specially composed play lists. Just drag-and-drop your songs from BeoPlayer to BeoSound 2, and you are on your way out the door. Future-safe BeoSound 2 is a shining example of how Bang & Olufsen puts the user situation ahead of industry hype. We aim to provide simplicity and clarity in the otherwise swirling sea surrounding Internet music, just as we do in the field of home entertainment" continues Sørensen. Automatic organisation Today we have presented a new member of the Bang & Olufsen Family: Beosound Balance. Due to the sound, size and price, we would like to compare this new wireless speaker with one of our best-selling products in the same category, Beosound 2. We will try to clarify the similarities and differences of these two very exciting B&O products. THE DESIGN Needless to say, Beoplay A9 doesn't provide 360 degree sound propagation. I mean, look at it. You don't need a feature like that with it anyway. However, it too allows adjusting the sound according to its room positioning. Ease of use Fortunately, now we have the Spinorama data for a bunch of quite popular speakers. Pierre Aubert put all this untidy data together and put it into https://www.spinorama.org/. This is a stunning source. Pretty valuable stuff from him right there.

Info

If you’re looking for a single-unit, premium wireless speaker for your living room with a built-in google assistant and streaming facilities, the Bang & Olufsen Beosound 1 and Beosound 2 are the two of the fantastic options to look at. While not a deal-breaker, it's a sobering reminder that these are, in fact, consumer products aimed at listening to pleasure first. Not critical listening. So if that is a high priority, do consider this factor. Balance offers different audio experiences in one device. From sound that fills the entire room to directional sound. When raised from the floor and positioned close to the wall, the Beosound Balance delivers precisely controlled beams of sound for a clear audio experience in front of the speaker and rich sound behind the device. The result is an impressively great sound experience compared to its size. This is why Spinorama was apparently groundbreaking news for audio industry. Hence in the mid-late 2010's, most brands and magazines began publishing Spinorama measurements, despite the challenges of making such measurements.
