Hi everyone, thank you for watching once again and i hope you like the video?! This is one of the toughest reviews I have done in a while, they're so close and both are wonderful in my opinion. in the end a lot of it depends on your own use case and weather or not you want to be a bit more flashy or more subdued. So what do you guys listen to most? Let me know in the comments :D

Like you said in your video review, heavy hitting music tend to make the M5 move from its position when played at high volume. Having said that, i quite understand. Personally, i like pop , r n b, naija music and some form of new age and instrumental music. I actually thought b & o has a purpose built stand for the M5. But, however it is, a known issue always has a solution. Thanks for your effort.

@@albertokito yeah at mild to medium volume it'll be fine, but crank it and both of you will dance. but it's fixable, it just should come out of the box ''fixed'' imo. The sound signature is so nice on the M5, I love it but lack space :p

I just received the M5 speaker today and I am absolutely blown away. I'm listening to songs I've had for ages in a different way now, coming from (Bose sound link 3) and if anyone is looking to buy it based off on sound quality alone this will not disappoint you. I am pleasantly surprised.

With all the praises given to Beoplay M5. No one mentioned that this speaker is NOT meant for TV's external speaker!! There are 4 setbacks if you want to use it for TV external speaker; 1) when paired by Bluetooth, there will be a delay in sync with the video from the TV. Also the TV will pause due to interruption from the surrounding. 2) When Bluetooth is disconnected (TV switched off) there will be an irritating "dang-dang" chime from M5, until the next pairing. 3) You can connect this M5 speaker by optical/analogue input from the TV but there is no volume control from the TV's remote control. Volume control is by turning the top of M5. 4) M5 takes about 2 minutes to boot up, therefore you need to switch on M5 before the TV's.

Hello, I work for B&O. We know about the vibration issue on the M5. Just hook it up via the app and set it up to Wall (-3dB) or Corner mode (-6dB).
@Mikipedia4 жыл бұрын
I understand the suggestion, but just release firmware that makes it standard like that, it's been like this for ever. I am also unsure how that would impact the sound signature as you'll be taking out a fair bit of bass?!

Alejandro Hernández-León excellent, you might be able to answer a question I have... Can the M5 speaker be used as left and right speakers in a television setup? I am considering purchasing a Sony A9 Master series where the screen is the speaker. So the screen can act as a centre. Also, if you can do this can the M5's then be used as pure music speakers with the tv off? I'll also be purchasing a Apple TV as well if that means anything. Thank you.

The Beosound 1 was updated not all that long ago with google voice assistent and other upgrades. What would you need them to be updated for? There will be newer products as some point obviously but I don't know if those will replace these or will be in addition to these.

Miki... thanks for your review. But, it seems like you cannot really fully decide on where you stand about the two products. Actually, you should have just picked one. However, i think I like the M5 though. Anyways, thanks....
@Mikipedia4 жыл бұрын
I can't and can, it's a hard one. If the Beoplay M5 was heavier and didn't vibrate what ever it would sit on a high volumes it would've been the clear winner. The Beosound 1 is stunning though :D

It’s the speaker that is ‘dancing’. Not the table resonating. Meaning increase the weight somehow and the dancing will stop.

both would help obviously, but if I put my own weight on the table the resonating stops. So it's both really, but other speakers don't do it on the same table.
