I actually had a demo on this exact model at the SoHo location in NYC. The sound is very clear, and the bass is so powerful that it literally shakes the ground and makes anyone flinch from the bass. Looking forward to purchasing this amazing speaker in the future soon!

Hey John, pretty late to the party, but do you maybe know if the Beosound 2 comes with an aptx Bluetooth driver? So when I'd connect my laptop via bluetooth to the speaker and play a video that the sound will be in sync with the video? I have the Beoplay M5 and it doesn't come with aptx driver and therefore you can play a video on your laptop but the sound will be delayed by 1 second more or less on the speaker. Was kinda disappointed by that, since it's not a cheap product and I expected in that range to be aptx on board. I only use my M5 now via Airplay since connecting to it via Chromecast/Cast I get constant lags and problems (even sent it in but they said it's working as intended...) Happy New Year and Thanks for your video!

Hi John, thanks for your videos they are very informative. I have a question for you and it may sound silly but here goes. I have an A9 wall mounted in my living room. Of course the sound is beautiful but you really need to sit in front of it to get the full experience. I'm looking for an excuse to buy the Beosound 1 and thought it may work in conjunction with the A9 to help in spreading music around the room if placed in a strategic location and by using the multi room link? The A9 would still be the main system and provide the bass and the Beosound 1 would enchance the ambience.What do you think?
@BangOlufsenManchester7 жыл бұрын
That would work if you want a larger spread of music in different parts of the room. I would highly recommend you listen to BeoSound 2 first though, it's sound quality is far superior to BeoSound 1. John

John, what do you think about beosound 2 philosophy? Bang Olufsen names bs1 and bs2 as “flexible living” speakers. I get about the bs1 but why they think bs2 meets that phrase? Is it light and meant to be easily moved from one room to another? Looking forward to buy it. Thanks! Sam
@BangOlufsenManchester5 жыл бұрын
Hi Sam, BeoSound 1 is classed as portable because of it's battery. BeoSound 2 is movable because it's easy to pick up and just needs mains power and wireless to work. I suppose it's called flexible as it's not hard wired in like a pair of speakers (BeoLab 17/18/20 etc) with a BeoSound Core that would only ever stay where it was installed. Hope this helps, John

A9 has a much larger cabinet with an 8" dedicated bass driver and bigger power amplifiers, it's also has a reflex port where the A2 is sealed. A2 is very tight and controlled, A9 will fill a much larger space and has deeper, more powerful bass response.

You're welcome. BeoSound 1 doesn't sound quite as good as BeoPlay A6 in my opinion due to it's smaller size, but it makes up for it with portability thanks to it's battery. BeoSound 2 is comparable to BeoPlay A6 in terms of performance, it depends what you need. BeoPlay A6 is stereo with 2 sets of drivers, BeoSound 2 is a 360 mono speaker, both sound excellent and have very different designs. Best thing is to go and have a listen and see what you prefer.

Hello, Im sorry about the question, but I have to ask. How does the sound quality of the BeoSound 2 compare to the Zeppelin Wireless for example or the Naim Mu-So? Im choosing between this speakers and a comment will be very useful to me, to decide.
@BangOlufsenManchester7 жыл бұрын
Miguel Silva that's ok, I'll always try to answer questions. I personally prefer BeoSound 2 over the Zeppelin, I quite liked the B&W, like most of thier stuff it's well made and sounds good, it was a tiny bit bottom heavy and slightly muddy in comparison for me. BeoSound 2 sounded cleaner. I can't speak for the Naim as I've never heard the Mu-So, I've heard good things about it though. I can tell you that a customer bought BeoSound 2 from us recently, he chose it over the Mu-So and BeoPlay A6. Try them all out if you can and let me know what you pick. I can highly recommend the BeoSound 2 though, it sounds really good and looks the business. John.

Thanks a lot. Since my job had me moving from one city to another I can't have a designated room for audio inside my house by now. So I understand the Beosound 2 is design to mobility and adapts to the environment, I think is the best option for me.

I have both and I can say that if you listen at low volumes and do not care about the stereo image, Beosound 2 seems more pleasing to the ears, warmer and cleaner, the Beolab 18 exaggerates in the highs and hides the Mid-bass making a somewhat strange acoustic presentation, Beosound 2 is perfectly tuned but lacks the power and definition of Beolab 18. The two are for very different proposals, but I definitely recommend Beosound 2 for background music. I hope I have helped!
