Bass does not equal quality sound most manufacturers use bass to cover up the terrible quality of their speakers. The Bang and Olufsen sound is so perfectly balanced for the price it puts you right in the music like you’re there.

Not sure about the other speakers but when it comes to the A1, it must be resting on a firm sold platform in order for the base to perform best. Handling them in your hands will affect the outcome a lot. I have the A1 first gen, and all I can say is that every time friends listen to to its sound they just can’t believe that awesome sound quality especially base is coming from such a small speaker.

The bass actually sounds better than the Bose if you ask me. Easily the best most fun speaker in this video’s list. (Flex is also great, better than the jbl and the mono sounding Marshall’s)

Good day. I understand that everyone has a different sense of sound, but still, which is better, whose sound is closer to the original, without exaggerated bass or highs, balanced - emberton2 or bang & olufsen beosound explore or bose flex? It was not possible to listen to marshall and bose at the same time, and in general to listen to bang & olufsen, my feeling is that the flex plays better than the flip6. Or Sony better? Which?

Checked Bose flex soundlink vs Bang Olufsen beosound. Did not spot much differences, correct me. I listen to classical/soft notes mostly

The new A1 out in 7 days. The blue looks really nice

Actually I just got the A1 and I am quite happy. You can not compare it to pure speakers, as it is more a conference device like the Sennheiser SP-30 or the Jabra Speak 510 - with the side effect of a good music playback capatibility. I use it in my office connected to my office PC by USB and to an windows tablet for telephony, signal and webradio by bluetooth. USB has priority, so webradio automaticly stops when a call comes in on my office PC. Quite usefull. As B&O is sort of "designer brand" you sometimes get b-ware with just a little skretch for a reduced price. I paid 149€ for my A1 with a barely visible skratch. However, the sound quality of the Sennheiser SP-30 is also very good (but max sound level is less), and you get it used for about 45-70€ (I use it in homeoffice). The A1 definitly is an eyecatcher. Quite nice for smal video conferences.

With B&O YOU CAN USE THEIR APP TO ADJUST THEIR SOUND ACCORDING TO YOUR LIKING.

One major thing to comment here Danny, everyone who bought the Explore or A1 noticed the sound is not so great out of the box, however, I really recommend you install the app and play with the eq, you'll be amazed what it can do, I would recommend move it between Energetic and high bass! then you can re test it. Trust me, it will worth it.

Ай бұрын

lol they lie alot about there power rating

Where to get them for 200?

Speakers in the air (hanging) near a corner of a room or even just a single wall, increases the bass by a lot! I have the Tribit and Anker speakers that compare to the Flex when positioned as I mentioned. I do not know if keeping the front of the speaker off a flat surface so you do not get any interference from sound reflecting off the flat surface is an issue. It just sounds better if raised up or at least near walls. I put them in wooden boxes when a wall is not available and the very front of the speaker is right up to the edge of box, or any flat surface.

Hi wow, what a detailed request! I've not doubt that you really are looking for the absolute best value for your money and I think I can make a suggestion with a few caveats! Firstly, no speaker will ever be "perfect" when they start becoming crystal clear in one area, they will often lose it in another area but I don't think that's what's totally important because your ears can fill in the gaps if the speaker is good enough and meets the intent of the music. This is why I think for sound quality as a good investment you should look for a Gen 1 Woburn or Stanmore Speaker (not the gen 2s!!) As far as bluetooth and airplay it might be worth looking at the Gen 2 Woburn and Stanmore as they have bluetooth 5.0 which works more seamlessly. I'll be releasing a new video that might answer your question or make it harder. I'll be comparing the Klipsch The Three II & The One II to the Marshall Stanmore and Woburn. Also thanks! I love the green color as well!
