Nice balanced sounding portable Bluetooth speaker!
By Daniel M. Fidanze on Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2025
This is a really nice sounding speaker, particularly if you buy two of them and use them as a stereo pair, which is super easy to do on the app. Nice and small and portable. These are now my travel speakers, as they’re easy to pack, especially if you buy a case to fit them. Cases are easily found on Amazon for about $15. They’re sound great indoors, and are also really nice for small outdoor gatherings. However, these are not speakers for a big party- they just don’t get that loud ( rated at 92 dB). One other thing I would warn about- don’t leave them near an edge of a counter or table! The woofer is on the bottom and the vibration will cause them to move across a flat surface . My one complaint is they should have given them some sort of rubberized feet to prevent this. In the picture you can see I have them on pot holders. That’s because on my metal table, you can hear unwanted vibrations. I would recommend making sure you have them on a solid wood table or a countertop. If you set them on metal or near the edge of a surface, be sure to use a rubberized pad of some sort under them to make sure they don’t vibrate themselves right off the edge. With that simple precaution, you get a great sounding, clear, crisp sounding speaker with a nice balanced bass presence that is easy to bring in the yard, or throw in your carry on for travel

Speaker FAILED 3 days outside the 30 day return window.
By Peter on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2023
It's not often when I feel like a purchase is just a mistake. This is one of those times. I trusted Bang & Olufsen brand to not only sound great but to be high quality and for them to support their products. After purchasing 2 of these so I could have a "stereo pair", I shouldn't have purchase either. To be clear (pun intended), the speakers sound great! The Bluetooth connectivity to configure the stereo pair is clunky and has to be re-set every time you use them. Not the end of the world but not what I would expect from B&O. The issue I have is that one of the speakers FAILED 3 days outside the 30 day return window at Amazon. Again, NOT what I would expect from a premium B&O product. But I could almost live with this too. What I couldn't live with is that after 45 min on the phone wit Bang & Olufsen and their tech support determining that the speaker was faulty after 3 uses and owning it for 33 days, THEY NEED A FULL MONTH to do an inspection and determine whether or not the speaker should be replaced? Seriously? I've owned it for a month and your tech just said it is defective. Now I have to go back to send it back to you for another month to look at it? Not OK. Failures and quality issues happen. We understand that. But we'll be sticking with companies that stand behind their products in meaningful ways and don't put their customers in the middle of their manufacturing issues in the future. If you get a speaker that works, you'll like the sound. If you get one that fails, you're in for a long ride.
