Bang & Olufsen Beosound 2 (2nd Generation) Portable Wireless Speaker - Natural Aluminium

Product Information

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. Beosound 2 is also a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connected speaker, which allows you to stream via AirPlay 2, Chromecast or Bluetooth, but unlike Beosound Balance, Beosound 2 also offers streaming via Bang & Olufsen Multiroom which gives you the possibility to use the Bang & Olufsen app to start your music via Deezer or radio via TuneIn, as well as touch to join if you have multiple Bang & Olufsen multiroom products in your home installation.

Beosound 2: Received a complete revision in 2017. This is the most recent model of Beosound 2 on B&O's web-store. 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. Beosound Balance offers an incredibly powerful and voluminous sound. With a total of 7 amplifiers and 7 driver units, Beosound Balance will deliver a powerful, dynamic yet sophisticated sound experience for larger living rooms. The primary user interface is located on a disc-shaped surface on the top of the speakers. This is where you access to power on/off, activate voice control for Google assistance, and volume control.

People who consider the world their home shouldn't be restricted from true Bang & Olufsen solutions. Because it turns out that in the mid 90's, Electrical Engineer PhD Floyd Toole came up with a method called Spinorama. This is exactly what he accomplished with this. Turns out that his book Sound Reproduction is like the bible of audiophiles. After all, B&O is always a safe bet when it comes to sound quality - especially with high-end products like these two.

BeoSound 2 Review: Powerful and impressive - Tech Week

Beoplay A9 is able to crank out much stronger sound output (almost TWICE as much as Beosound 2) and it also looks prettier to most ( this Nordic Ice Kvadrat color is especially liked by many - including me) Beosound Balance and Beosound 2 are designed to fit anywhere. The days of wanting to try and hide your large stereo system are over. No matter where you place Beosound Balance and Beosound 2, they will look beautiful and elegant. But the expression of the two products is very different.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

Beosound 2 vs Beoplay A9: Key Points (Oct 2023) Beosound 2 vs Beoplay A9: Key Points (Oct 2023)

BeoSound 2 was discontinued by 2011. It was not replaced by any other product. BeoSound 2 (2002-2011) technical specifications 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. Beosound 2 also offers an absolutely stunning sound. Using our Acoustic Lens Technology, the tapered speaker creates a 360-degree sound image that fills the entire room wherever you place it. The acoustic lens spreads the high frequencies of the sound in a horizontal range to cover a wider listening area while reducing floor and ceiling reflections. If you move around the room, you will find that Bang & Olufsen sound remains unchanged. The lens is beautifully crafted in extruded aluminum. Carefully processed and acoustically well thought out. The source code under Pierre Aubert's work is licensed under GPL (General public license). He didn't perform any of the measurements himself, and instead he compiled all of them into one place, so that makes sense. 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.The colormap provides you the locations with the best (green) and worst (red) listening experience.

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 Moving on, as mentioned earlier into the post, Beoplay A9 produces stronger sound output than the Beosound 2. Internal batteries lasted for up to ten hours, quite a low number of user hours by anyone’s standards nowadays. Beosound Balance has also been equipped with “Active Room Compensation”, which ensures that your Beosound Balance not only looks good, but also sounds good. The technology comes from the creation of our proudest speaker to date, Beolab 90. Reflections from furniture and wall surfaces affect the room’s acoustic properties and distort the sound of your speakers. The Active Room Compensation technology analyzes your room with an internal microphone and creates a set of custom filters that compensate for these reflections. The result is perfect, tailored sound in all your favorite listening positions.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 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.
