Review on 🎡 Ultimate Multiroom Audio System: Bang & Olufsen Beosound Stage Soundbar & Beosound Balance Speaker by Jason Lockwood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful speaker with stunning sound

I've always been a big fan of Bang and Olufsen and also have some of the brand's speakers so I'll just rank them by what I have (including an Apple Homepod for the Perspective) ) with different aspects: Sound field: A9 4th generation > Beosound Balance > A9 MKI > Beosound Stage > HomePod > A6Bass: Beosound Stage > A9 4th generation > A9 MKI > Beosound Balance > A6 = HomePodMidhigh Range (piano, vocals, etc.) .) ) A9 Gen 4 > Beosound Balance > A9 MKI > A6 > HomePod > Beosound Stage Inheriting Bang & Olufsen's excellent design, this speaker brings an appeal to your home decor with its appearance. I bought the gold version and when I received it it was a little different from the picture and showed a really nice rose gold tone, similar to the rose gold color of the iPhone (oddly enough when I tried to take a picture of the picture only shows the golden color :/) . I've used it primarily for Apple Airplay and if you have an A6 you know there's a significant lag after streaming music to the speaker. Well, not on Beosound Balance. The connection was almost instantaneous and I didn't experience any lag or lag in my experience. In terms of sound, I see the target group for this speaker very clearly. If you like the amazing sound field and crisp mids of the Beoplay A9 but have a small room then this is definitely your choice. The bass has a twist too, in fact I was surprised when I first heard it that it was able to produce very detailed yet powerful bass. Unlike the Beosound Stage, where the bass just blows you away like a tornado, this music speaker focuses more on consciously showing you all the low-end details. About 60% volume is more than enough for a bedroom, and turning on the speaker doesn't cause sound distortion. In summary, the Beosound Balance is a great speaker, a cheap (not really) replacement for the Bang and Olufsen A9, and a beautifully designed piece of furniture. BTW IF YOU HAVE PETS DO NOT BUY THIS BECAUSE THE COVER CANNOT BE REPLACED!
