5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful speakers

I love the balance of the sound on this speaker. Unlike the previous versions, this one has bass power and just the right amount of treble and voice quality.

I am not an audiophile, but I do value quality audio and I have a significant investment in home AV. I'm renovating a patio and looking for quality outdoor audio and it does not exist, IMO. I decided to buy this A9 to use on the patio and I could not be happier with the audio quality. I have other outdoor systems with multiple custom speakers and they do not fill the space with the same clarity and bass. It's almost too easy. I realize that the A9 cannot live outside, but for this level of fidelity I'm happy to move it back and forth as needed. I'm considering a second and a third, I'm that pleased with the performance. That said, it's pricey. at $3500 it's painful, but over the years I've spent much much more to try and achieve this level of musical enjoyment poolside and failed. I think I could buy one more and still consider it money well spent, TBD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good sound but bad information.

There was not enough information provided with the speaker. I spend a lot of time getting connected. An app is provided, but I still spent too much time figuring out how to use it properly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound. Expensive. Dated interfaces

Software is much improved compared to older versions. Needs optical input. Sound quality is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!

This is absolutely the best speaker I've ever owned, and probably will ever own. Easy to set up, blue-tooth operation. The sound is absolutely incredible. I was a bit concerned with it being one speaker that I wouldn't get true stereo sound, but that isn't the case at all. The B and O app actually has the speaker "scan" the room and adjusts the sound accordingly. I am hearing the little sounds in songs that you don't typically hear unless you're wearing high-end headphones. You would swear that you have 6 speakers spread throughout the room,...the speaker is across an almost 30' long room and I can hear sounds that come from behind me, in front of me, on both sides of me....I now know what "surround sound" should be, and to have it come from one source sitting in the corner of my room is astounding to me.It's fairly large at about 2' round, but flat enough that it isn't intrusive . It's obvious quality, from the weight to the aesthetic. The linen-look fabric covering is attrative and there are covers you can order (including art) to tie in with your room. I have the gray fabric one, and it's fine in my decor. It's not overly complicated to operate. Plug it in, download the app and operation was practically automatic as long as you know your wifi password.The only thing I could think of for improvement would be to have it receive my Bolo music. Perhaps it would connect if I paid for the music, but it will not broadcast. Spotify works great with it, however., and from my understanding, it will pair with Chromecast or Apple Music.Before getting this item I would have never spent this kind of money on audio equipment, but this may have turned me into a bit of an Audiophile. Simply excellent.

This is the biggest and most amazing speak I have ever owned. It looks beautiful. It sounds beautiful. The power cable itself is a beautiful braided cable. This exudes quality in every way and I love it. The app is a little temperamental, but once it's paired it just sounds so good you don't care anymore. Once I figure the whole thing out this is going to be the main speaker in my house and I'm going to be jamming out all the time.

This is a fantastic-looking speaker that works with my aesthetic. I'm not really an audiophile but I do enjoy music. I also like that this is Bluetooth. Like another reviewer, I'd prefer it if it was integrated with my Bolo Music account.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great! ... but not perfect.

Alright, first thing's first. If you're in the market for a Bang & Olufsen because either money is no object, you have a very high budget, or you have aesthetic and decorative concerns. If you are looking for the highest possible sound quality, with no other concerns, you might consider another option to save money. This high price tag isn't going toward all sound quality. (Though it certainly isn't lacking. More on that in a moment.)Without dragging it out, what are you getting that is unique to the Beosound A9?Beautiful design. This is a unique, and absolutely stunning design. You could put this in any room, and unless you point out that it's a speaker, the average person won't even recognize it without prompting. I tested this with guests. Even with pointing to the room, it took a minute to find the speaker. If you're butting heads with a spouse because you want a gaudy, powerful speaker, and they want something subtle, well... this may just be your middle ground.Build quality. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was that 5-letter country of manufacture. China? Nope. Czech. This looks, and feels, like the sky was the limit on built quality. Everything about it screams TOTL with look and feel. Even sliding your fingers across the metal feels smooth and flawless. It's the luxury car of speakers. Build quality matters. I'm not in the least bit concerned about physical driver or frame failures.Sound quality. Okay, I mentioned earlier that you could spend your money more efficiently if you only care about sound quality. You could get a pair of high-quality tower/floor speakers from reputable brands for half this price. However, I can tell you that these sound about as good as most people could ever tell or would ever need. The bass is almost shockingly deep and rumbly, reaching all but the very lowest registers. I mean 20hz and under. A depth most people will not care about, and very few speakers could ever reach without the help of a subwoofer. Super punchy, and very responsive to the app's EQ. Midrange and treble require no adjustment at all. IF you did decide to adjust the treble, you could. You have quite a broad sweep for both bass and treble in the B&O app. Truly awesome sound quality.And that's with Bluetooth. Which, incidentally, is also the reason for that 1-star deduction.Bluetooth. I considered requesting a replacement for this reason. Still am, actually. However, I've come to the conclusion that this is probably just a shortcoming of these units. One I hope is fixed with firmware. IF, or WHEN you get a stable connection without all the wackiness, it sounds amazing. As good of a Bluetooth connection as you can hope for. However, here's what usually happens: First of all, some devices are requiring me to completely delete and pair again EVERY time I want to listen to the speaker. It'll connect, then disconnect, repeatedly until I completely redo the pairing process. For other devices, like my phone, it will reconnect, but even with the app open I get crazy volume fluctuations. Even when I set the volume default in the app. It seems to totally ignore it and roll a digital dice instead. Sometimes I'll hit play and it'll blow the windows out. I'll scramble to turn it down before my eardrums melt. Other times, I'll question if it's even connected, only to realize the volume is so low I literally can't hear it (even with my phone at 50%). I'll have to get up, walk over to it, and manually turn up the volume. For this price tag, this is hard to swallow. I'm giving B&O the benefit of the doubt that this'll be fixed. Also, once a good connection is established the volume is tuned, you are ready to sit back and enjoy one of the best listening experiences of your life.Should you buy the B&O Beosound A9?Yes... maybe. If one of the first few factors I mentioned are among your primary concerns, this is a stellar option. Possibly a TOTL option for you. It's built like a luxury tank, looks absolutely beautiful and modern, and sounds quite good. Sound your -only- concern? You could do better for the price.For the right person, in the right home, under the right circumstance? Highly recommended.

Sounds great, and looks fantastic
