I have   pair an Essence remote to  my Beoplay M5.

It works like clockwork. I am really pleased  🙂😁🙂

That very good news, it was on my wishlist.

Now tone controls, to get rid of that booming bass at low volume's.

I'm a bit puzzled that there continues to be no in-app equalization for this device (aside from the wall/corner switch). The bass really is too strong - I hope B&O reads these forums!

it's in the BeoPlay app, BeoHut.

 this is my first B&O product ever  and I have to say upon receiving it yesterday I have been underwhelmed.  I find this sound of the M5 to be very flat and almost muddy out of the box.  you may have already tried this, but utilizing your Spotify equalizer is one way to immediately lower the bass  and for my preferences, increasing the highs. 

 I was definitely frustrated that there were no total controls on downloading the app yesterday, and I must say that the set up complaints that many others have had weee true for me as well ( it read that the update had failed multiple times) 

 I ultimately decided to choose the M5 after being able to sample the Sonos 5 in store and feeling these exact feelings about it;  it sounded flat.   The Zeppelin that I sampled it sounded absolutely incredible but I hate the design. The reviews  that I have read to date have been extremely positive, so I am holding out hope that tinkering with the set up and the placement of the speaker today will produce some different results, but I must say it is very disappointing to feel underwhelmed upon purchase of a $600 speaker.  clearly, the tonal adjustments within the app need to be expedited immediately to allow us to push down the bass response, and be able to adjust the equalizer. as it stands, even the A2  I sampled at the Apple store sounded better at the moment  😔

Indeed - my ears couldn't detect any significant differences in the overall sound quality for open vs. wall vs. corner, but I did detect the bass decrease.  

I'm certainly going to give the M5 a proper test run, just wish that I didn't have the deflated feeling upon the first test :-)

Does anyone have any experience in with the cross-shop options (Sonos Play 5 or other options?).  I realize of course this is a B&O forum, but just curious if we can all be objective about the other options in this space (i.e., the $500 - $1,000 standalone multi-room / bluetooth speaker market).

I don't consider myself an audiophile, but at the moment, my Vizio Soundbar which was $250 quite frankly has a richness and highs that quite frankly sound much more pleasing to my subjective ears (I tend to be a high treble, low mid, medium base EQ guy) than the M5.  Jacking up the high frequency on Spotify helped but I believe that it's "cleaner" to have your apps play through clean (no EQ adjustment) while having your speaker make the EQ adjustments (thus my desire to quickly have some sort of tonal adjustment through the Beo app)...any luck with reaching out to the app creators on this kinda stuff?!

i think many of the B&O one point speakers are thought to be bass heavy to varying degrees.......the new BeoLit 17 is similar i believe, so this may be common to the BeoPlay speakers, especially the newer ones (guess that's what the market wants?)........their BeoLab active left / right speakers don't have this characteristic, they are much more balanced, and generally fabulous .........anyway, that seems to be the feeling i read on this forum..........that said, the A9 and the newer BeoSound 2, both of which i have are not too strong on bass, though more expensive........
