Emerge pairing only via google app. A no go

No TuneIn... also a no go

I don’t understand this.
You can BT pair them or pair them via GVA, also through GVA you still have tune in

How do you BT-pair them? Is that fixed and resulting in stereo?

BT is crap.

I don’t want an gva model.
Emerge vs M3

Thanks to the B&O Experience app

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Miki is saying you can use BT to set up the pairing if you can't use GVA, not use BT for music........

About TuneIn.  I could not find any TuneIn station not supported by B&O Radio.  I checked about 25, even though I listen to, at most, 10.  I also found stations on B&O Radio not on TuneIn.  As mentioned above, you can still get TuneIn with GVA.

That being said, I do have problems with certain TuneIn stations that GVA can't find.  For example,  when I ask for "Radio Paradise Rock Mix", it plays either Radio Paradise or Paradise Rock.  When I ask for all different permutation of WLIR (which recently changed its name to DARE FM), Google can never find.  Both of these are TuneIn favorites in the app.

The nice thing about the Mozart platform is you can program the my buttons to a B&O Radio station without GVA being involved.  Therefore, I could assign these stations to a button - something I can't do with my BV1 GVA (although I don't remember if WLIR is on B&O Radio, it probably is).

Am I the only one who wants to hide these small speakers away from sight and integrate them into kitchen cabinettes or walls?

The speaker isn’t bad but I wish B&O could also do a integration model smart speaker for smaller areas.

Hi Guys

I did a fast video - where you can listen to the BeoSound Emerge Vs. BeoPlay M3

Which of them would you choose?

Thank you for the comparison. I have to tell that I'm a bit disappointed as the Emerge doesn't seem much better than the M3 but twice the price... For the design I would choose the Emerge as I never liked the M3, but again, I don't know if I would push the trigger...
