Wow thanks you are correct - Funny thing B&O shop checked with somebody and they said it was not supported - but the great news is that I now works - so happy - now I just need to get another one for the library - but I can live with that
BS1 v 2 and A9 - interesting

I see the firmware was updated on March 30, 2017:
- Added Sound Settings (bass, treble, loudness and position) which can be accessed via the App product settings
- Improvements on the setup experience via the App
- Fixed issue with some wireless networks that their names contained special characters
- Fixed issue where music would stop playing if two Bluetooth devices were connected at the same time
- Fixed issue where software update might fail sometimes
- Other smaller fixes and improvement
Can anyone comment on how the "sound settings" work? I found the bass overwhelming when I auditioned the unit upon release - but if the equalization works well, I may have to re-test.
You can reduce the bass - but in fact what you can do really is turn off the loudness and this fixes things almost perfectly to my ears. It doesn't work very well with my echo dot though so is relegated to the music room at present until I work out what I am going to do with it!

Thanks!
I'm going back and forth between the BS2 and the A9 - I can't decide! At the moment, the A9 is overkill in my tiny apartment, but overall, the sound is more robust. When I auditioned the BS2, I immediately excluded it over the boomy bass...so now it's back on the table.
In the end there's a $1000 CAD difference between the two after taxes. Hmmmm......
As I told in another post, since the last update the BS2 is almost perfect. Very powerful and not boomy anymore, although I have it in a corner (not the best situation). It's very impressive, clear and loud, small and easy to place with 360° sound, and is aluminium made. I like the feeling when turning the wheel to adjust the sound level. A9 is Beoplay, very nice but not the same design, very big, and for sure more powerful... For my small (20sqm) living room, the BS2 is already more then enough. I tried it to my parents living room (45sqm) and still more then enough according to my taste (and the neighbors too ;-). Good luck for the choice. But anyway you cannot be wrong whatever you will choose.
agree completely, i have both the A9 and the BS2, both excellent products.....personally, i don't use them in a lounge / living area, as i like a bigger room filling sound, but regardless, they are both excellent......and the BS2 i think is really worth the extra money vs the BS1, to my ears anyway......
Much smaller and is a portable speaker. Quite good reviews though.
