Thanks for the input. Did you try connecting them using a wired connection instead of wireless? I have an iMac so I plan on doing that. 

@kimchr

which OS were you using?

Have you had any other USB-based speakers/DAC connected to the Mac before using the S3's?

MM

The Mac is an "early 2015" running OS X (10.10.5). For the record it is also paired with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

This morning I tried with my Samsung 6S Edge I received a few days ago. It has now played audio from youtube through the two S3s for half an hour without a single hickup in true wireless. I can't just the sound quality but connection seems very good. 

My previous Samsung S4 mini I was not able to connect at all. Same goes with my to Android based tabs. So it seems we now hav one device that connects to the speakers and that's a start.

As far as I can see all Macbook Pro models since mid-2012 have Bluetooth 4.0.

Does that mean, that you had it/the master speaker connected via Bluetooth from the Mac - and not hooked up via USB?

MM

Yes, Bluetooth only. Everything within 1 meter. After my success with the Samsung S6 I listened alot more during the last couple of days. Samsung is still rock steady. MacBook is playing Spotify Premium with occasional hick-ups but alot better than my inital experience.

I heard from another Macbook Pro owner that his S3 were working very nicely.

Had the same problem with my Pro Retina. You should try resetting Pram, after I did that I have not had any problems with any bluetooth device. "Shut down your Mac, press the power button, and as soon as you hear the startup chime, hold down Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding down those keys until you hear a second startup chime. Then let go and allow your Mac to continue starting normally."  

Hi guys, this is my first post. Really enjoyed reading this discussion thread last night and ended up staying way too long :) Let's bring back some life to this thread ;)

I was in a B&O Store yesterday and had a chance to listen to two wirelessly paired S3 speakers and left with a big smile on my face. I am about to buy the speakers but was wondering if you received any updates in terms of functionality or any statement from B&O as to the timeline of updates. In particular I am interested in having the optionality to have the speakers connected wirelessly while using the line in connection. Dave, are there any updates on this?

Also, I wanted to ask where best to buy the speakers. I am currently in Germany but generally live in the UK. Has anyone come across a deal/ price recently? The best deal I have come across is in the UK for GBP 200 per speaker. Should I go for this?

Thanks!!! 

I brought a pair on ebay uk for £149 each, they arrived at argos yesterday and picked them up in the evening. They are factory sealed and a very quick test and they sound amazing for there size.

I was not going to buy any more speakers as not sure where they will go, but for halfthe price I could not resist. I do feel sorry for dealers who can not compete with this offer, The company (Foniacs) had sold over 50 speakers already.

wow! that's an amazing deal, thanks for sharing :)
