Hi from Portugal.

I bought mine from amazon prime for 224€, excelent speakers.

I have them wired connect to a sony android tv but when i turn off my tv, the main speaker after a while turns on and starts making a humming sound, what can i do?

I tried connecting them only by bluetooth, but for some reason my dumb tv doesn´t recognize them.  

Sorry for my english, i´m a bit rusty.

I hope it's ok that I reply to quite an old thread.

I've been having what you call The Standby Issue, but only when I'm using the 3.5mm line cable. I've contacted B&O Play about it and they've been very helpful so far. This morning I received notice that the R&D team is working on an update which will include an option to turn off automatic standby mode.

I hope that we'll get to see the new update soon and it will resolve problems with the S3 a lot of people here seem to share with me.

Any news with firmware update?

I haven't heard anything since they informed me they were working on an update. I've actually returned my speakers today, but if I hear anything from B&O, I'll post about it here.

Looks like I need to do the same, because this waiting is killing me...

Btw, did you have any problems to return the speakers?

because they complaining now how is already more then 30 days from purchase...

I created support ticket at 6.december 2017 and we still didn't fix the problem.

This is my second B&O product, the "cheapest one" but probably the last one. Hate such stuff, when I have to contact support service for xx times and later listening stories about refund... 

Just got a pair today and have tested them briefly at work — every function (BT pairing, wireless stereo over BT or USB, daisy-chained multi-speaker) has worked fine for me, tried all the different connection methods (USB+wireless, BT+wireless, USB+wired, and 100% wired) and noticed some weird things as mentioned before.

• USB+wireless/wired sounds off, one channel is noticeably different, not sure if it's just volume or if it is also lacking treble/detail. I also heard pops/clicks regularly over USB.

• BT+wireless sounds weird and hollow with low audio volume from my iMac (late 2014), but great from my iPhone (6S+).

• 100% wired has so far worked as expected, sounds balanced and great.


I really wish they worked as intended on the USB/BT wired/wireless modes, but my intentions where to use them with a HiFiBerry DAC+ setup for Airplay, so I hope that will work fine for my use at home.

Cool review! 

Very cool to see. Thank you very much

Sound is pretty good too!
