Beosound 2 Arrived! Test and Thoughts.

19 replies

Very excited to receive the BS2 during the Thanksgiving, I guess this might be a few of very first models shipped out to customers.

I am a Non-native English speaker, if there are any grammar issues, plz ignore 😁

 

This model is Made In China.

The Aluminum extrusion and quality is pretty good. 

It looks more heavier than it actually does.

 

Sound

Test Sources:

iPhone 6, 7 Plus, iPod Video, Macbook pro

Connection: Bluetooth. My audio cable is on the way, expecting a better sound quality from cable connection(might be).

Test Media (Applelossless to m4a format):

Four season, Hotel California, Hurt by Jonny Cash, Love Train by Wolfmother, What you know by Two Door Cinema Club, Youtube video and music.

Feelings:

On the condition of Volume 70%-100%

Bass is strong. 8/10

If you expect a crystal clear strong bass, this speaker works way much better on the non-electrical bass created by real drum, not the software. Bass from post production like DJ, is ok, not crystal clear.

Acoustic, awesome. 10/10

From mid-range to hi frequency, this speaker does perform a decent job in acoustic music.

Jazz, pretty good. 9/10

Classical, awesome. 10/10

Each instrument on the stage can be clearly distinguished when volume above 60-70%.

Best range for listening: 1-5 meters (at least for me)

 

On the condition of Volume 30%-70%

Bass is a little bit weak. 4/10

Acoustic, good. 6/10 

Jazz, good. 5/10

Classical, awesome. 6/10

If you listen to music in a normal volume or lower, Beoplay A2 or A6 might be a little better on sound performance. BS2 is good for a middle to high volume performance, no matter the size of room and location you place it.


I was struggling between A9 and BS2 before, I would said BS2 is good enough for a normal use, especially the size is easy to move between rooms. And I heard that some of A9 has issue on wireless connection. But both design is pretty good, worth your money.

 

Check my test video below (Four season, volume 70-100%):

Thank you for this review. I was waiting for one since the BS2 is out. Compared to the A6 and A2, how loud can it go?

Thanks - and have fun with your BS2.

P.S. 'The Aluminum extrusion and quality is pretty good.'

No wonder - it was made in Struer!

I would say it's max volume might be 3 times louder than A2. I haven't try A6.

OK... so it's really playing in another league.🤩

I have a question: I am trying to get a Beosound Essence, does that sold separately from hideway box? Or it's a bundle?

Hi,

If you're talking about the BS Essence "remote", yes, it's sold separately.

Today I had a day shopping tour in Paris and I could play a bit with the 2 newborn toys. 1st I imagined them smaller than they are (but it's not a problem). Both are impressive and nice sounding. For me the BeoSound 2 is much better : more powerful, more 'round' sound with better mediums, and according to my taste, better design with the medium speakers grid. I don't like very much the brass color.

When I entered the shop, I was impressed because I couldn't locate where from the music was coming... And it was from the BS2!

I went to listen to them and wasn't impressed - the BS1 sounded as expected, an nice bluetooth speaker. The BS2, while much nicer and fuller, sounded extremely "boomy", like a bass-boost thing a teenage boy would buy. I'm assuming it was mostly due to the setting (on a granite kitchen-countertop, near a corner). I look forward to hearing it in a different setting.
