New Wireless Speaker Beosound A5?
in BeoSound · Mar 3, 2024 16:02I did some testing today. Something I wasn't aware of, being relatively new to the Apple world, is that AirPlay delays video streams to sync with the audio. So while there is a high latency of almost three seconds for th…
New Wireless Speaker Beosound A5?
in BeoSound · Dec 17, 2023 16:42Hi Alex, Yes, the latency issue is only there when they are paired in stereo. I presume it's necessary for the left/right syncing. If I connect a single A5 via Bluetooth, I don’t notice any latency. I’m curious as to you…
New Wireless Speaker Beosound A5?
in BeoSound · Dec 16, 2023 17:38Hey Alex, I have a couple of these that I use mostly with my phone. To answer your question: it does enhance the experience, and there are drawbacks. I would say that if you like the sound of a single one, you’ll like th…

How To Clean Beoplay S3 Covers?
in BeoPlay · May 7, 2022 11:13This may be a silly question, but I'm wondering how to clean the covers/grilles on my Beoplay S3s. They've got a little grubby and having a toddler running about the house hasn't helped. I feel like they need a good soak…

in BeoLab · Apr 25, 2022 21:03Thanks both. There are quite a few studio monitors available in this sort of price range, as well as the KEF LSX. Do you think the Beolab 3 can compete in terms of detail? I'm also keen to know what sort of SPL the BL3 a…

in BeoLab · Apr 24, 2022 12:10Hi guys, I'm looking to replace my Beoplay S3 stereo pair with something that sounds better and also doesn't have the ridiculously aggressive power-saving settings (the S3 goes to sleep after around 10 seconds of inactiv…
Beoplay S3 - Fantastic Speakers with Massive Flaw (Power Saving)
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 8, 2020 19:10I have an update to this: I managed to get the left speaker to stay awake! However, I don't know how I managed this, and the right speaker still takes a few seconds to wake. This happened after I decided to reconfigure t…

in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 4, 2020 21:04Thanks for confirming. I have contacted support and I appear to be going through the warranty thing with them at the moment (serial numbers, date & proof of purchase etc.), so we'll see if anything comes from it. It woul…
