Bang & Olufsen Beosound Emerge Wi-Fi Multiroom Speaker, Gold Tone/Light Oak

I saw this advertised online and was so intrigued. I debated buying this but after doing my research, I am very happy with this purchase. It's a bit expensive for a speaker, but you will not be sorry. Not only is it beautiful to look at and is exquisitely made, it sounds like a dream. I bought it to use in my office at work rather than stream music through the computer speakers. My only complaint...the USB-C cable that came with it sucks. After carefully unpacking it from the box, I plugged it in and nothing. My heart sank thinking I was sold a defective unit. It then occurred to me to use another USB-C cable (I used the one from my MacBook Pro) and voila! It turned on. I ordered more USB-C cables from Apple to replenish my supply. That was the hardest part. Set up is very easy via the B&O app and it is very easy to use. I stream via AirPlay and Bluetooth using Apple Music and it sounds and works great. No issues. Highly recommend.

the sound is amazing!!! can really hear the bass.

Was skeptical reading the reviews on Amazon but have always enjoyed B&O products so gave this a chance. Glad I did. It is beautiful, subtle in looks but the sound quality is great.

this speaker has a very unique design that fits almost anywhere It is powered by USB-C power so it offers flexibility and cable management and routing The sound is very directional on the edge of the speaker so you can move it and pointed where you want the sound to go it offers a very clear and natural sound, but is not a bass cannon. if you were looking at B&O you will know they are not cheap. 4 stars because it looks like a router in black I would spring the extra $$ and get the wood variant. It is also hard to find the black models on sale (and available)

I highly recommend these beosound Emerge for people with small spaces or if you would like a simple audio setup for yourself. It Sounds good for its size. It has 3 drivers, 120 Watts total. Comes with a usb charge cable and a charging brick. It has ethernet and a toslink/3.5 aux combination jack if you prefer a wired connection. I got a second one to become stereo or i use them separately for my mac and pc. Comes in 2 finishes. Black and wood. I got the black because its cheaper and the grill is not fabric. You must use the b&o app to set it up and receive updates.

I'll admit, the speaker definitely looks premium and connectivity is easy. The Bang & Olufsen app offers significant customization of treble and bass levels which I appreciate. However, once you get past the premium interface you realize that the audio quality is not the best. Clarity is good but the bass and soundstage are significantly lacking. My 5 year old Bose speaker had significantly more bass capability and filled a room more easily than this. This was disappointing when you consider the price. Would consider keeping this if it was closer to $500 but for this price it definitely went back.

ok 719 dollars in 2024, now 1,500 in 2025. amazon is out of their mind. this is a poor quality speaker. a square looking bose for 100 dollars sounds exactly the same as this unit here. I returned it. not impressed. the app is atrocious and difficult to connect, so I connected straight by bluetooth, the old way. sound is ok but this looks better in photos than in real life (speaking of the design). it wasn't a 700-dollar speaker, the sound wasn't all that, so I returned it. now they try to sell it for 1.5k lol no way

They sound great, great design... but terrible connectivity. you get used to songs stopping in the middle or skipping to the next one.
