Bang & OlufsenBeosound Level - Wireless Portable WiFi and Bluetooth Speaker, Splash and Dust Resistant, First Ever Cradle to Cradle Certified Circular Speaker, Up to 16 Hours Battery - Gold Tone/Wood

Sounds Awesome and the build quality is exquisite!Only thing I would improve is the app witch is a bit slow other than that,It's AMAZING!!!If you want the best portable speaker that does it All look NO feather 🥳

This is a well-designed speaker with a great sound. Bluetooth and Airplay 2 connectivity are excellent and the replaceable rechargeable battery is good feature - providing replacements remain available for years to come.

Beosound Level speakers: At only 4.5 litres they have a surprising good bass. They can replace full size speakers in a hi-fi stereo set up.If you power up several Mozat (Balance, Emerge, Level) speakers and select a streaming service (internet radio) the playback can be delayed 15 seconds or longer. The app allows all the speakers or speaker pairs to sync multi-room to a single pair.Emerge or Level? The Level is twice the price, more bass and more drive units. The Level is stereo in one box but then a pair of Beosound Emerge give better sound stage. They do sound very much the same, same driver units, same Mozart engine. If in multi-room the Emerge adds to the sound stage of the Level. The Level is fully portable, the Emerge is mains only.DLNA is provided to select from audio stored on a computer (that runs a DLNA server like Windows Media Player). The app looses the server (possibly a Microsoft problem). Google Assistant and/or app crash needing re-installing. The Level will at times lock up. This requires the battery to be removed as the off switch is also locked out. If you take one of a pair of Levels into another room and it looses contact with the second speakers it can lock pairing out - remove battery to reset! Problems are rare.YouTube reviewers suggested that a future update would enable them to be used in a surround sound system. The problem being the long delay (330ms) when watching video possibly due to the DSP processing in them. Other manufacturers including many at a lower price point have been able to use their speakers with both computers and television with acceptable lip sync.They are marketed as a life style speaker.Audio over wifi (no compression) is clearly better than it is over Bluetooth. It will work using Windows Music Player but with limited audio only codecs. Watching YouTube over Bluetooth has a 330ms delay. The Chrome browser extension to cast does not adjust the delay - at least I have not got it to work. Using VLC has some control but not easy to adjust and when seeming okay at the start of the film drifts out soon after.I wrote to B&O support and this is the response:-"Connection to Windows computer:· Only able to playback via wireless through Chromecast but only works for single speaker option.· If you would like to play from stored files from PC to your Beosound Level, it can only be done via Bluetooth and Lip sync issue will be present as this speaker is intended for music source.Connection for surround setup:· These speakers are not designed for surround setup."Alternatives, yes, but with other limitations or issues : Any speakers with WiSA but Beolab 28 are 18l and cost over £10000. KEF LSX II (6.7l) and LX 50 (19l) wireless as stereo to computer and television work. Still don't upscale to 5.1. Devialet Phantoms originally had poor lip sync but an operating system update eventually reduced that to an acceptable level. No user upscale to 5.1 (5.5, possible and some owners have added components to achieve that). B&W Formation Flex can be used as rear speakers to the B&W Bar and Bass for surround but possibly need the box Formation Audio.The Beosound Level is a very capable speaker on its own or as a pair. Being able to run for over 16 hours on battery and loud enough for all but the largest of spaces. It does drain power on standby even if switched off (unplug it). Switched on from cold it has to find the network and login, so not instantly re-booting.
