PULSE FLEX 2i

This product does a few things that are hard to live without once you have them. By far, my favorite is the fact that there are physical preset buttons. The ability to enjoy 5 different presets (Internet radio station, tidal playlist, etc) is a game changer. I'm sick of having to use my cell phone for everything. Walk up, hit a button and you're jamming. No phone required. I travel a lot for work and am often staying in an air b&b for extended period. I absolutely love that I can pair these as a stereo pair and use them as main monitors for the TV using optical or aux cable. Or, I can grab one and take it out to the patio . Sound quality is very, very good for their size. They hit above their weight class for sure with good mid-range, acceptable base, and clear highs. Bonus points in stereo configuration as your output is doubled, more than adequate. I'm an audiofile with Arcam, Focal, and other high end gear, I know good audio. These do not disappoint from a sound delivery perspective, especially as my travel system. I have a Bluesound node vault back at home and really enjoy the system. These fit right in as system extenders when I'm home. Only downside is that BlueOS doesn't support YouTube music or Google Cast. They do however support Tidal connect so I can steam my tidal library without needing Bluetooth. I'm really impressed with these and really recommend them.

This speaker was easy to hookup to my network. Using Roon to play music through the Pulse Flex 2i. Sound just OK at start up. Sounds a little crunchy on the high end. I am going to follow the advice of another reviewer and play music without interruption for a day or two. If the sound settles down to a smoother state, I will be happy. It's a rare speaker or headphone that doesn't have improved sound after running for awhile. If it doesn't improve enough, I will return it. If this works out sound wise, it's a great deal with streamer, dac, amp and speaker all in one tidy package.

I have had a Bluesound Node 2i for a long time and picked this up with the battery pack to take my FLAC collection out on to the patio. (It is NOT weather proof! I have a covered patio!) The setup was simple. Similar to the Node 2i, it really just worked. The Bluesound app is a joy to engage with. The sound is what you want from an expensive self-contained speaker. It doesn't compare to a full stereo rack and never will. But it is still quite good. Nice separation, nice volume, bass...exists. You can purchase two of them and sync them so that you can actually listen to them in stereo. That seems like something you might consider spending money elsewhere on, though. Someone else's review mentioned a delay when using BlueTooth. I have not had that experience. I routinely use this to watch baseball and football games from my tablet while connected over Bluetooth and it works well. There are instances when I leave it in sleep mode for an extended period that it needs a couple minutes to cycle through it's startup routine to connect to the network. But it gets there and it works just like it is supposed to. Just to list things off, you can use this speaker to connect via wifi to your network MP3/FLAC collection, AirPlay, Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, MQA, Napster, Qobuz, Radio Paradise, and numerous others as well as a BlueTooth connection. I've been using this regularly for about half a year and am still truly enjoying the speaker and the app.

Just silly good for the size it is! I use it in my bedroom. It's not my "big" stereo in the living room of course... but my big stereo cost a WHOLE lot more than this little guy. I listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks, you name it... and the speaker does great with all of it. In honor of my buddy, I've listened to Motorhead on it at a pretty decent volume level, and it does Lemmy justice. It's not 10 or 12k worth of speakers and components, but that is what living rooms are for! You might be able to do better for less money, but Bluesound is a player in the higher end stereo market and I'm confident that any issues will be taken care of and that they will be in business next week. You might be able to get a similar speaker that's twice as big for the same money, but it's likely made by a fly by night company with less than stelar quality. And if you happen to own other Bluesound products, I'm sure the integration with them is great.

Bought a pair of these to use in our living area as part of a multi-room Roon setup. Set-up was simple and seamless, and was able to assign left and right stereo channels in BluOs app without any trouble. Played a few tracks of various genres and was very underwhelmed. Passable bass response but the mids and the highs were abrasive to my ears and left a lot to be desired — spent some time playing with EQ settings, but could not get these things to sound good. These are okay speakers if you just want something to easily play your Spotify tracks as you’re doing the dishes, but if you’re looking for good fidelity, look elsewhere. Mine are going back.

This is a superb active speaker. Out the box, plug in, download their app. The speaker then connects faultlessly to my network, downloads updates and is ready! I use roon, and roon finds the device immediately and 10 minutes after the Amazon delivery driver hands me the box I've got lovely sound from the speaker. Clear and full. Loud enough for a big room. I am delighted. The only suggestion I have for Bluesound is... With three power cables I can plug in in three regions, but It would be nice to have white cables with the white speaker. The black cable is a bit in your face against the bright white.

Konnte das Gerät direkt mit einem Sonos One SL vergleichen. Der Sonos klingt deutlich dünner. Das liegt vermutlich an der kleineren Bassmembran. Der Bluesound überzeugt bei fast allem was man abspielt. Nur bei basslastigen Songs sollte man auf höhere Lautstärken verzichten, weil er dort spürbar an seine Grenzen kommt. Wenn man das via EQ nachjustiert geht aber auch das. Ich nutze den Lautsprecher mit Roon. Ein quasi perfektes Gespann.

Premessa 🎶 Solitamente le dimensioni contano, ma in questo caso direi proprio di no: questo piccolo gioiello tecnologico sprigiona una potenza e una grinta davvero incredibili (Sempre tenendo conto della tipologia dell'articolo). E' ovvio che non può sostituire impianti di dimensioni e prezzi maggiori, ma in un bagno o in una cucina per me è ideale. Pro ⬆️ Configurazione semplicissima tramite l'ottima applicazione Blue OS: effettuata con iPad in pochi minuti. Aggiornamento firmware immediato. Possibilità di gestire la musica da una vasta gamma di fonti: cellulare, PC, NAS, servizi streaming. Gestisce i file MQA di Tidal senza nessun problema, e la qualità del suono è davvero elevata. Grande potenza per un diffusore così piccolo. Ottimo suono. Facile da trasportare. Contro ⬇️ La superficie in gomma del rivestimento mette un pò in risalto la polvere. 🚚 Consegnato in anticipo rispetto a quanto previsto. 📦 Imballo perfetto. Assolutamente uno dei migliori diffusori della sua categoria che ho avuto il piacere di ascoltare. Consigliato!!! 🐙♏️☮️🐙 Spero che la mia recensione Ti sia stata di qualche aiuto 👋🏼 Se hai curiosità o domande sarò lieto di risponderti 📝 🐙 Grazie 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣‼️…e alla prossima 🔜⬇️

Utilisation en multi Room dans ma chambre de 30 m² Le son est remarquable Petite taille, mais il fait bien son job.

Tengo otros productos de Bluesound y me gustan. Ahora he buscado un pequeño altavoz para el dormitorio y la terraza. Para mi es perfecto. Tengo acceso a todo la musica en mi NAS, Internet Radio y tiene también una salida para auriculares. Encima he copiado algunas álbumes en mp3 a un USB-Stick y por eso puedo escuchar música también si estoy fuera de la cubertería de mi WiFi. El sonido es muy bueno para un altavoz tan pequeñito.
