B&O Beoplay P2 - best pocket-sized mini speaker

2017-05-29
hi and welcome today it's finally time to check out the dangle dollars in the op lately - a bit more in detail we've already heard it in AP and also maybe you remember but in the meantime I headed home for several weeks and I think I can state now that this is the best pocket size means because ever try it it's really small so it's fitting for any pocket but still gives you this major full-bodied sound usually missing from most mini speakers of course this comes at the price hundred seventy dollars of yours is not cheap you can definitely find bigger cheapest because it sounds better than this but if you need this one small sector with that best sounds currently on the market that people seems to be the only one it's not perfect though so pretty minimalistic just has a USB c-type charging port no controls it has some internal volume control so when controlling volume to an iPhone or an Android there is no problem but I had problems controlling volume through this xiangning m1s the speaker obviously remained at the last volume step so I couldn't turn it louder from from this device apart from that yes it has some gimmicky touch controls so double tapping will start music shaking will change flag and so on but okay sometimes the husband 3 you see yeah you can also turn it off through the app and I don't want to go more into details about how great it looks and so on how great the design is of the product concentrate on sound will also miss complete compared to some others because some news because like this JBL clip here and but also because because like the flip 3 and later on also the a1 is many very interested how these to compare but before I think a listen let's check out some frequency response measurements I measured it directly on axis and 45 degrees off-axis and you can see it has like smiley response but this movements out innocent of X's at low levels there is some dynamic bass boost and the speaker sounds really mature then at higher levels basically just more and more but still it manages to give you the impression of a really big sound even at maximum despite the small size of course there's also an app where you can tweak the sound so there is some box you can flag around and have four corners warm excited to be next and bright and I try to measure this as well so with warm you get an upward tilt toward space right that's exactly the opposite boost treble reduce bass excited takes out mid slightly while relaxed boost Smith you can also increase the size of the dot which would make the sounds most ratios but with a mono speaker does result in a strange response also bangle almost and decided to take away the still apparent feature so there is no option anymore to pair it with an r1 for stereo it remains a mono speaker but still I think it sounds really great and I would like to demonstrate you this of course you can also check it out to my speaker audio database compare it against 200 different other speakers but now I will take my head cam my Norrell microphones you should grab your headphones and we will check it out I will turn the video play p2 on and first I would like to demonstrate you what kind of Santa can usually expect from most music because of course this is much cheaper than this the JBL click and all aversion but I think it sounds even better than the new JBL crypto compared to the do play p2 it sounds a bit ridiculous although really not that bad actually I start playing with a p2 and the song from soul person in Texas Rita is instrumental version so please have a listen to JBL contribute a bit ridiculous compared to their $10 fee for to also try the difference in loudness between both so the JBL cleat is already playing slow supplements rooms with the maxim volume with quite a bit of compression where the tool also makes my mouth I can hear much louder is not really comparable what we could do is compare it against some highly rated speaker on Amazon to display UN's angular 3 from Cambridge Audio I think it's something worse than the JBL clip but people seem to be quite satisfied with it and yeah we should check out how this sounds compared another song again starting with a b2 first it's a world-famous mobile emulator quality just horrible of course we're and is much if I think you know $30 per film I would like to listen to music a bit also remember the people is an omnidirectional speaker so it will sounds great from all angles there the one thing is really one of the worst actors still I don't understand all the people who create this so highly applicable is of course try mixing volume the anything list it's really loud regarding the style but it still sounds like crap so increasing volume to maximum the first really hurt the PCs model output remains nicely balanced this sound to destroy them I think the people sounds more comparable to the JBL flip three of course the JBL fit three is also quite a bit cheaper maybe half the price of the p2 but still impressive what can be achieved all the ways because that small starting again with the do play people video famous to me tell it to me give me online but the last drop of my face he says in the elephant okay lower levels where the people has some dynamic sound adjustment they're slippery positive scenic lower levels can increase your volume Hezekiah will try to match them in a galaxy you can hear some very slight vibration this is just because it Mendelssohn plans to overdose they're processing but most speakers you will hear the clip three dozen on that slope how do I be cheap so this is really impressive for comment also keep in mind an omnidirectional sound from behind you can get more let's forget that history come along me what loud advice that you could end up complete with the 15 so I will increase volume the maximum football joy convinced much louder there was something from multiple birth tone but it's definitely not as loud as they scream and but because many have asked to compare it against a one who will do this no the a one being one of the best portable compact speakers around the p2 will have of course a hard time to compete with especially as its much smaller but still I would like to show you how this Poussin compared I will start with some jazz pop or score so t7 listen math can be special just let everyone chriscommunity a one has much more bass or so ignore assignment to the songs are 30 2015 8 ro vocals come better to the difficulty of course it doesn't at this next phase of the a1 song so by people sounds like a mini version of the a1 maybe being less than half the size it's really quite impressive something else here with really deeper bass and more awful recordings like this from some Poisson process which oh you will notice the difference in bass response between b-school a bit better then a one has much deeper bass and much more powerful baby I will increase volume one not sure what's wrong here it cannot compete with the a 1000 sounds bad that's okay pupils aren't quite similar on complete Hopkins and lava types of course no champion you can hear not that much happens in this upper body we really wanted much much lower much talked about while you go in the sand and they don't stand without you come on lighten up we try to make my son ya know like human surprising it's done there's always challenges and you mentioned that in the clutch so that's what this I would like to compare it against a show me me Bluetooth speaker which is maybe the only mini speaker that can a little bit compete with the pitot I will place the show mean if I just like the p2 to make the more comparable and now I'd like to show you when the people can become a bit uncontrolled toothpaste especially admit volumes Oakley second listen you can hear the bass drum sounds quite a bit distorted the show me place this totally clean there is some maybe overdone processing in the mid volume range this goes away when you turn the speaker softer or we can hear it drones show me how we have the full-bodied sound other people but is much the control somehow another song can hear this counts much chemo although it's also much more directional than the people so it happens around half volume so 40% of the 60% where some songs can start on your own or destroyed that's why this house reckon isn't the best time when I know it's Oregon ishani place this normal thing just goes away at higher levels but here at around 50% it's quite directional but then when the base starts becomes cleaning insult this is just a matter of processing because they show me also becomes Olympic dirtying maybe not effect there's also some earth change of the torsional of course notice wise the people will have a match again the show me cannot play that loud but let's hear the difference so increasing volume to maximum show me come I think you could feel it they people sounds really impressed isn't great for its eyes it can even compete with largest because like the JBL p3 here which is no slouch either because because in this which sound worse still it's not perfect as you could hear may be some slight distortion at neig volume levels base becomes a little bit out of control you can tone it down by the yet and still also battery life is not the greatest at maximum I didn't get two hours out of it but I think it's still better than I J bein clip which didn't even play one hour and a half while being much softer if it's worth one hundred seventy dollars makeup field you can get a better video maybe with the show meanie it doesn't sound as great or as loud as the people but it costs just forty dollars so it's also a really great speaker it cannot compete with the a1 but it's also much lighter and and smaller so I'm not sure if there will be any other really small pocket sites because battling this Harman Kardon will issue the new traveler which seems to be some successor model of the Esquire Mini but this guy a mini costing nearly the same price is a joke compared against a p2 so I doubt the new Harman Kardon traveler will be much better Harman Kardon wallop concentrates on conference II functions and so on but sound wise they people will probably wipe it still I'm quite interested to hear the new Harman Kardon pendulum and if it will be released I will of course compare it against a people currently my wife is using it therefore I also put this golden color as her iPhone is also golden so it's her speaker thanks to her for lending it to me I hope this was helpful for you I hope you had a little bit fun and see you in the next video have a nice time and bye bye
