B&O Beoplay A2 - firmware update

2016-03-22
hi as you can see I grabbed a ban on all of San Pio play a to again this is a pretty decent speaker and maybe you can remember that some time ago when it was released I think more than one year ago I already did the read about it and I was really impressed until I discovered the strange distortion issues especially with dance tracks with bass drums and so on meanwhile band also released an update for the speaker so this should fix these problems and add also some other features to the a tool like stereo parameter album also app support with the possibility to adjust its sound as I think it's a little bit treble heavy also bass could be a bit more controlled and I thought we'll check out if this update really fixes all the problems the problems I'm talking about well we will hear it immediately I will start a track a kind of dance track idle at low levels like this although it shows close to half volume yeah it's still pretty pretty soft but as soon as you go past half while still being soft well the bass drum starts to sound funny well heaven listen it's already know this goes away if you lower volume but always with this kind of bass drums you have this problem now it's okay but oh well doesn't sound that good so with dance tracks and so on you really couldn't use this speaker without well without making it sound funny I probably will try this update together um I have already downloaded the software the only thing we need is some some mini USB cable and let's check it out here select our product we have the pure play a tool plus this one be a download yeah they see in the movie let's try this make sure that your a2 is switched off and fully charged okay well switch it off bring your mini USB cable remove the grille of your a2 but be careful start in the corner where the B&O logo is located okay slowly along the edges like this now connect your mini USB cable to your a2 and your computer wait a minute I'm not ready power and the software update process I think she said first here when the update is done as indicated on your computer carefully replace the grille back on your a - okay no what was it a power and plus button until it flashes or something Yuda it does nothing I know so I'll continue yeah this can take a few minutes but at least it's faster than on the JBL extreme doing the update through JBL connected to takes really half an hour or something and you cannot stop the app or well close connection otherwise you will brick maybe your speaker but as you can see there is some progress already we have 39 40 percent so yeah it looks as if everything was working fine here I'm really curious how much the sound has changed and also what kind of sound adjustments you will get through the pure play app 77 70 80 82 yeah it's pretty quick I'm still a bit sick you can hear it maybe have some cold or something all alone ready all in one week so sorry for my nose but it's running like a like a like a water 99% and it got stuck okay okay now it's done it's running like the software version can disconnect the cable and start using the product again yeah we will do this how was the grill mounted I think yeah we don't need the computer anymore I'm curious if it still recognizes my my iPhone or if I have to pair again at this grill okay I think no it's it's on not yet here it snapped in here it's still a bit loose so okay now we have it let's turn it on and see what happens and I also have dieppe already installed yet connected so it still Ramallah remembers my device and let's listen again to the same song it's at this is better now no pow-pow-pow effect anymore let's try this track yeah although you can hear it very slightly but it's better it's definitely better now let's try the app here it is it started how will you have my outfit so what can we do now yeah pair with another one okay that's all I thought there were some equalizer settings or something ah here it is well at post space or office you also hit the slider here which you can move around let's see I hope you can see we have relaxed right excited and warm warm yet increases pace a lot so what's your changes when I set the slider to the upload button but left/right increases travel or increases bass so I think you can definitely change the sound a little bit to your liking for example take a bit away of treble I think it's better now yeah nice pickup for sure this it should have been like that from the very beginning so yeah I think coming up next we will do some comparisons against for example the FIFA Helsinki yeah both from Denmark by the way so it will be an interesting comparison for sure both really high quality brands I mean Benin dolphin and FIFA it's really high-end company for unknown for the best world's best speaker drivers they are the FIFA is I think for more than 80 years they have to building drivers building into really popular speakers and now they have their own wireless pickup rent or like this Helsinki the Copenhagen and the what's the third one Copenhagen is the middle one and the largest is I don't know but anyhow yeah the update as you can see worked it improved the issues with the distortion I complained about from the very beginning so been dolls at least listens a little bit to their customers and now you also have the possibility to to adjust the sound a bit to your liking which is really nice so the pure play a 2 gained a lot thanks to this update and have to applaud Mendelssohn for this yeah but coming up next we will compare these two so stay tuned for more I hope so far this could help you a little bit yeah and what we hear what we hear here is this lizard hill he's always I don't know he wants to eat something maybe it's cream cheese on a glass so if you if you wonder what the strange noises in the background so thanks for watching have a nice time and see you in the next video bye bye you
