hello everyone and welcome today we are going to talk about that bangle doll of some do play a 6s with most bang & olufsen products they try selling this premium so this speaker has a price tag of around thousand euros I got it for a way cheaper so otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought it but I wanted to share my impressions with it yeah bangle Dolson hosts this a one point music system that fills the room with spectacular sound so this is a stationary unit which has Wi-Fi included also bluetooth it has spotify connect tune in to DS or whatever but it needs to be attached to mains all the time the design here looks a bit strange it has this fabric cover from quadrat some Scandinavian textile company just the same that is used for all FIFA's speakers so they look quite similar regarding finish and although the venison you play is six looks a big a bit big it's quite a slim speaker so you can see there is hardly any any thickness to it it comes or there are optional wall mounting brackets so you can let it hang on a wall but I think it looks a bit strange it looks rather like some some satellite antenna then a speaker you really have to like this design it has a nice grip at the back so you can carry it around although it's not a light lightweight it's I think around 4.5 kilograms or something of course no better included and yeah the specs are quite interesting it has two woofers to Twitter's and even a full range grab at the back which should offer a little bit of an omnidirectional effect we could take off this grille to have a look how the drivers look so yet you can see the big woofers here - Twitter's they are slightly aimed outwards which should enhance the stereo field the back driver is of course not visible but yet below you have another compartment here which includes a switch for placement so there is a placement for free clothes at the wall and in a corner this switch what I noticed adjusts based slightly so in a corner base will will be getting reduced while standing completely free you get most base quite quite a bit of a bass boost so it says here 260 watts for the woofers one time 60 watts for the back driver and 230 watts for the tweeters so altogether we are 240 watts for the speaker but as we already know Bennett also likes to exaggerate a little bit with the ratings because 240 watts for the speaker is a bit much I would say what else to say controls are a bit strange the entire area here on top is touch sensitive so depending where you touch it something happens also during carrying around I always touch something here so it switches to another source or starts playing music for changing volume you have to stroke it like that I would rather use it remotely from the smartphone or tablet or whatever and I don't want to go into details about usage functions and so on but rather concentrate one sound and as always I will be using a head cam and my normal microphones to give you a kind of first-person impression we'll have a listen to it with some songs I already played before so we get a nice impression about the sound I hope and yeah please use headphones as this is the only premise for binaural microphones and yeah let's check it out as you can see I set the a6 slightly far away together with my Phillips on switch because to have some comparison although the Philips because are an older model and not available anymore they should still be quite comparable as the original price was also around 700 up to thousand dollars switching to the Bo play a6 takes a bit of time because of airplay so I will simply cut their paws out in post-processing I will start with the a6 and a jazz sound so please have a listen something else another song and you can maybe hear some strange problems problems with the bass here Tilly's don't have any of these problems basics again needles something is not right here there is some bass distortion let's check how this sounds of exes so obviously the back driver contributes quite well on the a6 but the bass sounds really orbital here would a six again yeah I think a computed maybe a dense trick yet according to the iPhone we are around maybe 2/3 closer to 3/4 but it sounds horrible tips because yes sounds more normal here you three six again and maybe let's increase volume slightly to see what happens you have to reduce it closer to half volume to get clean sound so apart from the nested bass distortion why does the Bo play a sick sound so much different compared to the Philips answer is because we can have a look at some frequency response measurement and you can see it measures small s like some ballet landscape the Philips answer is because although not perfectly flat either measure just more natural so this may be the reason why the Bo play is 6-ounce just different than many other speakers now this may be a bit unfair but let's compare the a6 against the Harman Kardon go in play which is a portable unit in place from battery it also costs one third of the bill play a six I will start again with the a6 in the song from kpx so please have a listen you can also hear it struggling with the bass here the con play place much cleaner basics again maybe a track from princess freesia we also hear boho basics again they can hear just rub rub rub there is no precision with the face nothing let's try it right from sunchaser we also hear the bass drum sounds horrible to do be just the same it was on the Bo play a two here everything is perfect a six again a two three let's check how they sound off axis as you can see I put some rubber below because they tended to vibrate a lot go and play here nothing of the strange effect here also nice dispersion of X's but here the bass sounds horrible definitely not a speaker for modern dance music and so on probably not hip-hop either let's write a threat I will increase volume slightly but you can use some distortion from the bass the coin play as well much more punchy without Distortion this sounds hollow somehow and outright you're going to check how loud they can play although this sounds already distorted now it won't play and I will increase what information on thirty-six as well with quite a bit louder but sounds horrible another threat come on come on don't play a six yeah okay it turned off yeah obviously some protection inside yeah won't play so this is the effect when the speaker yeah has some protection building because it cannot play at maximum volume but tries to so yeah I'm not quite sure what to think about this speaker I mean yeah please tell me your opinion but four thousand dollars I was expecting quite a bit more especially the sound which starts falling apart that levels about half is unacceptable for a premium product like that I mean it performs well at low levels but still it has this typical bang bowls and sound signature that you have to like with lots of deep bass lots of treble but in the middle everything is somehow missing sometimes I had the impression is if I was listening to some clock radio together with a subwoofer because in the middle there was no nobody to the sound but really very detailed treble upper treble mid treble really nice also deep bass but this distortion is horrible we heard it from the Bangalore symbiote play it all the same this one is even stronger as it has more bass more boosted bass yeah you could switch maybe to corner placement but this would get rid of the bass nearly completely yeah I'm really not sure I mean I like the approach but it would need some better processing there is the latest firmware installed because I thought maybe they corrected it like they did with the a2 they too had lots of distortion at the beginning later on they issued an update which improved but here it's it's still there and it sounds horrible yeah $4,000 I think I would go for definitely something else it is not able to feel larger rooms with an adequate volume it's nice for a low level listening in and maybe bedroom or some other small room but I wouldn't play something like that it's just too big some smaller because because do the trick as well so yeah I'm not that impressed with it I liked it because everything sounds so different through the speaker then hunama because but this distortion is unacceptable for me I cannot listen to music as most modern recordings have this strong mastering which makes the speaker strung completely so yeah it's not a speaker for dense music maybe some classical fans or jazz with not too much bass not much upright bass but rather Jess without bass would like it maybe only piano music it has a nice sense of stereo of course nothing exceptional but there is some nice spaciousness to the sound also very open sounding the back driver of course also contributes to this but yeah altogether I mean a speaker like the Harman Kardon going play which is a portable speaker costing 1/3 out performs this I mean it doesn't sound natural either but it's a portable unit that you can really take with you and it sounds I mean does not distort like this so yeah nothing else to say about the Bengal single a 6 I already added it to the speaker audio database you can find it there and compare it to some others because you will notice that the b.o.b elite 15 has a very similar sound signature this has even deeper bass and and nice a treble but it distorts horribly yeah I'm not that impressed and I would if I if you got it as I did for less than half the price yeah maybe but not $4,000 forget it you will get much better speakers think of the JBL el 16 or something the big ones yeah they are able to fill a large room not this one so thanks a lot for watching I hope you liked it I hope it could give you an impression about the sound and yeah if you want to know more details you look up the side or some manual it has some nice functions but there is no ability to tune the sound somehow with an equaliser like like it is possible with the a21 where you can slide a dot around and change the tuning this is not possible with a six so thanks a lot and yeah see you in the next video have a nice time your hash law
