    Product Description

    Ready for adventure, Beosound Explore is a tough, waterproof speaker designed for the great outdoors. Durability is part of Beosound Explore's core DNA. The tough outer shell is made from hard anodised aluminium, making it our most scratch resistant portable speaker yet. Built to withstand a fall of up to 1.5 metres or submersion in a metre of water for up to 30 minutes, Beosound Explore is a waterproof and dust resistant speaker that’s ready to accompany you on any adventure. Whether you're relaxing at the beach or taking in the views on an adrenaline-filled hiking expedition, your Bluetooth speaker can be confidently placed beside you thanks to the non-slip rubberised base. Crafted to be flexible and ultra-portable, it’s lightweight and easy to carry too. The grab-and-go design is perfect when you're on the move. You can even attach Beosound Explore to the outside of your backpack by hooking the included carabiner to it. The dual 1.8'' full range drivers deliver a huge musical punch and rich bass for such a small speaker. The grill is cut in 360-degree lines, which not only looks great but also helps create True360 omnidirectional sound. You can place your Beosound on a rock behind you, in the middle of a circle of people, or use the strap to hang it from a tent pole and the sound performance will be equally authentic. The elegant and minimalist control panel is on top of the speaker for easy access and the push buttons have been designed to work in all conditions, even if your speaker is covered in sand, water or a dusting of soil. The powerful battery offers up to 27 hours of playtime at a normal listening volume, making it easy to enjoy music when you're exploring in the wilderness or away from easy power sources. You can also stereo pair two Beosound Explore speakers for a more spacious sound, ideal if you're away with friends or hosting a garden party. No matter where your adventures take you, the uncompromising sound quality of the Beosound Explore will get you there.

    It’s good but I’m a little disappointed
    I have had many wireless speakers. UE boom, UE roll (both good for the money). I have a Harmon kardon gen 1 or 2 Bluetooth that sounds excellent. I have an Audi A 5 convertible with a B and O sound system that is just the best thing ever. I had never heard B and O until I got the Audi. So. Now I have refurbished a vintage travel trailer and wanted some killer sound while I’m camping. It’s a small space so I don’t need anything like the Harmon Kardon. Plus that needs an outlet. So I’m thinking what does B and O offer in a small package? I got this speaker for $118 because of the gray color I guess. It was cheaper than black. I downloaded the app. And with some adjustments to the bass /treble on the app I was able to get a satisfactory sound. Was I blown away. Sadly not. I was expecting a lot more from B and O. Even if it’s just a wireless speaker. It’s not bad by any means. And I guess for the price it’s a good value. I guess I’m comparing it to my Audi stereo system which is just amazing. 🤩 I can crank it to infinity and it’s crystal clear. I like crisp sound that I can distinctly hear all the beautiful components. Is that too much to ask for in a wireless Bluetooth speaker from the infamous B and O? Like l said it’s not bad any means. But I guess my expectations were too high. It can be cranked to a point. But I’d like it louder. Anyway. Just my rambling thoughts. I’m in my little camper now drinking some beer on a sunny Saturday afternoon listening to some jazz and just chillin. Hope this review helps!!

      This is the third different B&O speaker I've bought. They're all exceptional in their own way. This Explore is amazingly clear. Not much bass, but everything else. And great battery life.

      It's weatherproof. Has the looks you'd expect from B&O. Very portable. Great connectivity.

      I also have the Beoplay A1 (1st generation. Very important). The A1 does have the bass, but not the battery life. And the connectivity of the A1 is tricky. But I prefer the A1 sound. I've owned several.

      I really like the B&O app, also.

      Check out B&O's headphones. They have the best sound of all.

      This speaker is amazing. I got it on sale. The price for this speaker I feel is worth every penny. The speaker does have weight to it. Not too heavy but because it is made out of quality metal it adds weight compared to cheap plastic ones. However that weight provides better sound since there is no rattling like plastic speakers. It’s a great size and looks amazing wherever you put it. It performs great in small rooms but in large rooms if you put it towards the center of the room it really fills the room. The sound is incredible for something so small. The quality of the sound doesn’t change as you turn it even all the way up. I was really impressed at what a clean sound it has. I do move it from room to room and bought it primarily for around the house but have also used it outside and taken it with me. Because it’s metal and looks so good and I want to keep it that way when putting it in a bag I put it in a small case type bag. However I haven’t been overly careful sign it around the house and even dropped it and nothing happened to it. The strap is well made also and really convenient and looks good because it’s well made as well. I had high expectations because the company makes great products but it even surpassed those expectations. I get endless compliments about it and have had friends order one right after seeing and hearing it and they were surprised at the price not being much higher. You will not regret buying this speaker.

      My trucks at work (most of them) do not have radios. A Bluetooth that last all day and overcomes the sound of a loud diesel tractor is very important to me not losing my mind.

      Bang & Olufsen is pretty well the gold standard in audio as far as I’m concerned. My BMW has it and it’s the best audio of any car I’ve ever had. This Bluetooth speaker follows that tradition.

      The design is incredibly compact, elegant and well thought out. The ability to hang it with a carabiner was an incredibly important consideration for me. It’s a beautiful piece of engineering.

      Performance is exceptional when used with the app which allows fine tuning. It’s incredibly loud, fills a space and has rich audio. Do not care about bass as you won’t get meaningful bass out of a small speaker for the most part. Clear audio is the name of the game and this speaker breaks so many rules. It pushes way above its weight class.

      Not to mention it’s entirely inexpensive for the performance this bad boy delivers. This is the only speaker you should consider if you remotely care about audio quality.

      B&O makes posh high end audio gear….gear which showcases the most avant-garde design which would be at home in any modern art museum (MOMA indeed has some of the past B&O iconic products in their exhibits). Normally their gear is priced out of the range of normal-average-hard-working folk ($10000 speakers for example), but with this product, you can get to experience a slice of the life of the upper 0.1%!

      In all seriousness, this is a regular tiny Bluetooth speaker which has a price at least 5X more than your average tiny Bluetooth speaker. So what do you get for that premium? First, the whole shell is made of metal. It feels cool to the touch. It has hard “Type II anodization” on the aluminum shell which will help resist scratches, and should take the hard knocks while it’s hanging off your backpack using the supplied carabiner clip. The speaker is IPX67 meaning it’s water and dust resistant. You can immerse the whole thing into water for a very short period even.

      Soundwise, this is a tiny speaker so don’t expect much in terms of volume and thump. It will start to distort if you try to turn it up too high (it's not going to fill a large room in your house). It sounds smooth and the tonality is slightly warm (you hear less of the treble and more of the midrange). Deep bass is nonexistent, but there’s just enough of upper bass tones that you can follow the rhythm of the beat. Measurements on other review sites show that it doesn’t reproduce any content below 100Hz. Basically, it doesn’t reinvent any laws of acoustics and still sounds like a small speaker. But the overall sound quality is clean and the tonality is pleasant. it’s a portable speaker that you can carry with you anywhere, so you can have some music while boating, at the beach, hiking, camping etc. It just works!

      Battery life is good, at lower and moderate volumes, it easily lasts 10+ hours. Controls are simple: power, volume, play/pause/skip forward backwards. It isn’t necessary to install the app but the app is useful because it gives you the exact battery percentage, turn-off the auto-standby feature if you don’t want it, and has some presets to select a different sound signature or alternatively you can fine tune the strength of the treble/midrange/bass precisely by moving around a slider into four quadrants on the screen. I think it sounds fine with the default “optimized” preset. Also as a bonus, you can plug this into your computer with the USB and used it like a wired USB speaker. You can pair two Bluetooth devices to it, which is the norm nowadays.

      So is it worth it? By the way, I bought this at a 45% discount (check amazon price history for this product) and even though it’s still not inexpensive, I feel it is good value. Even if it had cost more, I would not have been disappointed. I don’t mind paying more for something that feels like it’s going to last, and with B&O, you get some cutting edge design with great sound engineering.

      This is a 5 star product, but minus 1 star just because I would have liked to have a microphone so that it acts as speakerphone. Also, because of the bluetooth profile, your device won't show the battery percentage on the phone itself, you have to view the percentage in the app. And the sound is good but it doesn't manage to break any laws of physics (not blaming the speaker but I had hoped that it would really stand out among other small speakers of this size with the bag of tricks that B&O geniuses have up their sleeves. The result is merely very good rather than exceptional). So result is 4 out of 5

      My first B&O product. Terrific sound. Takes a fall, I have dropped it several times , it just looks up at me and says, is that all you got. My personal podcast companion. It plays exactly what I tell it to play and when. Great range, fills a room with clear sound and looks and feels like a piece of equipment that means business. I love the chestnut color, it's perfect!! These folks got this one right!

      The media could not be loaded.
      This little thing is loud, clear sound, easy to set up, looks really cool, the battery is fantastic, and when you get the companion app it lets you customise the sound profile. Most of the reviews that say the bass isn’t as good as Bose probably haven’t used the app. I tried it with a fairly large range of genres and everything sounds good. The metal body feels robust and well built. The only thing it struggles with, which is common for a speaker this size.. is the really low “wobble-bass” in certain electronic genres, but the sound doesn’t crack at all even then. If you’ve got the money to spend, this has over 2x the battery life of other speakers at the same price point. It’s also rated at a max output of 60 watts (loud. Very loud), while most others in this range deliver 30 watts. If you really hate your neighbours, get two and stereo pair them together on the app. Two thumbs up!

      Bu ürünü aldıktan sonra çok karşılaştırılan bose soundlink flex ürününü de satın aldım ve ikisini arkadaşlarımla birlikte dış mekanda karşılaştırdım. Bose bassları daha yüksek verdiği için ilk başta daha çekici gelse de uzun süreli dinlemede ses kalitesindeki fark net bir biçimde anlaşılıyor. Ses seviyesi daha yüksek gibi geldiği için başlarda arkadaşlarım bose’nin daha iyi olduğunu düşündü fakat bir süre dinledikten sonra bass yüksekliğinden kaynaklı boğukluk kulaklarımızı yormaya başladı. Bang&Olufsen ise sesleri çok net ve dengeli şekilde verme konusunda çok daha başarılı. Bugüne kadar gördüğüm bu boyutlardaki en net hoparlör. Uygulamasında eq ayarlarıyla oynayarak istediğiniz sesi yakalayabilirsiniz. Diğer hoparlördeki gibi (bose de dahil) sahte bass vermiyor, iç mekanlarda tatmin edici ve kaliteli bir tonda bass veriyor, odayı kaplıyor. Batarya ömrü ve tasarımı da diğer hoparlörlere göre diğer avantajları. Tasarımı çok hoş fakat biraz daha fazla para verip antrasit gri rengini almanızı tavsiye ederim. Bu rengi de çok beğendim ama antrasit içimde kaldı diyebilirim. Genel olarak çok tatmin edici bir ürün.

      Lieferung von AMAZON erfolgte innerhalb eines Tages, wie immer super!!!

      Die Verpackung ist mit einer dünnen Folie überzogen und schützt somit den Karton gegen Feuchtigkeit und Schmutz, was ich persönlich gut finde. Der Lautsprecher selbst war unten und oben mit Silikon Schützern versehen, so dass die Beschichtung beim Transport nicht leidet. Zudem können diese auch weiterverwendet werden, um den Lautsprecher beim Outdoor Gebrauch zusätzlich zu schützen, top!

      Das Design ist einzigartig. Sieht aus wie der Schalldämpfer/Mündungsbremse von einem Scharfschützen Gewehr, großen Kaliebers (wahrscheinlich auch die gleiche Tacktstraße bei der Herstellung) und ist im Durchmesser einen Tick größer als eine 0,33l Dose. Form wie Verarbeitung sind genial und hervorragend. Der Lautsprecher vermittelt optisch und händisch ein sehr wertiges Gefühl, was konkurrenzlos ist. Der gummierte Fuß ist rutschfest, was Segler sicher zu schätzen wissen. Mit der Schlaufe und dem Karabiner ist alles für den Outdoor Einsatz mit an Bord.

      Die Bedienung ist intuitiv und unkompliziert, wie auch die Verbindung mit dem Smartphone sowie der B&O App. Über letztere lässt sich der Lautsprecher nach Belieben konfigurieren, updaten und der Sound anpassen.

      Die Lautstärke, welche die Box generiert, ist für mich völlig in Ordnung. Eine Box mit derart geringen Abmessungen beschallt physikalisch bedingt keinen Partysaal oder Volleyballplatz. Für die häuslichen vier Wände, im Büro, unter Deck beim Segeln und auf dem Hof ist sie alle mal mehr als gut.

      Der Sound eines jeden Bluetooth Lautsprechers/Kopfhörers ist subjektiv und von den eigenen Hörgewohnheiten/-vorlieben geprägt. Wer gerne lautes Gewummer aus dem Lautsprecher für notwendig erachtet, wird mit der B&O Box nicht auf Wellenlänge liegen. Hier empfehle ich die Sony SRS XE300, welche das Gewummer hervoragend erzeugt, aber alles andere dabei auch komplett untergeht, ob mit oder ohne EQ.
      Die B&O Beosound Explore ist eine Box, welche die Musik original wiedergibt, ohne die Tiefen, Mitten oder Höhen zu verändern/verfälschen/bevorteilen. Sie klingt so wie es das zugespielte Format zulässt. Da ich nur FLAC ab HD (CD Auflösung) Qualität streame (AMAZON) oder per ONKYO PLAYER APP den angeschlossenen Kopfhörern/Boxen zuspiele, ist der Sound hervorragend. Nuancen werden detailliert und präzise wiedergegeben. Ich bin begeistert wie diese kleine, wunderschöne Dose die Musik reproduziert, wobei der dB Abfall bei der 360° Wiedergabe nur 5% umlaufend beträgt (gemessen mit kalibriertem Schallmessgerät)! Hier hat B&O alles richtig entwickelt und beim Explore umgesetzt.
      Egal welche Musik zugespielt wird, ob Jazz, Dance, Pop, Rock oder Indie, das Klangspektrum ist immer angenehm warm, Tiefen werden knackig präzise und die Mitten sowie Höhen sauber, detailliert dargestellt. Die negativen Bewertungen den Sound betreffend kann ich nicht bestätigen. Wie bereits beschrieben, benötigt jeder Lautsprecher und Kopfhörer eine Einspielzeit sowie die richtige Qualität an Datenstrom, um die Musik sauber und wie vom Musiker gedacht wiederzugeben. Bei dem Explore klappt dies sehr gut, egal ob OneRepublic, Otis Taylor, Paul van Dyk, Ofenbach, Pink, Lady Gaga, Amy MacDonald, Inxs, George Ezra, Evanescence usw.

      Wer einen handlichen, wunderschönen, stabilen, mobilen Lautsprecher sucht, ohne Abstriche bei der Musikwiedergabe eingehen zu wollen, ist mit dem B&O Beosound Explore sehr gut beraten. Wer Gewummer als Primat bei der Musikwiedergabe benötigt und zudem eine Box die das Wohngebiet all abendlich ordentlich stresst, wird bei JBL, Sony oder anderen Herstellern und in der Kategorie 3 - 10 kg Partyboxgewicht eher fündig. Ich hatte die Sony SRS XE300 Box nur 12h in Betrieb, in der sie durchweg betrieben wurde und auch mit verschiedenen Modi nicht zu einem runden Sound zu bewegen war, aber ordentlich bumm, bumm, bumm erzeugen konnte, wobei alles andere auf der Strecke blieb. Selbst meine 6 Jahre alte JBL Charge 2 + konnte das besser, mit mehr Detail und präzisiere Darstellung der Musik.

      Urrrrgh, it's just perfect!

      It's genuinely even more wonderful in person.

      It's small enough to hold in the palm of your hand (see photo of it in the palm of my hand), and it's stunning. I know, looks don't matter, etc etc, except they absolutely do, of course they do, and this is the Angelina Jolie of speakers; the Ana de Armas of bluetooth... so gorgeous you'll want to do unspeakable things to it.

      I'm not a degenerate, so I'm just using it to play music but, honestly, your mileage may vary, and I won't judge you for it.

      Just quickly, I know apps are a pain, and bloody everything wants you to download a bloody app these days, but this app is worth getting.

      You can change your sound mode (adjust bass, etc); use it to pair two speakers together for stereo, etc etc. Definitely worth getting - you're very limited with what you can do from the unit itself: essentially, on, off, skip, play, and volume control.

      It pairs with my phone's bluetooth easily - catches it first time within a second or so, and makes a delightful plink-plonk sound when you turn it on.

      The sound is lovely... but, I admit, it could maybe do with having a bit more bass, if that's your sort of thing. Again, you can increase the bass via the app (photos shows the wheel you use - you can manually move the sound around and land on your perfect spot), but if you like it super, super deep, this may not scratch your itch.

      Saying that, for my sins, I've discovered a guilty love for dubstep, and this showcases the heavy drops (God forgive me) very nicely. (I am legitimately ashamed of using the phrase "heavy drop" in front of people.)

      The battery is amazing, too - I'm fairly convinced it lasts longer than 27 hours, because I've used it a tonne, and I've yet to re-charge it. If it's not been in use for 27hrs yet, it's very close, and there are no issues with sound quality or lag or owt.

      The only thing I would say is, for the money, you'd want it to come with a case, ideally. I'll treat mine like the treasure that it is, and I'll never let any harm come to it, but knocks can and do happen (just not to mine!) so a case being included would have been good. It comes with two flimsy silicone caps for the top and bottom but they're no good.

      I bought this hard shell case at the same time, and it works a treat (and it matches!) so that's highly recommended, too.

      Lovely, Green Speaker is probably my most treasured possession, and I can't see the novelty of it ever wearing off, so if you're on the fence, I can't say enough good things about it.

      (But, given my taste in music, I would not blame you if you feel I can't be trusted.)
