I saw this advertised online and was so intrigued. I debated buying this but after doing my research, I am very happy with this purchase. It's a bit expensive for a speaker, but you will not be sorry.Not only is it beautiful to look at and is exquisitely made, it sounds like a dream. I bought it to use in my office at work rather than stream music through the computer speakers.My only complaint...the USB-C cable that came with it sucks. After carefully unpacking it from the box, I plugged it in and nothing. My heart sank thinking I was sold a defective unit. It then occurred to me to use another USB-C cable (I used the one from my MacBook Pro) and voila! It turned on. I ordered more USB-C cables from Apple to replenish my supply.That was the hardest part. Set up is very easy via the B&O app and it is very easy to use.I stream via AirPlay and Bluetooth using Apple Music and it sounds and works great. No issues.Highly recommend.

I’ve owned this speaker 8 months now. I’m a huge B&O fan. I also own a B&O A5 and B&O Level. The sound quality of the Emerge is amazing. I love it so much I just got another one to do a stereo pair. I could listen to this setup all day!!My review is based on using it over WiFi. I won’t buy a speaker at this cost just to use Bluetooth. I got it for the WiFi connection for HiFi music streaming.No regrests! ♥️🎶🎶🎶

Cool look. Lacks base, nice for back ground music. Whole house connectivity and app are touchy.

It has become the focal point of my wooden-themed study. Its sophisticated design perfectly complements my aesthetic vision, blending seamlessly with the natural tones of my workspace. Despite not being an audio expert, I've been delighted by the immersive sound quality – clear, dynamic, and resonant. The compact size fits effortlessly into my bookshelf, and the Wi-Fi connectivity adds a modern touch. This speaker not only enhances my work environment but also elevates it to a new level of elegance. For those seeking a stylish audio solution with impressive performance, it is a remarkable choice from Bang & Olufsen.

I'll admit, the speaker definitely looks premium and connectivity is easy. The Bang & Olufsen app offers significant customization of treble and bass levels which I appreciate. However, once you get past the premium interface you realize that the audio quality is not the best. Clarity is good but the bass and soundstage are significantly lacking. My 5 year old Bose speaker had significantly more bass capability and filled a room more easily than this. This was disappointing when you consider the price. Would consider keeping this if it was closer to $500 but for this price it definitely went back.

I like the quality on all of my Bang Olufsen products. Good sound with good design make it a perfect match.

If you plan to buy it buy something else, particularly if you plan to buy a pair:- does not sync with TV- constantly disconnect from WiFi (in less than one year I reset it at least 100 times)- Stereo pairing constantly fails to set up and when it’s set up magically disconnect itselfThe product alone might be okay, but the firmware was made by a cat on crack.I reported it to B&O which offered to provide useless support.Buy Sonos, Kplisch, anything but this joke.

Design and quality are great for display and music appreciation. Easy set up and look and feel like great design which upgrade the look of my room
