About Bang & Olufsen Beosound Explore - Wireless Portable Outdoor Bluetooth speaker
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
77% found the battery long-lasting, yet 23% reported unexpected drainage
I have only charged the battery once in 3 months and its life is excellent.
The speaker has excellent battery life and a quality construction with a nice design.
When I paired two speakers, the battery life drained considerably and it was nowhere near the advertised 27 hours or 1 and 1/8 days.
62% appreciated the compatibility with voice assistants, yet 38% found it inconsistent
I haven't mentioned anything about the compatibility of the Bluetooth speaker with voice assistants.
The speaker powers on at full volume regardless of the device's volume adjustment.
83% found it easy to connect, however 17% encountered issues
I like the radio feature of the app which allows me to access radio stations in my area or worldwide and choose a genre.
I found the speaker to be the most versatile one. It is lightweight, dust and sand resistant, water-resistant (except for diving), and can be dropped in a river, on concrete, and sand dune.
For a camping holiday in a tent, I suggest it is suitable, but for the patio, it is better to get an ultimate ears instead.
66% found it easy to connect, but 34% faced difficulties in pairing
I can pair the speaker with two Bluetooth devices, which is a standard feature nowadays.
I have a paired set of these speakers and the b&oq app allows both mono or stereo from 2 speakers in tandem.
If the speaker is saved on multiple devices, I cannot choose which device it connects to.
82% praised the compact and portable design, although 18% found it bulky
The speaker has amazing presence, especially near a wall or corner where the sound can reflect off it, and is only slightly bigger than a can of soup.
I appreciated the materials and construction of the speaker, but felt that the volume was subdued and did not meet my expectations.
79% appreciated the sound quality, but 21% were disappointed
The sound quality is very good.
I am disappointed with the sound quality of the speakers, which is the most important aspect of speakers in my opinion.
Even after fine tuning, I consistently experience crunchy and subtly muffled sound quality.
I am disappointed with the sound quality of the speaker. It did not meet my expectations and when compared to a Bose bluetooth speaker, it falls short by a mile. I do not recommend it for those looking for sound quality.
