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.

    • The Only Portable Bluetooth That Matters
Color: Navy Style: Bluetooth 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. ... show more

    • The “tank”’of small bluetooth speakers!
Color: Bonfire Orange Style: Bluetooth speaker
Durable, fast to connect, great battery and beautiful. This is a clear sounding speaker not a bass machine. If you have your expectations in check (it is a quality over quantity thing) It sound so clean but there is no overemphasized bass (there are no passive radiators just two smaller full range drivers) Use this on your adventures for casual listening and you will be blown away over time as you will pickup on the accuracy and quality sound that is not flashy at first listen. The real star of the show here is the heavy duty build quality. This thing is the most “tank like” Bluetooth speaker I have ever experienced honestly. I think if you threw this at something or dropped it, something might get damaged but the speaker WILL survive. Its so heavy and dense.. I think once you pick up the speaker, you’ll understand 100% of what it’s all about. It’s hard to explain with a review or words just go get one! ... show more

    • This is the best Bluetooth speaker I’ve purchased.
Color: Black Anthracite Style: Bluetooth speaker
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. ... show more

    • A Posh Music speaker!
Color: Navy Style: Bluetooth speaker
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 ... show more

    • Nice little speaker, sweet sound
Color: Grey Mist Style: Bluetooth speaker
I bought this to take into my backyard in the afternoons and evenings when I want to relax. It doesn't have any bass to speak of, but it does have richly textured lower midtones (which I'd say are more important), and sparkling treble notes. My wife also loves it. If I was hosting barbecues, and inviting company over, it would not be nearly big enough. For parties I'd get the larger model B&O portable. But I just put this little thing on the patio table with the wine and snacks, and its perfect for myself and my wife. Battery life seems to be very good. And it just so easy to carry with you and play where ever you want it. ... show more

    • It’s good but I’m a little disappointed
Color: Grey Mist Style: Bluetooth speaker
Review Image by Garden nymph
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!! ... show more

I’ve seen too many bad reviews on this one so I wanted to give my opinion. First bear in mind that not all speakers are for everyone. Speakers are like clothes, perfumes, etc. You choose them according to your tastes but in order to buy the right one (speakers) first you you need to ask yourself a couple of questions. What kind of music do I listen to? What kind of brand do I relate with? What am I expecting of it? This portable speaker doesn’t really have deep bass, TRUE, but it is there. Apart from that, the voicing of it is great. The vocals sound clear and warm and its ability of playing a song with lots of sounds and instruments is great for such a small portable speaker. I own many portable speakers including the Bose revolve+ and I prefer the Explore in most of the cases. Again, if you want a speaker for extreme bass music, this is not the one, but if you like Vocal music, smooth Jazz like Diana Krall you are going to love it. If you want a party speaker this is not the one either, but if you want a speaker that accompanies you during your walks or have it with you in your office or home without stealing all your attention this is the one for you because although this little speaker can get loud it does it with class and without being obnoxious. I love it! I forgot to mention… the build quality is superb! ... show more

    • Don’t waste money in B&O crappy products
Color: Green Style: Bluetooth speaker
I recently purchased a Bang & Olufsen speaker, attracted by its sleek design and premium external materials. Initially, I was impressed by its aesthetics. However, my experience quickly soured as the battery stopped working, making it the fifth quality problem I've encountered with a product from this brand. In all honesty, I found this Bang & Olufsen speaker to be disappointing. The brand's reputation suggests top-tier products, but this speaker left much to be desired. The fact that this is my fifth quality problem with a Bang & Olufsen product strongly suggests a recurring issue with their quality control and reliability. While the designs and external materials are undeniably cool and visually appealing, it's clear that the internal components don't match up. When it comes to speakers, the sound quality is paramount, and in this aspect, I was underwhelmed. The claim that older products from competitors like Bose, Marshall, JBL, and Sony perform better and offer superior sound quality even with cheaper exterior materials holds weight based on my experience. In conclusion, I would caution potential buyers to think twice before investing in expensive products from the Bang & Olufsen brand. While they excel in aesthetics, the quality and performance of their speakers may not meet your expectations, and the fact that this is my fifth quality problem with their products suggests a larger issue within the brand. There are more reliable alternatives available in the market. ... show more
