I must admit that it was with a certain skepticism that I unpacked the new JBL Classic speakers in retro design. It helped a bit that the previous JBL speakers I tested – L100 Classic, had blown me off the chair when I tested them, so I had a glimmer of hope. But I had historical …
The market for intelligent wireless speakers is exploding to a degree that can almost begin to compare with the headphone market. A driving factor is the availablity of voice control. Equipping a speaker with Google Assistant is technologically relatively simple, and then you suddenly have a smart speaker that can be used in multi-room systems …
The unusual Iron 14 speakers took us by storm when we tested them in 2017 . Along with a distinctive look and an even more distinctive choice of materials in cast iron, they impressed us with a formidable perspective and purity at the price. Now Audioform is back with a new and no less unusual …
Actually, it should not be possible for something so small to be so tough. The speakers are not much bigger than a shoebox, and take up so little space that they almost disappear on the bookshelf. Normally such small speakers are full of limitations, and they are found here as well. There are only fewer …

However, it is the first with that name, as its predecessor was called Beoplay by first name, and was part of the defunct B&O Play brand. It also means that there are two Beosound products with the number …
With clear references to the Bang & Olufsen Beomaster 6000 sound system, the Danes have launched another portable Bluetooth speaker on the market. The name is Beoplay P6, and it will replace the previously so popular A2. The price is, in the usual B&O style, high. Fortunately, so is the feeling of quality. The P6 is designed by …
Some people might make the mistake of rejecting the Phantom Reactor as a dinky little designer piece best suited for showing off in a trendy home. But Devialet is the company behind some of the most technologically advanced hi-fi products on the market; with their first Phantom speaker they pushed the limits of what we …
