Braven is known in the USA for building outdoor speakers that are tested in the wilderness. After being acquired by the accessory brand Zagg, they have now spread better in Scandinavia as well. We have previously tested their monster speaker Braven XXL and the somewhat more portable Braven BRV-XL with good results. Now the turn …
The HiFi club’s own brand Argon Audio is often unabashedly good for the price, such as Alto 5 Active. Over time, the range has grown, and now there are both headphones, and as in this case, portable Bluetooth speakers. If you think that Argon Audio Style is too big or too expensive, there is also …
The market is flooded with wireless speakers, but many are not aware that Ultimate Ears was among the first to actually manage to make speakers with good sound. Before the UE Boom, as it is called, it was mostly thin, screaming crows of some speakers. You could say that Boom was a watershed for small, …
In just a few years, JBL has become one of the world’s three largest manufacturers of Bluetooth speakers. And not without reason. For JBL has set itself the goal of being stronger than its competitors, so that it will still be possible to associate the name with party and fun. You know, after the brand …
In an age where it is all about replacing and updating as quickly as possible, one becomes happy when one sees a product that has been on the market for many years. In that respect, there is no one above and no one next to legendary Klipschorn. The large, corner-shaped speaker model has been produced …
Speakers are one of the most popular product groups on our site. But in the actual living rooms they usually live a little on grace. Here they are required to sound good, but preferably not be seen. Dali Menuet SE should meet even the strictest size requirements. They are considerably smaller than shoeboxes, and they …
Multi-room speakers from Sound United, which is the parent company of Denon and Marantz, have so far had their own brand called HEOS. But it is now being replaced by Denon Home. Earlier this year, we tested the series’ smallest, the Denon Home 150, which impressed with great sound. Now the time has come for …
The first time I opened my eyes to JBL’s soundbars was when I tested Bar 3.1 a couple of years ago. What it lacked in nuances and delicacies made up for in sheer sheer power and playfulness. And at £ 600, it was just right priced to run away with the victory in the group …
By all means, be careful with these speakers. They play louder than you think, putting the competition behind them in a deafeningly dynamic sound, where Decibel is always written in capital D. It’s not the speaker for you who prefers a slender soundbar right under the TV, but Klipsch The Fives is definitely the speaker …
Beosound A1 2. Gen is, as the name suggests, another version of the A1 Bluetooth portable speaker. 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 …
When Sonos comes up with a replacement for the aging PlayBar and PlayBase, it’s not a trifle they stick under the hood. The Sonos Arc is large, 114 cm wide, which is equivalent to the width of a 50-inch TV. It is available in both black and white, where our copy was white. It would …
With the Citation series, Harman Kardon wants to appeal to interior-conscious minimalists. The speakers are inspired by Nordic design, designed to blend perfectly into bright environments. At least if you choose the version in light gray wool, which we have tested. If, on the other hand, you are looking for something more anonymous, you can …
Wireless active speakers are gaining ground fast. In the last two years, we have written more about this topic than throughout Lyd & Bilde’s lifetime. But is it possible in the highest tier, or is there still a need for good old-fashioned analog technology in the high-end segment? Dali clearly believes that the time has …
The smallest table speakers have physical limitations that slow down how good the sound can be. But with a little clever digital processing, and good speaker elements, it can be more than acceptable. This is the recipe Bowers & Wilkins has used on the wireless Formation Flex. A compact table speaker from a reputable manufacturer, …
If you like good sound but have a habit of camouflaging or concealing your speakers, maybe you should consider hi-fi products that are so gorgeous to look at they cry out to be displayed! Danish Bang & Olufsen has a long tradition of making nontraditional hi-fi products with extraordinary build quality and a mouthwatering looks. …
