JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi

We’ve tested this before, but now JBL has given the Charge 5 an update, and it’s one of very few portable speakers with Wi-Fi 6. This means that the little JBL speaker supports high-resolution 24bit/96kHz playback over your home network. This actually provides audibly better sound than Bluetooth, and is a bonus for those with …

The Bar 1300 is the largest and most advanced soundbar from JBL to date. The American speaker manufacturer is one of the audio world’s most iconic brands, with close associations with professional concert and cinema sound. We’ve been impressed in the past by what JBL has managed to achieve with affordable models like the test …

Revival Audio Atalante 5

French-based Revival Audio was off to a flying start when we recently tested the Atalante 3 compact speakers. The elegant small speakers impressed with both craftsmanship and sound quality. And so, it was only natural that we also put the larger model to the test. Technically speaking, the Revival Audio Atalante 5 is a compact …

Sonos Era 300

Sonos is not a manufacturer that releases dozens of new products every year, but when something new does come out, it’s usually quite well thought-out and well executed. They’re rarely first with the latest, but some of their products end up setting the standard in their class. In that sense, Sonos is perhaps a bit …

DALI Kore

Dali Kore is an extraordinary speaker that sounds amazing. It’s as simple as that. You might argue that it should go without saying that it sounds good when the price of a pair of speakers is on a par with the price of a German luxury car. But to understand how a pair of Dali …

Audio Physic Spark

I was walking around the house doing things other than listening and didn’t realise the music in the background. Rohey’s five-year-old album, A Million Things, works just as well as atmospheric background music as it does for concentrated listening. But there was something about the midrange that made Rohey Taalah’s soulful vocals follow me wherever …

Audio Pro A15

We’ve already tested the A38 floorstanding and A28 bookshelf speakers from Audio Pro. Both are true stereo speakers with in-built amplifier and extensive multi-room capabilities. Audio Pro A15 is in a different and lighter weight class, namely a table speaker that can be used in places where you just need a little background music for …

Audio Pro A38

Floorstanding speakers have an undeserved reputation for being large, impractical – and associated with permanent bachelor status. Which is a shame, as floorstanding speakers often actually take up less space than compact speakers on stands. The Audio Pro A38 is a floorstander so humble in scale and design that it should be able to fit …

Raidho X1t

Danish company Raidho is known for producing uncompromising high-end products, and when they use exotic materials in their speakers, it’s because of their special acoustic properties – not just because they are exotic. One example is the voice coils in the drivers. These are often made of copper, which is an efficient conductor of electricity. …

Dynaudio Focus 30

It shouldn’t really be possible for something this small to play so loud and clear, and with a bass reproduction that you can feel in your body. You look around to see what beast of an amplifier is driving the modest speakers, and where is the subwoofer? The new Dynaudio Focus 30 look like most …

Revival Audio Atalante 3

Revival Audio is a brand new speaker brand. Not just on local store shelves, but in general. The company was founded in late 2021, and the first products have just been released. We’ve got the smaller of the company’s two models for review, a mid-sized compact speaker called the Atalante 3. Revival Audio aims to …

Audio Pro A28

Swedish Audio Pro has more than 40 years of experience in building active speakers for home use. We have tested many, and very often with good results. The Audio Pro A28 is an ultra-compact two-way speaker with built-in streaming and multi-room functionality. In fact, they’re even smaller than the legendary compact Rogers LS3/5A. The speakers …

KEF R7 Meta

I remember wondering about the claim of how much better the sound would be when KEF first introduced Metamaterial Absorption Technology (MAT). For me, the press release sounded like so many other press releases from loudspeaker manufacturers. Full of praise about how much better the new version is. So, guided by experience, I waited to …

Apple HomePod 2

It’s bigger, more powerful and plays with more energy and richness than the tiny HomePod mini. For Apple users, it’s close to the perfect speaker, and since it can be used for both music and movies, HomePod can replace both your music system and your soundbar. With two of them, you can get both stereo …

Bang & Olufsen Beosound Theatre

Calling Bang & Olufsen’s latest creation Beosound Theater a soundbar may sound like an insult to some. But that’s what the manufacturer itself calls the ambitious speaker that the B&O team in Struer has spent years developing! Soundbars are usually a pretty simple affair – a handy speaker that you put under the TV to …
