B&O Beoplay P6 on amazon: amzn.to/2HNSmHV
Vifa Helsinki: amzn.to/2jqHRLP
Bose Soundlink Revolve+: amzn.to/2rhLhor

[@randywess1352]

Your son sure enjoy making videos with you,I'm glad to see that.

[@Broxine]

Super!, headphones arrived yesterday. This will be the first true binaural experience with the oluv's seal of trust ;)

[@alexadurrudax734]

I love how he is like " I have no idea what's in this box, now here is the only other simmilar speaker I have, so we can compare the two!" ,,,the plot thickens...

[@DaveTheBird]

Love your videos, with all the box openings it must be like Xmas for your son every day!

[@umairahmadmalik]

You are my go to for portable sound. Your reviews are genuine and your son reminds me of my younger brother when he was this age a couple years back. Thank you for sharing with us always. You have a true fan in me.

[@bredneved]

I lived your little companion. It's so nice to see the next generation participating in tech. Well done 😀

[@64north20west]

B & O almost matches Helsinki but possibly makes up for the difference with stereo. Best father & son team on youtube! Thank you!

[@antoinep9733]

🍞 The toaster would be great in the kitchen, when you are constantly moving around the room. But for sitting in one spot and jamming out to my favourite tunes, it’s the handbag all the way. 👜

[@isaacfridstrom1920]

Thanks oluv for this one! And all the others by the way! I been wating for the p6 for awhile, and I wanted to compare it against the Helsinki. 1 minute after I finished watching this video I ordered the Helsinki! Cheers mate!

[@JohnnyBeFilms]

Keep your son in the videos no matter if there's gonna be any haters - he's growing up quickly and will surely add some interesting opinion to your reviews :) Love the family vibe too! Keep it up, Oluv.

[@jukpulfer]

I love how your son is judging the speakers like "etwas zu viel Bass"

[@sudarshanmaharaj]

Ive been waiting for this.

[@phhuynh9881]

Salut je t'envoie un coucou de France,tes videos sont toujours pertinentes

[@tlc9938]

You are awesome Oluv. Hands down.

[@rodricochecitos]

vifa sounds incredible😍😍

[@DennisSchmitz]

Way better than the B&O at higher levels

[@patrickrusso2391]

Nachdem ich die meisten deiner Video’s gesehen habe und danach auch sehr viele selber gehört habe, entschied ich mich für den Bose S1 pro. Denke denn kannst du ja auch mal testen, obwohl er ein bisschen größer ist und eine Pa Box . Trotzdem auch für einen “nicht” Musiker sehr interessant. Deine Videos sind super! Gratuliere!

[@HUSSDAR]

Nice video man👍

[@georgebrowne1701]

Hi Oluv. Thank you once again for all your unbiased work, enthusiasm and valued opinion. From your reviews, for me the B&O P6 doesn’t quite cut it against the likes of Vifas or the H&K go + play. Like so many ‘of a certain age’ and many younger, I have a hearing problem. To people like me clarity is far more important than volume, size, a wide sound stage, waterproofing and to a degree price. So I love the clarity of the Vifa Oslo/ Helsinki but also appreciate the warmth and base punch of the H&K go+play, although somewhat muffled by comparison. I primarily need a speaker to play clearly at low volume - almost background levels so that I can still hear conversation. Perhaps you would be good enough to also comment on low listening levels in your reviews and advise if any of the above are suitable. I’ve also considered the Envaya and Revolve. Can you help me from making an expensive mistake?Ps. At time of writing Vifa Copenhagen 1 going for £320 and Helsinki for £175.

[@jungheepark7737]

Oh, finally!! I was waiting for this review. thank you. Would you compare p6 with addon t3 please?

[@allansoria3478]

Hi Oluv, I've been a follower of your channel since your earlier days and one of the things I like with your reviews is your music selections. It is by far very mature and more audiophile inclined than other reviewers. I would really appreciate if you can create a music bank of your test music wherein we can readily access and download for are personal use too. You can try spotify or probably in your own site together with your library of bluetooth spaker test comparison . More power !

[@bolumm]

Wanna buy P6 so find sound test video but this video makes me know Vifa and now I'm so interest of this brand!!

[@douwedevries2026]

Hi :-) I am loving your reviews! I have a little request. I have a Bose Soundlink Revolve+ myself and I did notice that the bass and the sound becomes much more full if you let it reflect against a surface, for example on a book shelf, close to a wall or window. I think it would compare much better against the toaster then. Keep up the good work. I am enjoying your content!

[@HRHKamal]

The Vifa is a clear winner; balanced, natural sound.

[@jmcc2275]

Great review as always.Would be nice to hear the opinions of your co-presenter! Do you ever test these speakers using a portable digital player and the 3.5mm socket? Tried this recently with a KEF which previously I wasn’t that impressed with. That totally transformed the sound.

[@Evan058]

If you place the P6 exactly with a 45 degrees angle in a 90 degrees corner of a room, the sound from the speakers on both side will be reflected on the walls straight into your face if you are in line with the side of the speaker, and maybe this gives you some more real stereo!

[@cuerex8580]

stereo doesn't work vertically.. or does it?

[@leopichlerjr.3175]

Tolles Video! Liebe Grüße aus der Steiermark :)

[@alval1077]

I found your channel just yesterday searching for a new Bluetooth speaker after I lost mine a years ago at the linkin park concert in Monza. I just want to thank you for all the professionalism and meticulousness you put in your reviews, and I'm going for sure to listen some of your music on SoundCloud cause i'm curious. I'm Italian by the way so if my English is not perfect forgive me. I want to ask you an advice on my imminent purchase of a new speaker... I have a maximum budget of 80/85€ and, watching your reviews, I choose to buy the soundbox XL over the anker soundcore boost and over the Douni A7...now, considering how much quick the world of the Bluetooth speaker is evolving, and the fact that the doss soundbox XL is something around 10months old or more, do you advice me to wait for a new model ? There are some rumours of new speakers for the price of my budget ? Thank you so much and sorry for the long comment haha. (I consider myself an audiophile so advice me wisely) bye 😃.

[@BillWoodJr]

The binaural sound is incredible! I thought your son was in my room!

[@matsetizar65]

Bill Wood yeah! I turned left at one point because i thought someone was saying something but it was his son

[@Justoneoftheguys]

Bill Wood yea I agree. That made me drop my phone. When his son went to the left and behind, I thought i had someone there.

[@jordanqiao4638]

As someone who just happily bought a Beoplay P6 yesterday (and I was so thrilled!!!), it was absolutely devastating to watch this video. Vifa sounds wayyyyyyyyy better. Such a pity that I currently live in a city where there are no Vifa stores :( Would've gone in to test them out if there were. Thank you for the comparison though! Super helpful, sadly.

[@ilcomendante]

You shouldn’t feel this way, if you like it - you like it, it’s just like saying I saw a better looking potential husband walking the streets the other day.. 🤔

[@daniallegacy]

10:17 "Bose sounds...like a mobile phone" Me: I trust this child's feedback & experience!

[@prs24328]

Thank you, I was curious about the new B&O and it is still amazing how superior the VIFA sounds.

[@ireneyuan5373]

I really hope that you can compare A2, P6 and Vifa Helsinki together in one video :)

[@lylesahlin5536]

Could you take a look at the audiocase as the specs looks very interesting and it looks similar to the soundboks just smaller. You can find it at thomann

[@bpestanabastos]

There is a big discount here in Portugal for today and tomorrow. I can get this speaker for 200 euros! Do you recommend it for that price? Is there any better at 200 euros?

[@Freedom89984]

B&O sounds really nice if you like the “spacial” sound. I like the bass and the balanced treble. Personally I prefer the Vifa. More direct, in your face, sound and punchy bass. The B&O “toaster” (great remark of your son! Lol) is a bit too pricey also, for what you get. Denon is still in the lead. The toaster isn’t an Envaya killer. Thanks for the first small review, enjoy the weekend!

[@eoghanhennessy15]

Can you play music through Airplay on the B&O?

[@Lauro1N]

Did you try de B&O M5? What is your opinion about?

[@00MAHABUBUL]

Which one you will choose between Sony srs xb20 or Boss SoundLink micro ?

[@LukeMtech55]

Vifa is perfection for a small speaker.

[@Justoneoftheguys]

Great video as always. To me it seams that the P6 has better bass. However, nothing beats a real life test, even with high end headphones. I have the Beolit 15 and A1. Both I love for different reasons. I wanted to get another speaker to complement both of them. I was ready to pull the trigger on the p6 until this video. In another video of yours you said you would choose the A1 over the Helsinki. That confused me

[@rossdev]

I have both beolit 15 and a1 too. The a1s sound great as a stereo pair (as do the 15s of course).Worth considering as an alternative to the p6

[@JaySJ1]

I bought it in the B&O store in Canada 3 days ago, for CAD 398 (EUR 259) At that price, Im pretty happy with it... the Helsinki is CAD 579 (EUR 375) here in Canada... I havent done a direct comparison like in this video, only heard them on 2 different occasions. Ive got my P6 kinda in the middle of my apartment, I agree that the bass can get a little weird at 100% volume, but i dont think its terrible. Its the same price here as the Revolve+, and I would take the P6 over it any day. I think its the best 360 degree speaker i've heard so far. I was actually leaning towards the Denon 250, but I just see sooo many issues with the battery and the volume bug, and that kinda scared me...

[@foxalerte1808]

Thanks for unboxing. What do I like about the natural sound of B & O !

[@erikzetterborg778]

Hi ! Nice video.Vifa Helsinki is the winner here.By the way,is it possible for you to test Ruark Audio mr1 mk2 active speakers.I think they are incredible and better than Audio pro addon t8l but also cost about 100e more.

[@rainerlampe3385]

Ist der Harman Kardon Traveler schon zum testen verfügbar?

[@matsetizar65]

Makes me wanna go to helsinki

[@airwolf1337]

The Beoplay P6 sounds good, more fresh than the Bose Revolve+. But it is missing the punch in bass, when volume goes up. The Vifa is way better there. [Reviewed with Oluv's handselected, custom EQ'ed, Superlux HD 681]

[@titirri1]

revolve+ or p6? which have more vol and bass?

[@nikolaiwithalm2754]

Can you test the Beosound 2?

[@danielwilkins938]

Any plans to review beosound 2

[@bmt22033]

Hi Oluv - any chance you'll be reviewing the upcoming DiamondBoxx L2 or XL2?

[@oluvsgadgets]

No

[@darillfow]

Since you have had the chance to test it, do you really think this tiny little speaker is worth the crazy $389.00 price tag?

[@maniw758]

Wird der neue vifa reykjavik auch getestet?

[@hannes.s3749]

Kannst du ein Review zum Beolite 17 machen. Also von Bang and Oulfsen?

[@theanorakchannel2496]

Although the bass on the Helsinki had more kick, the P6 seemed to go deeper on the B and O. Really quite like the speaker! Shame about the price though! I recently saw the Helsinki for 170 British pounds, so at that price the Helsinki is the clear winner! There are however great prices to be had on the a to active, now around 220 British pounds. The P6 replaces the A2.

[@oluvsgadgets]

It is just fake bass and special efx, the Vifa plays deeper and way more controlled, especially at high levels. At low levels even the XB20 has a similar bass response.

[@mac1529]

clavinetjunkie I do agree concerning the bass on vifa. But the problem of it is that one can only enjoy its strong bass kick on very high levels when in neutral mode, and when in late night mode it punches better than the P6 around 50% to 70% vol. More than that, it distorts... I listened to it on a store and I couldn't believe how boring it sounds... really if I need a pure natural sound I would buy something like the iloud micro monitors which are more enjoyable.

[@Rosaslav]

Are buttons clicky or mushy?

[@MrHkstudent]

For the price and size, it should a compactitor of Dali Katch, or replacement of A2. Should it being some stereo pair with another one? or All "P" serious couldn't?

[@oluvsgadgets]

It sounds better than both and it can do stereo pair with another i one, but this make it 800€, unacceptable!

[@sonudas3936]

I like ur son...and his blone hair🍀🍀

Please review the LG PH2

Hi olaf, can I ask how many languages you speak? I think its something crazy like 7, and I wanna brag about one of my favorite videographer

[@DominikReviews]

olaf speak: Polish, English, Italian and Russian

[@Justoneoftheguys]

When’s the full review coming?

[@oluvsgadgets]

it's in my database

[@Casmael01]

I recently purchased a vifa helsinki, and immediately noticed an annoying warbling sound when the speaker is turned on but not playing anything. I wondered if this is an issue others have experienced? Disappointing in what is otherwise such a lovely speaker.

[@isaacfridstrom1920]

Mine is quite! But I have seen that others had the same problem!

[@oluvsgadgets]

It is usually completely quiet. You must have got some defective one

[@Casmael01]

hmm that's odd. Thanks for the info - it's not a problem I've had with other speakers!

[@Casmael01]

Yes I suppose so. I actually purchased a second identical speaker which exhibits the same issue. How confusing. Perhaps it's a batch issue, or just a QC problem? Thanks for the info :)

[@oluvsgadgets]

Where did you buy them? This is an old error which was fixed long ago. All new units shouldn't have this.

[@GC2TEJJ]

Der B&O füllt die Lücke zwischen Bose und Vifa. Für 249.- wäre es der Hammer. Der Akku ist fast so gut wie damals beim Beolit 12.

[@HelMut-mit-Pumpe]

Ich habe das Glück und habe eine für 200€ bekommen . Ich find sie richtig nice

[@muzicaally7909]

Your kid knows what is sweet sound! Bang & Olufsen!

[@exh8049]

Hello Oluv ;) please test new Dynaudio bluetooth speakers: Music 5 and Music 3. Thanks! ;)

[@georgenatsikas832]

What is the artist in the first song I can't seem to find him, thanks!

[@rainerlampe3385]

Vermillion shazam

[@georgenatsikas832]

Rainer Lampe Thanks, I appreciate it.

[@DrummingMan1]

😔 I was optimistic that this speaker would not disappoint! Some burn in time and a full review is anticipated! Regarding the FIFA, am I the only listener that feels the speaker offers too much sibilants? Reference the first track in the comparison! Great review cheers… Keith

[@cuerex8580]

do you really expect a full dsp driven speaker like this will have things fixed with a minor method like the burn in myth? the speaker is indeed bright but you can probably change that with the beoplay app

[@mac1529]

Cuerex he spoke about the Vifa and not the B&O. And indeed the Helsinki is too bright at late night mode.

[@fabianbrandt11]

Ich würde mich über ein Video zu dem Beolit 17 freuen Ich hab überlegt mir den P6 zu bestellen aber nach diesem Eindruck bin ich nicht mehr ganz überzeugt

[@oluvsgadgets]

Der Beolit ist noch mehr Fake.

[@metroishereyt6662]

Can't wait for the jbl xtreme 2, is coming out in late May

[@oluvsgadgets]

big disappointment

[@metroishereyt6662]

clavinetjunkie no

[@oluvsgadgets]

so far all their speakers were.

[@metroishereyt6662]

clavinetjunkie it's atleast better than this overpriced company

[@oluvsgadgets]

keep on dreaming

[@GC2TEJJ]

Der Hammer wäre 2 Toaster mit einer fetten Powerbank. In Stereo fand ich bei ca. 40% Lautstärke sehr sauber, und das ist fast so laut wie ein Einzelgerät bei ca. 60% (wo dann bei Digibässen die Artefakte abgehen.) Bei 40% hält der Akku schon 8-12h je nach Musikrichtung. Mit Powerbank kann der Grillplatz den ganzen Tag beschallt werden. 2 P6 €798.-(eventuelles noch eine Powerbank) und ein iPhone X 256GB €1339.-im Louis Vuitton Rucksack €1799.- Damit kann man das Ghetto beschallen. Der Preis ist echt überzogen... B&O Apple LouisV.... eine Liga preislich. Egal, dem fan ist es wohl egal... Für den finalen Test, 30-40 Stunden einwalken lassen, er wird deutlich schöner! 2 A1 sind übrigens auch schon klasse! Und die bekommt man in „Bezos Buchladen“ schon um 150-160€

[@oluvsgadgets]

Ich würde 2 minirig minis mit sub nehmen, kostet weniger als 400 und spielt 2 P2 an die wand.

[@ATremellia]

Anyone knows about the battery life of the P6? I have the A1 and the battery sucks.

[@oluvsgadgets]

I got less than 2 hours at maximum. it seemed quite bad to me, played just at lower levels for 2-3 hours and battery was at 60% already

[@cuerex8580]

i heard the P6 myself in Saturn store. i found the sound too algorythmic/unnatural for my taste, it has this sizzleing highs of the beolit series which renders everything so dull. it basically has much more in common with the beolit series than the A1 for example

[@oluvsgadgets]

And has this bose type of bass

[@cuerex8580]

yeah probably different divisions of the field testing at B&O with different people tuning the sound. if only the executioners of the A1 could reintroduce a sonic boom again like that. a Reykjavik would easily outpace it, if it wasn't for the audiophile giggles it spits in conjuction to a lesser emphasized fun signature which works better anywhere and would amaze anyone.

[@eennzzyymm]

Bo chodź to niepowszednie mam taki zwyczaj, że sypiam we dnie.. 😂 Pozdrowienia z Polski 🇵🇱

[@kopfsteinpflaster56]

Ein Musik Toaster hahahahaha ^^

[@bhupeshbhatia3990]

Vifa all the way 😃😃

[@mac1529]

Bhupesh Bhatia only from 50% to 70% at late night mode... and with neutral mode at 80 to 100% with little distortion. The p6 does not sound tiny at max. The vifa is too boring. Even oluv said that he prefers denon 250 over the bigger vifa Oslo for normal levels listening.

[@bhupeshbhatia3990]

M ac Agreed!!!! But Vifa outperforms the most ☺️

[@vandervalkbob]

Vifa wins... Flawless victory...

[@GC2TEJJ]

Kann man die Vifas Stereo paaren. Ich habe im B&O Store zwei stereo gehört. Irre!!!! Grosser habenwollen-faktor! Ist erstaunlich wie die Designerin es immer wieder schafft den Geräten ein Gesicht zu geben. „Picknicktasche bzw. Kühlbox“ beim Beolit, „Puk“ beim A1, oder nun „Toaster“ beim P6. Das kann man mögen, oder ist eher peinlich. Wobei Bose mit dem „Milchkännchen“ auch mal was kultiges gelungen ist. Der kleine Bruder Revolve ohne + klingt recht lahm. Der mit dem Henkel ist schon gut.

[@buckmoreino5089]

This sound better.. your son says...i agree too guys...😃

[@vaishakcmattayil]

Two a1 or one p6?whats your choice?

[@oluvsgadgets]

neither of these

[@vaishakcmattayil]

clavinetjunkie can u pls suggest me one of the best Bluetooth portable speaker u ever tested?

[@oluvsgadgets]

I assume the Diamondboxx L2 should be pretty cool, I only had the Model M which was already impressive, the XL is stretching it a bit too far I think. Apart from that the Vifa Oslo if you still need it compact.

[@vaishakcmattayil]

clavinetjunkie thank u

[@brendonching7952]

with smaller Beoplay speakers (A1/P2), the battery life on high volume is very poor. a lot lower than they advertise it.

[@ricarfusilero9380]

Try the new jbl clip 3 thanks

[@arthurgabriel1719]

In Brazil cost 939 dollars :'(

[@newcrazy7286]

lg rk8 vs jbl boombox vs aiwa exos 9 waiting for the video

[@oluvsgadgets]

Haha will be a long wait

[@virginalarm3098]

Vifa more balance sound

[@GC2TEJJ]

Der Vifa Helsinki ist (fast) doppelt so gross, da sollte er mehr „punch“ haben. Bei 808/909 bzw. modernem Kickbass ist der böse Effekt wieder da.

[@oluvsgadgets]

Er ist nicht doppelt so groß 1,4kg vs 1kg. Der P6 ist dicker.

[@pathania]

i like this video .. best judge your son.

[@manny7656]

Hi ich suche einen Lautsprecher etwa in dieser Grösse mit Ausgewogenem sound für einen längeren Urlaub. Ich weiß: zimlich schwierig xD aber hat jemand noch einen anderen Vorschlag?

[@oluvsgadgets]

Denon

[@manny7656]

clavinetjunkie Danke für die Rückmeldung ich hab schon öfter was gefragt und habe jedes mal eine Antwort bekommen find ich echt cool. Ich werd mir den Speaker anschauen kannte ich bis jetzt nicht.

Endlich noch so ein barfüßler wie ich👌

[@user-mj4bb6ln8y]

好东西

[@martinlavric4955]

it sounds nice,but not for 400$

[@mlsterlous]

actually not even for 100$, if you mean just any speakers, not only portable. You can buy proffesional monitors for 100$-200$, which will make those portable toasters look and sound like a joke.

[@arunashamal]

how are you going to carry your professional monitor around with you genius?

[@arthurgabriel1719]

In Brazil cost 3.909RS or 939 dollars

[@chordeater8417]

Nah, Helsinki is unbeatable!

[@MarceloTezza]

Really decent speaker, certainly its overpriced like all bang olufsen products, still i think its more comparable to vifa than bose in sound quality.

[@uatest13]

Really wanna see a comparison with a2 active...

[@oluvsgadgets]

I sent it already back

[@baddriversofcolga]

Does your son speak any English yet?

[@NietonoNoShana243]

prob "yes" and "no"

would be cool if you'd putt them up against the "smart" speakers from apple, google and amazon.

[@thomascampr]

[@glauberfranca7275]

does not pay Nobre Linguiça! for that price, no way..
