[@stevenvartanian7089]

hope they are better quality than the Beo A9 for Connection.....mine never really work....and all my friends for Bed A9 was the same, finish by selling them at low cost.....and B&O after service in Hong Kong is really bad...Still love the brand, but no confident anymore to buy it...

Noto design did the great job again after Beolab 90 & 50!!

[@webfrasse]

How would you stream highres content from something like Amazon Music or can I connect a streamer like BlueSound NODE to them?

[@bangolufsen]

Hi Mikael, Thank you for your comment and your interest in the Beolab 28. While a streaming device like the one you mentioned can be connected via optical cable to the speakers, Amazon Music can be streamed directly from a mobile device via Chromecast or AirPlay 2 via the Amazon app. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us via www.bang-olufsen.com/en/support/beoplay-contact, we are always happy to assist. Kind regards, Bang & Olufsen Customer Care

[@geraldmcmullon2465]

How to get them into set up for WiSA? If pressing it looses Wi-fi and needs setting up again. Need pulsing magenta for pairing wireless power link.

[@bangolufsen]

Hi Gerald, we are sorry that you are having issues connecting your Beolab 28 via WiSA and will be happy to help. To best assist you, please contact us here with further details on your setup: support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us Kind regards, Bang & Olufsen Customer Care

[@geraldmcmullon2465]

@@bangolufsen I was provided with the magic key to solving this on a forum. During set up the B&O App prompts to set up a television. I don't have a television. But it really meant setting up for Powerlink. The Powerlink options are for wired RJ45 or wireless. Powerlink wireless is WiSA. WiSA is not an option in the dialogue of setting up. Having selected Powerlink Wireless and going onto complete the set up of both speakers, set up Google Assistant the speakers pulse the magenta light for WiSA pairing. The WiSA transmitter has to then find the speakers. In my case an Axiim Link. After another couple of goes. The speakers meanwhile timed out and Axiim Link found no WiSA speakers. A couple of resets later and it found two speakers set up left and right. It was also the moment the B&O BL28 got the 20th March update. Only since then have I been able to play a track selected on the B&O app over DLNA from Windows Media Player Library. Beosound Emerge and Level have worked this way for a year. the beginning of March 2023 I had a lot of times when the speakers could not find the pair and both loosing connection to the network. Resetting up one speaker and the second could not be found. Eventually getting the second speaker up the first refused to connect to the network (amber light). When one speaker get the update it refuses to pair with the other speaker. When it works you hardly notice what click throughs set it up. When it does not and 40 hours later still not back to how it was is frustrating. From the computer a programme with 6 channels only played the left and right, so dialogue hardly heard. Selecting the stereo option from VLC made not difference. Volume settings from this are very loud even with the VLC, windows sound level, Axiim Link app all set to 10%. A tiny shift jumps 20db. VLC set to headphones down mixes the six channels to two correctly. Sadly for me the latency is still too high. It should be 36ms from B&O own set up guide. B&O Mozart speakers over wi-fi have a 36ms to the primary speaker and 300ms to the secondary. WiSA is 36ms to each separate speaker. It seems more, a lot more. Chromecast used to work from the Chrome Browser and from Windows Media Player. During the set up of the Beolab 28 casting to Emerge and Level stopped. Casting using "Stream What you hear" stopped working. Airplay and Bluetooth work but both have latency of 336ms. Airplay from an iPhone has no latency issues as Airplay on Apple products sort it out. TuneBlade is Airplay from a PC and has latency issues. Over three weeks not getting DLNA working from any computer I can again cast from the PC to Level but not Emerge or BL28 as they are not offered on the list but are seen as devices. Basically when it works it is wonderful. A software change fixes and breaks how they work. When there are problems it is impossible to isolate no easy way to diagnoses to solve what is going wrong.

[@loudspeaker-solutions]

what's the purpose of manual control on a remote speaker ? upper cover of technologies and design on a real sound reproduction loudspeaker offering genuine sound reproduction of recorded and broadcasted sound? hopefully price is high engough to convince those not caring for genuine sound reproduction experience at home to feel they bought excellence?

[@axelwinkel7165]

#luxussound

[@dzsam4758]

how about a soundbar from b&o? with Dolby Atmos

[@globalnomad3488]

Considering the selling price in the UK is around £10,000 they should be amazing. Really £10,000 for two speakers? Crazy or what?

@@bangolufsen Just to say that the problm has now been fixed with a local Dealer. However I will say your on line Videos and user manuals on your web site Provide no information that is useful for setting up or problem solving. Having been through this with a B&O engineer to reslove you need to review the qulity of your guides. It was not a difficult task but your documentation needs a full review to enable people to folow the simple Process. The speakers are great and NOT difficult to setup just need a greatlly improved set of documentation ( yours and ex Computer Engineer Beng Msc)

John from B&O Manchester did a much better video on these.

[@shackinternational]

lol airplay… hi fi?

[@joaoveiga3382]

Airplay 2 sounds great, I use it a lot with my Naim Uniti Atom & Focal Sopra speakers

[@pixelwash9707]

I’m sorry to say I’m not liking this new dirty gold aesthetic, or plastic black, in all the new B & O products. It goes well I guess with the slightly fussy, and kind of brutal and ugly, ‘steampunk’ aesthetic they all seem to have too. They’re not classically simple in shape, or true to the materials used. They look a bit cheesy and cheap, and won’t age well. What happened to the traditional B & O aesthetic of designers like Jacob Jensen, shared by Dieter Rams for Braun?

[@flappospammo]

I agree , in black the base looks like a sink plunger . Bno need a new designer the calibre of Jony Ive , David Lewis , JJ etc asap , their new stuff is mostly hideous

[@pixelwash9707]

Joe eoj No, B & O does not have a shop in San Francisco any more. Is there a particular reason why you think that photography does not work to depict these speakers accurately?

[@alainb2416]

Manual volume and interface control looks strangely close to some Naim products like for example muso all in one , uniti atom etc...! They could have made it look a bit different .

[@pixelwash9707]

Joe eoj Why did you ask that though unless you were implying that somehow their design style, color, and shape couldn’t be accurately judged by photography? Do you think their smell, weight or texture was important, therefore my opinions of their appearance were not valid somehow? Your question frankly sounded like a misguided attempt at belittling my opinion of the design. Why did you ask if not for that reason?

[@eimytube159]

Can you make it in real gold and diamonds placed over the touchscreen?. I think that this live is too short to spend the money that I have. I tired to spend the money to saving whales or feeding kids. Ear the real sound across a good speakers is much more important to me now.

[@albertweedsteinthethuggeni7797]

If you want a good sounding pair of speakers B&O is not the best option
