- Beosound A9 (5th Generation) - Iconic and Powerful Multiroom WiFi and Bluetooth Home Speaker with Active Room Compensation, Black Anthracite

Easy to set up and connect to Wifi. I still don't quite get the mystery buttons on the back but whatever. Filled a giant room in my house with deep yet crisp sound. Sounds great cranked up, but still retains depth at normal listening levels. In the words of Ferris Bueller "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

I’ve had the Beosound A9 (5th Gen) for a little while now, and it continues to impress me every day. The iconic design is a statement piece in the room — sleek, minimal, and truly eye-catching. It looks more like high-end furniture or artwork than a typical speaker, and it blends beautifully into my home. Sound quality is everything you’d expect from Bang & Olufsen: rich, clear, and powerful. The bass is deep without being muddy, the mids are warm, and the highs are crisp and detailed. What really makes a difference is the Active Room Compensation — it automatically adjusts to the acoustics of the space, so the music sounds balanced whether the speaker is against the wall, in the corner, or more open. Connectivity is seamless. Multiroom WiFi and Bluetooth work flawlessly, and it integrates smoothly into my setup. I’ve streamed everything from quiet background music to full-volume parties, and the A9 handles it all effortlessly without distortion. Yes, it’s an investment, but this is not just a speaker — it’s a centerpiece that combines art, design, and world-class sound. If you’re looking for something iconic that elevates both your space and your listening experience, the Beosound A9 is worth every penny.

I am not an audiophile, but I do value quality audio and I have a significant investment in home AV. I'm renovating a patio and looking for quality outdoor audio and it does not exist, IMO. I decided to buy this A9 to use on the patio and I could not be happier with the audio quality. I have other outdoor systems with multiple custom speakers and they do not fill the space with the same clarity and bass. It's almost too easy. I realize that the A9 cannot live outside, but for this level of fidelity I'm happy to move it back and forth as needed. I'm considering a second and a third, I'm that pleased with the performance. That said, it's pricey. at $3500 it's painful, but over the years I've spent much much more to try and achieve this level of musical enjoyment poolside and failed. I think I could buy one more and still consider it money well spent, TBD. Update: I'm still enjoying the A9 but the current price of $4500 each is ridiculous. I came back to get a second one but can't make sense of the 30% price increase.

The beosound level has actually better sound than this unit at half the price. This is a beautiful piece great architecture and the sound is certainly good but nowhere near the value for the price. There is a crossover point between paying for a high-end feature and benefit of a product and the actual delivery of those features and benefits. The beosound level delivers 100%. Unfortunately, this unit just doesn’t.

A bit cluncky forcing you to use their app. Doesn't work with pandora if yiurna pandora dan in the USA.

Alright, first thing's first. If you're in the market for a Bang & Olufsen because either money is no object, you have a very high budget, or you have aesthetic and decorative concerns. If you are looking for the highest possible sound quality, with no other concerns, you might consider another option to save money. This high price tag isn't going toward all sound quality. (Though it certainly isn't lacking. More on that in a moment.) Without dragging it out, what are you getting that is unique to the Beosound A9? Beautiful design. This is a unique, and absolutely stunning design. You could put this in any room, and unless you point out that it's a speaker, the average person won't even recognize it without prompting. I tested this with guests. Even with pointing to the room, it took a minute to find the speaker. If you're butting heads with a spouse because you want a gaudy, powerful speaker, and they want something subtle, well... this may just be your middle ground. Build quality. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was that 5-letter country of manufacture. China? Nope. Czech. This looks, and feels, like the sky was the limit on built quality. Everything about it screams TOTL with look and feel. Even sliding your fingers across the metal feels smooth and flawless. It's the luxury car of speakers. Build quality matters. I'm not in the least bit concerned about physical driver or frame failures. Sound quality. Okay, I mentioned earlier that you could spend your money more efficiently if you only care about sound quality. You could get a pair of high-quality tower/floor speakers from reputable brands for half this price. However, I can tell you that these sound about as good as most people could ever tell or would ever need. The bass is almost shockingly deep and rumbly, reaching all but the very lowest registers. I mean 20hz and under. A depth most people will not care about, and very few speakers could ever reach without the help of a subwoofer. Super punchy, and very responsive to the app's EQ. Midrange and treble require no adjustment at all. IF you did decide to adjust the treble, you could. You have quite a broad sweep for both bass and treble in the B&O app. Truly awesome sound quality. And that's with Bluetooth. Which, incidentally, is also the reason for that 1-star deduction. Bluetooth. I considered requesting a replacement for this reason. Still am, actually. However, I've come to the conclusion that this is probably just a shortcoming of these units. One I hope is fixed with firmware. IF, or WHEN you get a stable connection without all the wackiness, it sounds amazing. As good of a Bluetooth connection as you can hope for. However, here's what usually happens: First of all, some devices are requiring me to completely delete and pair again EVERY time I want to listen to the speaker. It'll connect, then disconnect, repeatedly until I completely redo the pairing process. For other devices, like my phone, it will reconnect, but even with the app open I get crazy volume fluctuations. Even when I set the volume default in the app. It seems to totally ignore it and roll a digital dice instead. Sometimes I'll hit play and it'll blow the windows out. I'll scramble to turn it down before my eardrums melt. Other times, I'll question if it's even connected, only to realize the volume is so low I literally can't hear it (even with my phone at 50%). I'll have to get up, walk over to it, and manually turn up the volume. For this price tag, this is hard to swallow. I'm giving B&O the benefit of the doubt that this'll be fixed. Also, once a good connection is established the volume is tuned, you are ready to sit back and enjoy one of the best listening experiences of your life. Should you buy the B&O Beosound A9? Yes... maybe. If one of the first few factors I mentioned are among your primary concerns, this is a stellar option. Possibly a TOTL option for you. It's built like a luxury tank, looks absolutely beautiful and modern, and sounds quite good. Sound your -only- concern? You could do better for the price. For the right person, in the right home, under the right circumstance? Highly recommended.

I love the balance of the sound on this speaker. Unlike the previous versions, this one has bass power and just the right amount of treble and voice quality.

There was not enough information provided with the speaker. I spend a lot of time getting connected. An app is provided, but I still spent too much time figuring out how to use it properly.

Amazing quality sound with a sleek design. Not sure why the bad reviews are there. Connects to your phone via WiFi not Bluetooth so your calls and social media scrolling sound doesn’t come through the speaker which is fantastic.

The Beosound A9 is more than just a speaker—it's a sculptural masterpiece that delivers exceptional hi-fi sound wrapped in iconic Danish design. With its latest generation, Bang & Olufsen has not only maintained the A9’s signature room-filling audio but also solved previous connectivity concerns, making it a seamless part of any smart home setup. The sound performance is outstanding. Whether you're listening to jazz, classical, or high-bitrate electronic tracks, the A9 offers deep, controlled bass, crystal-clear mids, and a beautifully wide soundstage that rivals traditional multi-speaker hi-fi systems. It’s immersive, powerful, and refined—exactly what you’d expect from a premium Bang & Olufsen product. Where older versions had occasional Wi-Fi or AirPlay hiccups, the newest A9 now features improved wireless stability, multi-room support, and effortless pairing via AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth 5.3, and Spotify Connect. Setup is smoother, switching between devices is instant, and lag or dropouts are now a thing of the past. In summary, the Beosound A9 isn’t just a speaker—it’s a centerpiece that combines true high-fidelity performance with intuitive, stable connectivity. For audiophiles who value both style and substance, this version finally checks every box.

Wahnsinnspower, 1500 Watt. Tolles Design. Phantastischer Preis.
