Beautiful, heavy, loud: The Beosound Balance is not just a stunner in terms of price. Fans of cultivated bass in particular will feel very comfortable with this luxury loudspeaker. The impressively room-filling sound, even at low volumes, is another plus point of the B&O solution...

Expensive, but thanks to the excellent sound, listening to music is really fun. If you absolutely have to talk in between, you can listen to Google Assistant.

... About the sound: It was almost brute what the Beosound Balance delivered in the listening test. The basses went down abysmally without becoming obtrusive. With rock, metal and pop, the power amplifiers demonstrated enormous power reserves, silky highs ensured brilliance with cymbals and hi-hat hits. All in all, an impressive performance.
