AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers appreciate the speakers' sound quality. They find the soundstage impressive, with a loud and clear audio that can fill the house with music. The digital to analog conversion produces crystal-clear sound that sounds bigger than it is. The Pulse 2i is suitable for bedroom use and can fill the house with well-mixed music. It achieves high volumes without distortion, providing deep bass and a pure midrange.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2023I like this - it is reliable (I've owned it for over 6 months) and has a nice soundstage that makes it sound a good bit bigger than it is. I use it at low volume exclusively and do not need more than mono - However, it definitely does not sound like a point source (and this is adjustable). Overall, very high quality with a reliable wi-fi connection to my home network. I have not tried bluetooth.
The app is easy to use to control it - the buttons on the top less so.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2023I read a professional review that doubted there was any value in the built in Roon compatibility. That compatibility was one of the reasons I picked the Pulse 2i over it's competition. I also have a Tidal subscription and appreciate it's built in MQA decoding. Listening to some well mixed music can sound like there's another speaker in the room (full stereo), using the 'wide' feature. I have several mid-Fi audio components, and I find the audio quality of the Pulse 2i completely adequate for my bedroom sound system. I recommend this Smart Speaker if it fits your integration needs.
Shipping box is useful if you want to take it with you on a trip
Setup is trivial, although firmware update took some time
Paired with a Li-ion AC power block it would make a good portable for camping, etc.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2023This is a well-made, well-designed wireless speaker, and for under $400, it could be recommended. But, at $800 misses the mark. What's the mark? Sound quality. There's a distracting digital quality to things when the volume is turned up. Everything sounds a bit harsh, lacking timbre, realism and smoothness. The soundstage is very impressive, but after listening for more than a few songs, I couldn't shake that "something's not quite right" feeling. Yes, the speaker was well burned in, and I have more than 40 years of audiophile experience, so I know what's what, and what a speaker is worth. Dig a bit deeper in your pocket and get the Bowers & Wilkins Foundation Wedge or the Naim Nu-so. They're also overpriced, but much more satisfying.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024This Bluetooth speaker is great. Amazing sound, achieves high volumes without distortion. Deep base yet midrange is pure. would recommend for a small to medium room or for outside use.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2023I purchased a soundbar and sub about two years ago. This simple setup seemed to work great so I decided to expand to a multi room setup and add surround sound speakers.
Huge mistake.
Since purchase and setup I have been plagued with a ton of issues that all trace back to a serious lack of thought on the software and networking side. Now for reference Im a network engineer turned cybersec architect with 13 years experience. I've been around a lot of software and networking stuff, and the choices made by bluesound are beyond pitiful.
Let's start with the basics, network connection. These are wireless speakers whose main pitch is to allow multi room setup. Bluesound clearly cheaper out on whatever chips they use, because the speakers routinely see a signal strength about 10 dBm below what every other device/diagnostic tool does. This leads to incredibly degraded sound quality on speakers that are barely fifteen feet of unobstructed Line of Sight from the wireless access point. Additionally there has apparently been a bug in how they group speakers for Dolby surround with theater mode. I've had no eta on fixing it or any details, and no contacts from any senior support people despite promises they would.
Onto the app.
Some appalling design choices here. So the speakers will cast a non internet connected Hotspot for initial wireless network config. That makes sense, you connect to the devices Hotspot and then put in wifi info so it can join the network. One problem here, the app is designed so the speakers FIRST try to find an update and get stuck in that loop BEFORE YOU CAN CONNECT IT TO YOUR NETWORK AND THE INTERNET! This essentially forces you to have to login to the config page of the speaker to configure network settings as the app has no way to cancel the update search. Additionally common sense requests from the community, like being able to add speakers to multiple groups for on the fly sound assignment (basic feature for these types of devices) has been "on there to do list" for about 2-3 years from what I can tell from the forum posts. Dozens/hundreds of requests, no real movement or change from bluesound.
As for support...
Nice enough, but it seems like it's one person or two, and they essentially just read off a basic network troubleshooting guide with heavy implication you've set things up wrong. Now given my background I was able to counter this and prove my network was not at issue, unfortunately since this seems to be all they can address that left me dead in the water with my issues around quality, network connectivity, the surround sound bug, app issues, and other random big and little annoyances.
I am heavily regretting ordering the additional speakers for my setup, and even more so on investing in this ecosystem in the first place. I am extremely dissapointed in the quality of the devices given my setup has cost around 3.5k, and bluesound does not seem to care to do much about it beyond imply I must have done SOMETHING wrong with my network config (again they can't say what because each specific they've had me check has come back fine/clean/configured properly of course) or say they're "looking into it". I would look at Sonos or Bose if I had to do this again.
One final point, I've been able to get my system barely working (frequently need to reboot or reset/resync devices) mainly due to my Profesional background, it's absurd that these devices are so poorly made with regards to the network/wireless component that it essentially requires a background in network engineering to get about 70% of the functionality you're hoping for.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2023The speaker advertises as voice control but that is NOT exactly true. You have to talk to your cellular to make it work. The Speaker does NOT have a microphone so you can NOT talk directly to the speaker. I spent 4 hours on their web site and then finally talked to Chris, the BlueSound technician, technical specialist and he confirmed this point to me on the phone. Do NOT buy this if you want to talk directly to the speaker.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2023100% Satisfied with this portable stereo. The sound can be earth shaking LOUD, its crystal clear with the digital to analog sound processor, and creates such beautiful sound. I am going to order another one, so that way I can have them sound like a theatre and a big sound stage. There are no portable speakers like this. Truly better than Bose and anything on the market like Sonos. This is clearly much more advanced and super easy to use. The phone app controls it. You can change the sound anyway you like!!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2019I felt the sound was much better on the SONOS play 3 and play 5. To be perfectly honest this speaker never drops songs the way the sonos does. The sound is good but not on the level of SONOS. However if you can't listen to the song what does the sound quality matter right? I am pleased by the speaker but just not impressed by it. Also when you turn up the volume as loud as it can go. It's not loud at all. **UPDATE** I think the new software that can be easily downloaded hits all the problems I had with the volume and sound. I updated this to 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wunderschöner Klang
Es ist so traurig, dass wir verlernt haben uns einen richtigen Klang zu gönnen! Musik aus Smartphones ist unser Alltag geworden. Wir merkten aber, dass wir von den Tönen sehr schnell gereizt wurden. Nun steht bei uns Bluesound Pulse 2i und verzaubert uns mit dem klaren Klang und jedem einzelnen Detail in dem Musikstück, was gerade abgespielt wird. Ich frage mich nur, ob die Box wirklich was besonderes wäre, oder die einfach die Musik wiedergibt wie sie klingen soll! Wir hörten die Musik den ganzen Abend und wollten nicht ins Bett, so verzaubert waren wir von dem Klang und allen Nuancen der Lieder, die wir eigentlich schon immer gehört haben.
Kurz zu App: die Installation ist wirklich pain in the A..! Wifi wurde nach dem 3. Versuch gefunden. Die Box leuchtete Blau, was bedeutet, dass sie im Netz war, aber weder IPhone, noch Samsung Geräte konnten die Box in der App sehen. Danke, dass hier jemand meinte, dass man die App löschen muss und dann wieder installieren. Genau das hat uns geholfen.
Amazon Musik funktioniert super. Spotify geht nur mit Premium Mitgliedschaft, was sehr enttäuschend ist. Allerdings kann man über Bluetooth die Musik zur Box leiten. Das klingt gut. Wenn man aber das gleiche Lied von Amazon direkt über die Box spielt, dann fällt man vom Stuhl, was für Klangunterschiede es gibt.
Musik aus dem IPhone kann man direkt über AirPlay hören. Man aktiviert das Symbol direkt beim Lied in ITunes.
Die Verbindung wurde komischerweise ab und zu getrennt. Kann allerdings an meinem alten IPhone liegen.
Die Box spielt also bei uns von morgens bis abends und wir genießen die Musik endlich wieder in vollen Zügen. Bluesound hat uns ein Stück von Lebensqualität wieder zurück gegeben. Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung!

3.0 out of 5 stars Definitiv nicht Klassenbester - Bluesound Pulse 2i vs. Denon Home 350
Ich habe lange meinen Vifa Stockholm 2.0 als Wlan Lautsprecher im Wohnzimmer benutzt. Da wir bald umziehen und mir der Vifa zu groß (lang) für das neue Zimmer ist, muss nun etwas neues her. Geld sollte nicht die Rolle spielen, bis 1000 Euro wäre i.O. Nach sehr langer Recherche und Probehören kam der Bluesound und der Denon Home 350 in die enge Wahl. Lautsprecher von B&W oder auch die KEF LSX sind schon in der Vorrunde rausgeflogen. Immer wieder bemerke ich, dass viel Werbung immer dort gemacht wird, wo der Klang von allein nicht aussreicht!!! Aufgrund der vielen positiven Bewertungen im Internet kommt man um den Pulse 2i nicht herum. Die Erwartungen sind dadurch sehr hoch. Ich beziehe mich nur auf den Klang, die Einrichtung ist heut zu Tage mit allen Lautsprechern ein Kinderspiel, hier hatte ich bei keiner Firma Probleme.
Die ersten Klänge des Bluesound waren erschreckend. Mein Sonos Roam hätte diesen an die Wand gespielt. Nach intensivem Ausprobieren in den Einstellungen hatte ich den (mich mich) optimalsten Ton der App eingestellt. Jede weitere Veränderung des EQ hätte den Klang verschlechtert. Hört man nun eine Weile nur den Bluesound könnte man wirklich überzeugt sein. Besonders ist v.a die Wiedergabe der Details. Der Lautsprecher ist ab Werk wirklich sehr Hell, fast Spitz abgemischt. Jedes Hintergrundinstrument wird dadurch um so besser und klarer herausgearbeitet. Der Bass ist absolut ausreichend aber eher neutral als fett. Schaltet man nun aber mal zum Denon 350 oder dem Vifa rüber, dann kommt der Schock. Selbst meine Frau und auch ein Freund haben im Blindtest meine Meinung bestätigt. Die Stimmen klingen schrecklich! Etwas zu viel Hall und obwohl der Hochton etwas spitz ist, kommen stimmen eher dumpf. Insgesamt wirkt der Ton eher blechern und fast wie eine Live-Aufnahme. Mein alter Bose soundtouch 20 klang im direkten Vergleich für alle 3 Personen besser. Der Sieger aller Lautsprecher war aber ganz klar der Denon. Der Bass ist ein Wucht!, nicht nur aufgebläht sondern gut differenziert und trocken. Ich habe dennoch den Bass in den Minusbereich stellen müssen, da es sonst zu viel des Guten wäre. Die Instrumente kommen sehr klar und fein rüber, wenn auch nicht ganz so präsent wie beim Bluesound. Hier war es mir aber definitiv zu spitz und aufdringlich bei manchen Liedern. Die Stimmen jedoch, sind um Welten besser als beim Pulse 2i. Man bedenke auch den Preisunterschied von 250 Euro, sowie die Schnellwahltasten direkt am Gerät bei Denon. Der Pulse ist für mich keine Kaufoption, jedoch sind Geschmäcker bekanntlich verschieden- Selbst ausprobieren, aber bitte VERGLEICHEN! Nur den Bluesound allein hören, macht keinen Sinn. Ich hoffe mein Tipp hilft dem einen oder anderen, den Denon sollte sich jeder mal anhören.
