Nice review. I should get a pair of Rubicore 2 on monday 😉

Good looking handsome speakers

Lucky git !

I like the grilles. The Dali house sound is good. A better veneer would raise them.

I’d really like to hear your opinion about Devialet Phantom gold, in comparison with Bang&Olufsen, and you’ve heard a lot of them, and you can tell a lot of things, Thank you 😊

Nice review John, I'm a big fan of Dali speakers so I'm interested to hear how these sound - I will have to have a listen when I'm next at your store!

Hi, which acoustics do you think sounds better, beolab 8 or Sonus faber Duetto, please tell me, I want to buy but I’m confused, I’m interested in the bass and sound quality, Thank you

UNBELIEVABLE AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Px8 is rival of H95 not Hx you have to compare Px7 s2 or s2e with hx and sonos

John R U Done with Bowers and Wilson now or just doing other brands

I wonder 🤔 if they will be better or more revealing as a whole than my now old and slightly custom jobbed monitor audio GR20 , now just a two way / and not a 2.5 way . The original bass driver from them is now used for the midrange / bass . The original phased plugged midrange driver was a bit of a weak unit , and would easily deform out of shape , and the phase plug would reflect frequencies all over the place . The bass drive unit is a much tougher stronger drive unit than the midrange driver . Any kind and type of distortions coming through a whole solid piece of magnesium alloy drivers is not a good thing , ( even with 2nd order crossovers ) , as they can cause bad metal ringing distortions . But if there are no audible distortions from a source player and amplification and source material then they sound just fine . I'll have to have a listen to a pair of ATC's two way active monitor speakers to see sound wise how mine stack up . ATC actives have an absolute advantage of no possible ringing distortions from damped and doped drive units 🤔

Bang and Olufsen all the way

Hello to you…Can you do the KEF Reference 1 Meta, please? Might be nice to compare to the MA Studio 89 or even the B&W 700S S3 Signature you did awhile ago. Thank you, Cheers!

I have not heard these, but I can say, I love my Sonus Faber Lumia 2's. I like them better than the KEF LS50 Metas. The 89 is quite a bit more at $2K~ so in theory, should be better.

Another informative video John.

Another great video, thanks! But when are we getting the Gold G6 😭…….Are you getting your hands on the Sonus Faber Sonneto G2 any time soon?

Excellent

I'm totally befuddled as to how people can listen to the QB2 or even the Muso2 and say the bass is deep or powerful or even sufficient. All I can say is that these people are just not honest. The lower registers are totally and completely missing.

My Linn Sondek lp 12 with Ittok and denon mc cartridge rewired by B Torlai with Vandhull cable is almost 30 years old but doesn't look it at all

A brief and Honest review . Finally he sad it: The Level sounds more Refined! That's why i need that kind of thing to Heal my Ears.

Too expensive LP12 when I watch all these videos I understand the one I have got 25th anniversary LE for 5.000,00 GBP at that time 1997 was a true bargain

Am I wrong here, or is the SBC only (on android) as bluetooth codec a huge red flag? Even the beosound a1 gen2 supports aptx adaptive

This vid was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks for explaining all the differences Peter, its a nightmare out there! 👍🏾

Hello John, enjoy your videos, considering either getting the Sennheiser Ambio Max or Denon 8500HA and running it on 2.1/3.1 what would you recommend? Purpose mainly is for streaming music and occasional movies. Is the Denon still relevant?

I think they are hideous.

Thank you for one of the best comparison videos for the B3/C3/G3 I've seen so far! Also, a major advantage that the G3 has is a 5-year warranty vs 1-year for the C3.

Excellent presentation John. Saw these with your dad at the NW HIFI show, and I'd imagine in the right room, they would be fantastic They were definitely compromised by being right up against the wall in a 12ft square room, I'd love to hear them in a more suitable environment. Brilliant presentation, with a complete lack of waffle etc.

B3 is the best choice

How did it sound with the kef r3 meta

Hello, is it possible to use the Beoremote One as a remote control for my vintage Bang & Olufsen Speakers like the Beolab 8000 if I use the Beoconnect Core as a steaming device connected to a Beomaster 7000?

I could not live with that blue and I do wish they had at least one other wood option

Congratulations !! I have a great Linn Sondek LP12 with Ekos tone arm, Akiva stylus. Beloved Linn gave me a fantastic music for 20 years. I will accpmpany with her forever.. One thing, moving the counter weight to set zero point is very difficult & sticky. It won't against my moving. You'd better change this system to thread type.

You win over Becks!

Awesome video.

Excellent review - I have the B&W PX7 which are excellent. I was only really excited about the Sonos to pair with my Dolby Atmos Gen2 Beam. Think I'll wait...

Good review mate. No to SONOS and Yes to PX8

Kef ls50 meta vs m40?

My mum brought the PX8 and they are Fantastic. Sound Great and are good quality as I listened to them Myself. Only downside is they are a bit expensive but you have to spend more to play. Can’t beat the Bowers & Wilkins

Let me start by saying, nice review. John is always polished, succinct and a little funny, now and then. I usually agree with his assessment of most audio gear and have followed his recommendation time and time again. In the case of this particular video, I agreed with much of his analysis, but not all of his conclusions. I have listened to both the B&W and B&O headgear but not the Sonos yet. I do own audio gear from all of these companies and respect their abilities and expertise in the high-end audio world. As to the headphones by both B&O and B&W, I have listened and lived with both headphone sets for weeks at a time, comparing both to each other over that period. For my ears, the B&O sound is superior. Don’t get me wrong, the B&Ws sound great! But we are splitting hairs here when comparing at this level of both price and quality. I think most people would be very satisfied with either pair. I certainly would live happily-ever-after with the B&W pair and would never look back, that is, if I had never heard the HX headphones. The HX, to my ears, sound more detailed and refined than the B&W set. Of course I love the B&O sound profile and have a Beosound Level too, which I believe to be better than anything B&W has in that space. Long story short, I agree with John’s assessment that the B&Ws have better ANC and reach a higher volume than the HX pair. However, the sound quality, balance, detail and sound stage are superior to my ears. Thanks, John for the review. I look forward,to your next video!

Excellent video

Thank you for an awesome review. I own the PX8 and use them for international flights. They're AMAZING! Currently, I have them on hold until I return to the US and listening to this review I might pass on them. I thoroughly enjoy my PX8, clarity, ANC and the classy look is worth every penny.

I don't doubt the PX8 dominate here... because I just looked up the prices - the Sonos Ace are $799 NZD list price locally - the cheapest I can find the PX8 for locally is $1549! It's literally twice the price of the Ace! The Beoplay HX come in at $1320. So it appears you gets what you pays for I guess? Though I'd have to say B&W probably have to price their headsets through the roof due to paying for David Beckham to shill them. I generally run a mile from any brand that feels the need to use celebrities to hawk their products. Honestly though, this review does kinda seem like comparing a BMW M5 to a Bentley Continental GT - ostensibly they do the same things, but they aren't even remotely in the same price bracket.

Finally! Finally someone comparing them to the PX8s! I guess I’ll just stick with the PX8s. The really need to add full EQ support because reducing the bass also seems to take a little away from the lower mids.

Great review. However I own the Bang and Olufsen H9i headphones and think they are really good. Not heard the Bowers and Wilkins but imagine they are pretty damn good.

Great review, everything I need to know without any bias or Sonos marketing rubbish. IMO until Sonos opens up with compatibility to the other sound bar's, there's no urgency to buy them. To be honest I'm getting more and more into hi-res so maybe will look elsewhere. However switching over mode for some late night gaming is appealing.

nice review!
