The drivers on these speakers feature B&O's patented Acoustic Lens Technology. This delivers audio in an almost spherical format designed to emit and spread sound throughout your room. Sounds perfect, right?

The right speaker for your room entails not just sound quality. Its aesthetics play a vital role in the atmosphere it lends to your space. The first thing you'll notice is that these speakers are both meant to stand out, not blend in. The futuristic, unconventional lines and shapes almost give them a sculpturesque vibe. A solid aluminum exterior and finishes are available in silver or brass, giving a stately look that leaves no doubt of their high-end audiophile heritage. This is a problem because it means that Spinorama alone, unfortunately, won't give us all we need. Placement and reflections play an equally important role there too.Beoplay A9 is able to crank out much stronger sound output (almost TWICE as much as Beosound 2) and it also looks prettier to most ( this Nordic Ice Kvadrat color is especially liked by many - including me) Lastly, both speakers require full power all the time. Disregard the Beoplay A9 outdoors image above where you can't see any cables whatsoever! Moving on, as mentioned earlier into the post, Beoplay A9 produces stronger sound output than the Beosound 2. Beosound 2 propagates the sound much better (almost TWICE the angle of Beoplay A9), and is also much more portable, much more versatile and a little bit easier to use.

Two-way communication between BeoSound 2 and the computer allows BeoSound 2's software to be updated simply and easily. In this fashion, BeoSound 2 endures as an up-to-date and relevant music player, benefiting from the rapid evolvement of the Internet-based music arena.Here's the Beosound Edge vs Beoplay A9 vs Beosound 2 chart: https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/us/comparison/products?slug=speakers&p1=beosound-2&p2=beosound-edge&p3=beoplay-a9 The primary user interface is located on a disc-shaped surface on the top of the speakers. This is where you access to power on/off, activate voice control for Google assistance, and volume control. Beosound 2 also offers an absolutely stunning sound. Using our Acoustic Lens Technology, the tapered speaker creates a 360-degree sound image that fills the entire room wherever you place it. The acoustic lens spreads the high frequencies of the sound in a horizontal range to cover a wider listening area while reducing floor and ceiling reflections. If you move around the room, you will find that Bang & Olufsen sound remains unchanged. The lens is beautifully crafted in extruded aluminum. Carefully processed and acoustically well thought out. I'm also told that although these previous revisions are discontinued, customer support is still being delivered for them.

He didn't perform any of the measurements himself, and instead he compiled all of them into one place, so that makes sense.
