B&O Beoplay M3: A small multiroom powerhouse
Given the brand’s reputation and the traditionally steep price of its hardware, I expect a lot from a Bang & Olufsen product. True to form, B&O’s Beoplay M3 multiroom speaker is an excellent choice— for the right set of ears. At $300, the lowest price for a B&O multiroom speaker yet, corners were cut in the name of affordability. These cuts were made in the area of audio quality. Understand that this speaker sounds very, very good. But the monaural listening experience it provides, in concert with the digital signal processing B&O employs, might be unappealing to audio purists.
A look under the M3’s grille reveals some impressive drivers.
