Bowers & Wilkins - T7 Bluetooth Speaker - Black

This will be my 3rd product from B&W. Anyone that is familiar with B&W's soundstage will not be disappointed with these. It's warm and balanced sound will not leave you feeling tired after a long period of listening. In fact, it might even put a little passion/love of music back into some of your old tracks. I have to admit that the bass doesn't resonate and thump like Bose speakers do. If that's what you are aiming for, then I'd suggest you go elsewhere because these will not go that low. What you will get with these is clear and vivid sound. Back in my younger days, all I cared about was bass, the more the better. But as I grew older, my musical taste expanded to other genres. If you are the type that likes to hear instruments and vocals, these are for you. Listening to Hotel California from the Hell Freezes Over album was superb. You can hear the golden voice of Don Henley and all the strings and percussions vividly. Even the clapping of the audience was very clear and made me feel like I was sitting in the crowd. The mids are pronounced and in front of the instruments. I normally use this in the living or bedroom and it sits a good 10 feet from me. At 60% volume, it fills up the room really well. Like most speakers, you will get the optimal sound if it's pointing right in front of you and a little elevated to eye level. I've actually had these playing lying flat with the sound pointing towards the ceiling. It gives it an omnidirectional effect. Of course, it's not as great as situated like I mentioned previously. The speaker looks great with the honeycomb design and an all black color. The honeycomb is there to keep the sound from making that rattling sound you get on cheaper made units. It has rubber surrounding which keeps it from moving during playback. At 2lbs., it definitely gives it some heft. But it's compact and in my opinion, still very portable. I haven't had a chance to hit 18 hours of playback yet, so the jury's still out on that. But so far, it sounds like the advertised playback of 18 hours is believable. I know a lot of people complain that this won't charge your devices. To me, it doesn't matter as I have a portable charger that I can use if I need it. At the price of $350, they should have included some kind of carrying case/protective cover and an aux jack. Also, I wished the charging connector would have been a micro usb instead of the proprietary round plug like that found on laptops. I did like that they included 2 other plug adapters for overseas use. One thing I do have a gripe about are the buttons on the speaker itself. I wished it was lit so that I know what I am pushing in low light situations. Although I can control the volume using my phone, it would have been nice to have a dim light so I know where the buttons are. I feel that these are the best bluetooth speakers you will find in the market at this time. The overall balance and warmth of the sound will make you fall in love with music again. Definitely adds a new dimension for your listening experience. For those that are giving this unit low ratings, I am not sure what your complaint really is. It's possible that they didn't give enough burn in time to this unit or was expecting bass heavy songs to come through. If you have ever owned any B&W products, you know that's not their style. Give these a try, you will not regret it.

I've come backwards down the line. Just over a decade ago I started with Bowers & Wilkens model 600 series for my HT (604 front x 2, 602 rear x 2 and the matching dual driver 600 series center). I loved the sound and eventually bought a larger home. I picked up a pair of Nautilus 802s, HTM-1 center and 805 surrounds with DS6 'back' 6&7 channels. Powered by Krell, then McIntosh...I've enjoyed the system for a decade strong, vinyl to digital and home theater, it's the perfect marriage with SVSubs. Since then, I've picked up the P5 & P7 headphones and the 2nd generation 'Zeplin' full size 'iPod' speaker for my wife. It's irrelevant your choice from B&W. The LM1 leisure monitors or the $50,000, 500 pound Nautilus speakers...and everything in between (their sound bar while expensive has no peer). I can't recommend this speaker highly enough. We've brought it to the pool, in to the woods...it's been rained on, accidentally dropped but always enjoyed. Extensive battery life and short recharge is a nice bonus. This is truly a fantastic speaker and reviews that talk about the 'UE Boom' stick or Beatsticks, whatever they're called are ignorant to the sound of good audio. Neutral, clean, incredibly well designed and as mentioned earlier, pretty enough you want to 'take it on the run'. It'll get bruised but it won't break if you're using common sense. And it easily fills a 1,000 square foot room with clarity and clean sound in the background --- but will 'rock' when called upon. And keep in mind, it's 2"x4"x8" and two pounds. It's not going to hit 105dB @ 22Hz. Bass geeks should look at the overpriced options in the main store. Those that appreciate music and 'sound' you've found it

I had a beats pill which I LOVED until it wouldn't take a charge any more (note my brother had the headphones and the same thing happened to him). I was hesitant to buy this but my boyfriend had listened to the large speakers and feel in love with B&W. He bought the ear buds that day and I got my replacement for the broken Pill. Once I finally used this at home I was impressed by the difference bc I know my beats pill didn't sound half as good at the B&w. It gets loud, has a good base, easy to use when you read the directions. Price seemed steep but the only thing that could have made it better is if it came with the travel protector like the Beats do. I was sad to see my pill die but I'm glad I bought this instead of another pill. Sorry dre

I picked this speaker up just after it was available online, I normally always try out my audio products but my local magnolia had not yet put out a demo model (they have one now). I have always loved B&W in the past, I'm hardly ever 10 feet away from my P7s, so I assumed I would love the T7. Now I'm not a classical music person, give me some old rock or jazz over Bach any day of the week. And for that reason I just didn't get the right vibes from this device. The mids and highs were great, but nothing that I haven't heard from Harmon Cardon or Polk branded devices. But the lows were miserable, hardly any thump and couldn't carry through my rather small sitting room. I gave it my best go playing most of my favorite songs but I'm the end I returned it in favor of the Polk Camden Square.

I purchased this based on salesperson suggestion for the best wireless speaker. I went into BBY to purchase the Bose but swayed my mind to Bowers. The sound of this system is definitely nice but at high volumes I heard it get a little distorted. Secondly there is pretty much no bass. If you like and want to hear a little more boom from your speaker don't buy this. Highly suggest you listen to this Bowers speaker, and then compare it to the Bose Sound link 3, just as good with better bass. If your not into music with Bass then this is your speaker if you don't mind spending the $350. I however will be returning this and picking up the Bose Sound link 3, and its $50 cheaper, win win with the Bose.

This speaker sounds as good as their other speaker lines in similar category. The only disappointment is that no protective case was provided for use when traveling(the speaker sounds and looks so good you want to take it with you). If you care about the looks, invest in a cover/ protective sleeve. The sound is more important to me,so I can live with the worn in look. Speaker battery life is excellent and recharge rate is about an hour after it's been completely drained.

We purchased this mainly to play in my kids locker room before and after hockey games. I have found the sound production is so detailed that I now use it at my office most days. I auditioned all of the brands available at Best Buy and in the Magnolia section, this one hands down, has the best sound reproduction among any other contender. Battery life is stellar, design is appealing, bluetooth pairing is painless, sound it incredible. What more could you want? It is a massive step above any of the Bose docks.

It has a great battery life and very balanced sound. Better than bose soundlink 3, which has little boosted bass sound. Lighter weight than the bose, clearer sound than the bose. I love this product. Note that this speaker need 4-6 days burn in process. First time in use, this speaker barely produce bass, but after 4-6 days, it gives thick, clear and balanced bass with extremely clear mid and high.
