Outstanding speakers. A lil expensive but BB priced matched when I found same speakers.

great speaker but sometime hard to connect. Formation flex doesn’t have Bluetooth. Only for internet.

The brand speaks for itself; it's a great speaker. I have tried many brands, for this size you will really get all three levels of sound from this wifi speaker, wifi is the way to go when purchasing a standalone speaker or a stereo pair. It's an easy-to-use app with Apple airplay, it was a snap; I can't think of anything negative about this speaker, so enjoy.

For years I have been looking for audiophile level stereo speakers I could connect to my iMac for HiRes audio output. I settled on Apple HomePods, They sounded great. A bit too much bass, but good. The problem was no stereo play for youtube, Spotify, or Tidal. The would revert to mono. Terrible. Hours on the phone to Apple. "Not supported" after three levels of help. The BW formation work great! Instantly connected via Bluetooth in stereo. No problem with youtube, or Tidal. HiRes! But, bass was a bit thin. So, I bought the subwoofer. Amazing sound. Clean and not fatiging. Love them. Way too expensive, but, you get what you pay for.

Ive owned many if the B&W streaming speakers from the Zeppelin to the Zeppelin air all the way to the new formation series. They’ve had issues with electronics. Ive had speakers die, release magic smoke, glitch. These are much better. Sonos is dead simple but everything is done through their app. I use the Apple eco system for my streaming so i don’t want to use the Sonos app. B&W make it simple to use Airplay. Plus imho these soeakers are a clear step up in terms if sound quality.

Nice sound, get the Sub with it. Not as impressive as the wedge. but it provides nice sound for a small footprint

I got one flex earlier. The sound is good but not surpass other single channel wireless speakers at lower price. A week after I brought one more and set up as stereo pair, then the magic happened. It's way better than a single (mono) channel. I had other active speakers but this pair is the best in sound quality.

Great sound in such a small speaker. It will blow you away with pristine sound and impressive bass when paired with a second 1. If you pair it with the bass, it will sound like a stereo hi-fi unit.

I have the Formation sound bar and the Formation subwoofer and combination sounded very good. I decided to add the Formation Flex and wow this added so much more realism and theatre like boom and depth to the total viewing experience. The total quality is awesome. A great test was when watching Greyhound. I have a Martin Logan 7.2 Dolby Atmos system with a Marantz Receiver as a reference and I will say that the Formation system in my bedroom while not the Same as the Martin Logan’s that I have in my Media room. They are a very satisfying system in my bedroom. They’re awesome

Product is super easy to use and the sound is excellent

Absolutely fabulous, small footprint wireless speaker! Easily fills a smaller room with full sound! Great!!!

An excellent sound speaker, Good and profound sound with an easy set up app. An excellent choice compared to Sonos that is the most popular brand. All our apartment is fill with a profound, clear and powerful sound.

B&W Formation speakers are outstanding. This is my 4th speaker. I bought these to add to my current system. Now I have wireless premium surround sound without the hassle of wires and install.

These Speakers are amazing. Music sounds crisp and dialogue is crystal clear. They'd be great as a standalone speaker but I bought two of these to pair with the Soundbar (for surround), it's awesome. Highly Recommended

Absolutely epic speakers. Infuriatingly glitchy app interface. It is truly shocking and disappointing that Bowers would release this incredible lineup of speakers with an app this unreliable. Set up is clunky and that’s the highlight of the interface. Once you’re up and running, if you ever get there you’ll want to prepare yourself for perpetual speed bumps. Sometimes the sub engages with the sound bar and sometimes it decides it wants to stay asleep. Switching a speaker from Bluetooth to WiFi requires you “reset” the speaker through the app, which is like taking a 5 minute recess from recess. And if you don’t do a reset after connecting via Bluetooth the speaker will simply remain “on” for all perpetuity, which is nice. Of course this is assuming you can connect to the speaker(s) at all, which is not a mathematical certainty. As superior as these speakers are to something like Sonos I’m offended that Bowers would have the audacity to charge the kind of money they’re peddling these things for knowing full well how embarrassingly unreliable this interface is. My mind is blown.

I bought this as an outdoor, portable speaker. It does have to be plugged in to play but the sound quality is amazing. Product is sturdy and doesn’t feel cheap. Highly recommend

Very nice to have both look and function beyond expectations.

Excellent speakers, definitely a good match to my existing home theater configuration, the sound is incredible great!!!

I absolutely love the formation series and this has been a great addition to that !

A mighty little speaker. For our kitchen and 3-season porch, we've been running a Sonos Play:1 for the last 5 years. For some reason it stopped connecting to wifi and after several hours of going through the various troubleshooting steps multiple times, I gave up. The B&W arrived today. Wow! Much better audio quality. It can be grouped with other devices on our Roon platform and so far has stayed sync'd across devices. And it was a breeze to setup.
