Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great sound, not intuitive to set up and the instructions that come with the device are almost none at all. The instructions tell you to download an app that does not exist. The needed app has a different name than the app mentioned in the skimpy instructions.

the overall sound is full with timbre treble and bass but for such 8 times the google hub there is no voice command like alexa or google for your next song is surely a miss. the app is weak not very helpful. no on off button or next song is surely a bad point, plus it is can not mix or match to the other brand of speaker , it is limit with b&w speaker like sonos ecosysytem. just for the sound is great but need to be more catch up to the modern world in voice command and need som input , output for auxillary for grow to preamp , turn table or receiver

I love the sound from this speaker. Had a minor issue getting the app installed but once you get the app running it works like a charm. Highly recommended!

So I bought this to replace my Definitive Technologies Bluetooth speaker that just stopped working. When I got it I set it up and was very impressed with this speaker. It really filled the whole main floor of our house and sounded amazing. I started to have some issues with the app and the speaker linking to the internet and to my phone. I did a reset on the speaker and I deleted the app so I could start from scratch and reprogram everything. When I went to the App Store the app was no longer available. I continued to check for the app for several days and found out from B&W that they were having issue with the app and pulled it off to fix it. I didn’t pay that much for a speaker that I can’t use so back to the store it went. Good luck with this app.

I’ve owned Sonos, HEOS and tried Bluesound. After extensive online research, I’ve decided to switch to Formation line and Wedge is my first entry. The sound quality is awesome and exactly what I’ve been looking for. Crystal clear sound with good audio separation. Bass is decent but not exaggerated. One of main competition for this premium price range with high reputation is Naim Muso series which supposedly has better bass. But clear sound is more important factor for me and in this regards reviews say Wedge has its edge. Also, Formation line has Duo or Flex to give true stereo separation if I ever decide in such need. Or if somehow I need more Bass I can always get Formation Bass. The reason Formation line as a whole has not received the best review is due to its app. Setup is super easy and fast but you can’t do much. In fact as of today you can’t even play music from the app. For HiRes audio on Apple device we need Roon as Airplay 2 only capable of CD quality. Currently, there is no Alexa or Google Assistant support. Other than GA, B&W promised to change these in near future but they should have done it from the start to get better reputation. I can only imagine they’d have received top notch scores and awards from many review sites otherwise. Also lack of wired input may appear disadvantage to some. Technically speaking, Wedge has Airplay 2 and Bluetooth Apx HD so these two types of wireless connection allows you to play/connect pretty much anything from most recent electronics. One may wish Chromecast support so it would have made this full wireless connectivity. Regardless, If one absolutely need Wired connection like Aux input, one can purchase formation Audio. The claimed latency is merely 40 ms (according to B&W rep) which is far better than Direct connection Sonos Play 5, HEOS bar, Sonos playbar or Bluesound. So overall, if you are looking for the best sound quality in multiroom wireless speaker platform, this is it. But if you can wait, perhaps wait until updated app release in second quarter may be the best unless you already have or plan to subscribe Roon otherwise you won’t get the best performance from this.
