Bowers & Wilkins T7 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black





Not even worth half of the asked price
My expectations for the T7 were extremely high when it was announced. My hope was that the highly regarded audiophile brand B&W finally managed to build a perfect portable speaker. The specs were promising, so I directly ordered one from the B&W store to have a listen.
To spoil all the suspense I already contacted B&W for a return label, because the T7 is one of the most disappointing speakers I have heard during the last years.

It is not bad sounding per se, but you can meanwhile get better performance for less than half the price.
Maybe it took B&W so long to design this speaker with their questionable "Micro Matrix" which doesn't seem to be of any use, so that they forgot to look at what the competition has to offer in the meantime.
I have heard nearly all available portable speakers from many different companies, but the T7 seems to be just another one of those without improving on any of the aspects where portable speakers suffer from which rely solely...

Great speaker
I have had this speaker for a couple of months. I have also had hands on experience with the bose Soundlink 3 as well as the B&O Beoplay A2 . I can honestly say the T7 is the best but ill explain . 1st the Bose is a great speaker with the ability to give good bass which is it's strong point as well as its weakness. It's capable of very clean bass but times can be very muddy with bass over doing the vocals . I found this was great for playing games which added to the gameplay . I'm not a big gamer but I can see how this would be beneficial to game play .
I found the beoplay A2 had a very clean sound as well as the T7 . They both had very clean bass and never had that muddy sound I found with the Bose . Maybe never achieving the bass like Bose but as I've said that can be a good and bad thing.
What we have to realize is that these speakers will never take the place of a bigger bookshelf speaker but placed in the right position they do a pretty great job as trying...

B&W brilliance in a very small package
Unbelievably good. I've been a big fan of B&W speakers since the 70s, when I bought a pair of DM7 speakers. I later upgraded to a pair of Matrix 1E and am still using them. This little gem is worth every penny. I have previously used the Bose mini sound link which is very good, but the B&W beats it hands down for depth, clarity, pure sounding bass and battery life.
My only complaint - as yet no one has brought out a carry case. C'mon people this speaker deserves a really nice carry case!!
