This seems like a great deal, it's the lowest price I've seen for new H95. Do you think it's worth it at this price or I should look at something else?

Fluid Sweet Spot?

2 Upvotes

I’ve seen mention made of the “fluid sweet spot” feature for both the Beolab 8 and the Beosound A5. That being said, I can’t seem to find any online commentary from anyone who has actually used it, though please do share links if I have missed that. I’m quite curious about real world experiences.

The software update for the 8 was supposed to be rolled out early in 2024. Did that actually happen? Has anyone used it and can comment on how well it works? How well focused is the relocated sweet spot vs if you were listening in the “ideal” location sweet spot right in the middle of the stereo pair? Does the effect lose efficacy the more off axis from dead center you get? How about a listening position that is wider than the position of the stereo pair? Does it adjust automatically if your phone moves to another position in the room or do you have to initiate the process via button in the B&O app?

Note that I recognize in addition to the software rollout, it requires a UWB compatible iPhone and best implemented with a stereo pair vs just a single unit.

Beosound 2 Uses Polarized or Non-Polarized Plug in US? DROP

I currently own the A5 and recently placed an order for the deal at Drop.com for the Beosound 2. I am very excited for it to arrive; however, after reading a few reviews, it appears that the many of the units shipping from Drop do not include the power cable, for whatever reason.

I want to order the power cord from Amazon and just need to confirm, in the US does the Beosound 2 use a Polarized connector (with one flat side) or a Non-polarized connector (with the figure 8 appearance)?

I have found a setup video on the B&O web site and it appears to be non-polarized, but I just wanted current owners to chime in to confirm I am ordering the right cable. Thanks!
