Detailed Test Results

Sound quality: Bang & Olufsen's P2 had fair overall sound quality. What little bass there is has little impact is subdued and deep bass is lacking. Midrange is grainy, hazy and a bit thin. Treble is sizzly and upper treble is muted. Doesn't do a good job recovering room ambience, lacks fine detail and sounds somewhat congested. A monophonic speaker. Provides a decent volume level in a small sized room but is better suited for near field listening.

Ease of use: We found the Bang & Olufsen P2 ease of use to be fair overall. Bluetooth pairing is very good and requires the press of a button, then discover with your device; but the pairing control is a an unmarked, multifunction (B&O labeled area for both power/Bluetooth pairing) button on the back of the unit. There is an indication when unit is in pairing mode and when it has paired. One of the few models which lacks volume controls.
