Bluesound Pulse 2

Bluesound Pulse 2 review: An exciting compact wireless active speaker that sounds terrific – but the Pulse 2 could be better when it comes to usability.

Excellent full-range audio performance ; MQA and High-Res Audio support ; Formidable build quality

Won’t play DSD files ; Doesn’t support DLNA or UPnP ; Considerably more expensive than rivals

No other compact wireless active speaker I’ve heard sounds quite as exciting as the big Pulse 2. Although it doesn’t live up to rivals in the usability stakes, as an upgrade on the original Pulse 2 it warrants two unqualified thumbs up.
