Olufsen Beosound Explore\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/26_techweek.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Its ribbed structure is covered with an anodized aluminum casing, which also makes it scratch-resistant and effectively protects it against accidental knocks.\u00a0Hence its name: it is a model suitable for explorers and adventurers.\u00a0Its shutter effect design allows the sound to come out much better and with a more enveloping effect.\u00a0But we want to talk to you about that in the next section.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound quality<\/h3>\n<p>It is one of the brand&#8217;s most &#8220;economical&#8221; speakers.\u00a0Because it is undeniable that Bang &amp; Olufsen is not exactly a brand for all audiences.\u00a0Or rather, for all budgets.\u00a0But in this case they give us a product that, without being especially cheap, does represent an entry-level range to their catalogue.\u00a0A whim that many will be able to afford if they want to try the benefits of this manufacturer on their own skin.<\/p>\n<p>The Bang &amp; Olufsen Beosound Explore offers us\u00a0\u00a0360\u00ba sound\u00a0, with spatial quality audio.\u00a0Its design influences this, but also the components that we find inside and that are precisely focused on offering us this quality.\u00a0In addition, it is worth noting that if you want to enhance its sound and its surround effect even more, you can\u00a0\u00a0pair two speakers\u00a0to use their stereo sound.<\/p>\n<p>The maximum power of each speaker is\u00a060\u00a0W.\u00a0More or less the manufacturer estimates that it is enough for a space of about 30 square meters.\u00a0Likewise, we can also use the\u00a0\u00a0customizable equalizer\u00a0so that the sound sounds to your liking.\u00a0You can use this (and other functions) from the\u00a0\u00a0Bang &amp; Olufsen app\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Inside we find\u00a0\u00a0two 1.8\u2033 speakers\u00a0.\u00a0The frequency range is\u00a0\u00a056 \u2013 22700 Hz\u00a0and its maximum sound pressure is\u00a0\u00a091 dB SPL\u00a0.\u00a0Another fact that may be interesting for the most connoisseurs of sound is its bass capacity, which in this case reaches\u00a0\u00a059 dB SPL\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Compatibility, battery and connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>We have already told you about the app compatible with this speaker.\u00a0To use it, we use Bluetooth 5.2\u00a0connectivity\u00a0\u00a0, which in turn is what is used to connect the speaker with the sound-emitting device.\u00a0Thanks to this, we eliminate dependence on cables and we can take it anywhere with total freedom.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-213782 size-full entered lazyloaded\" title=\"Bang &amp; Olufsen Beosound Explore\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/27_techweek.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And we also achieve freedom thanks to its excellent autonomy.\u00a0Its 2,400 mAh\u00a0capacity\u00a0translates into a range of\u00a0up to 27 hours of music\u00a0.\u00a0And why do we say &#8220;until&#8221;?\u00a0It&#8217;s simple: when we talk about autonomy, we must always keep in mind that it is calculated based on the results of tests in certain environments and conditions.\u00a0In the case of speakers, it is calculated with an average volume.\u00a0If you always use a very high volume, if you continually turn the device off and on, etc., the autonomy will decrease.\u00a0It is normal.<\/p>\n<p>Charging is done via\u00a0\u00a0USB-C\u00a0, so we can use any cable we have with us (it is the standardized cable).\u00a0This is super interesting especially if you plan to use it outside the home.\u00a0It&#8217;s a pain to have to carry a toiletry bag with a zillion different cables.\u00a0Charging time is approximately\u00a0\u00a02 hours\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>This speaker is Made for iPhone (MFi)\u00a0certified\u00a0\u00a0, allowing for quick pairing with Apple devices.\u00a0But it also offers us\u00a0\u00a0Google Fast Pair\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Microsoft Swift Pair .<\/p>\n<h3>Pros &amp;
