There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I was able to unpack, connect, and "group zones" within 15 minutes. You will have hi-res music playing from your main system, other Roon devices, and this wonderful system completely in-synch without any fuss. Sound quality, for both CD and hi-ressources, is incredible.
I noticed most negatives review pointsfor this system are based on the user interface.
It's a side point, but Roon solves them all, including up-sampling CD resolution files to hi-res, DSP, and seamless multi-zone control.
Don't have Roon? The Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i software still offers an incredible amount of options to listen to online streaming services, other networking, usb sources, and beyond. I tried the Bluesound interface briefly and didn't find it to be bad at all.
Build quality is exceptional... and again, the sound is amazing!
Highest of recommendations.
Huge mistake.
Since purchase and setup I have been plagued with a ton of issues that all trace back to a serious lack of thought on the software and networking side. Now for reference Im a network engineer turned cybersec architect with 13 years experience. I've been around a lot of software and networking stuff, and the choices made by bluesound are beyond pitiful.
Let's start with the basics, network connection. These are wireless speakers whose main pitch is to allow multi room setup. Bluesound clearly cheaper out on whatever chips they use, because the speakers routinely see a signal strength about 10 dBm below what every other device/diagnostic tool does. This leads to incredibly degraded sound quality on speakers that are barely fifteen feet of unobstructed Line of Sight from the wireless access point. Additionally there has apparently been a bug in how they group speakers for Dolby surround with theater mode. I've had no eta on fixing it or any details, and no contacts from any senior support people despite promises they would.
Onto the app.
Some appalling design choices here. So the speakers will cast a non internet connected Hotspot for initial wireless network config. That makes sense, you connect to the devices Hotspot and then put in wifi info so it can join the network. One problem here, the app is designed so the speakers FIRST try to find an update and get stuck in that loop BEFORE YOU CAN CONNECT IT TO YOUR NETWORK AND THE INTERNET! This essentially forces you to have to login to the config page of the speaker to configure network settings as the app has no way to cancel the update search. Additionally common sense requests from the community, like being able to add speakers to multiple groups for on the fly sound assignment (basic feature for these types of devices) has been "on there to do list" for about 2-3 years from what I can tell from the forum posts. Dozens/hundreds of requests, no real movement or change from bluesound.
As for support...
Nice enough, but it seems like it's one person or two, and they essentially just read off a basic network troubleshooting guide with heavy implication you've set things up wrong. Now given my background I was able to counter this and prove my network was not at issue, unfortunately since this seems to be all they can address that left me dead in the water with my issues around quality, network connectivity, the surround sound bug, app issues, and other random big and little annoyances.
I am heavily regretting ordering the additional speakers for my setup, and even more so on investing in this ecosystem in the first place. I am extremely dissapointed in the quality of the devices given my setup has cost around 3.5k, and bluesound does not seem to care to do much about it beyond imply I must have done SOMETHING wrong with my network config (again they can't say what because each specific they've had me check has come back fine/clean/configured properly of course) or say they're "looking into it". I would look at Sonos or Bose if I had to do this again.
One final point, I've been able to get my system barely working (frequently need to reboot or reset/resync devices) mainly due to my Profesional background, it's absurd that these devices are so poorly made with regards to the network/wireless component that it essentially requires a background in network engineering to get about 70% of the functionality you're hoping for.
Bluesound’s support web pages have always been illogical, out of date and poorly maintained. My first search for doing a factory reset led me to a manual for the Pulse Mini 2i which must’ve been outdated as the light sequence didn’t match what it said it should do and I wasn’t able do a factory reset with those instructions. I searched “Pulse Mini 2i factory reset” again, and it gave me instructions for resetting a sound bar, which I tried, and it actually worked. This process only took about a half an hour to get a successful reset.
Following the instructions for setting up a new device on the app had me trying to find a Wi-Fi hotspot it creates to be able to do the setup. It never showed up so I plugged it in to my router ethernet directly and tried again. It finally showed it was now connected and ready to setup. I completed the setup and started playing music… still no sound from the speaker.
I left it along while trying to find info about the warranty, as I bought this about a year and a half ago, and even that is hard to find on their website or even a Google search. I finally stumbled upon something that said it was one year and that a lot of other people were having the same “no sound problem” with this speaker, finding others being quoted about $350 for getting it repaired or a 25% discount for a new one. I was doing other searches on my iPad, and about half an hour after I quit trying to make the speaker work, it’s suddenly started playing the music I had left running on the app. That lasted about a half a minute, then it quit again. I tried shaking/ hitting the speaker to see if it was a loose connection to no avail. About 10 minutes later, it started again on its own and kept playing. I disconnected the Ethernet cable and setup the WiFi again (again slow to connect). It’s been working fine ever since (about 45 minutes).
TL;DR - although a nice sounding speaker (better then Sonos), it can be flaky and the support is awful. I can’t recommend it.
