Beosound Theater: Bang & Olufsen soundbar more expensive than small car
The Danish Bang&Olufsen is already not known as a cheap brand, but now they are making it very colorful. Although the heart of the real audiophile who does not look at a euro more or less, will beat faster. Is the new Bang&Olufsen Beosound Theater worth the many thousands of euros being asked for it?

Bang&Olufsen Design Philosophy
As one of the few manufacturers, Bang&Olufsen focuses entirely on sustainability. Not as a marketing slogan, but as in: products that really last for decades. This product is designed for a service life of 10 years and longer when repaired. That is of course also allowed for that hefty price, around € 6000, but as a design philosophy this is something to think about, and which especially Chinese manufacturers of third-rate equipment can take to heart. Now for the sound quality.
Beosound Theatre, a next level sound installation
Where the cheapest, tinny soundbars at the Action cost around a tenner, the sound from the Beosound Theater soundbar is, not surprisingly, of studio quality. 16 different loudspeakers in the construction ensure that the sound permeates the entire room and sounds as if you are actually present at the orchestra or performance.
With 800 watts of power, and a maximum noise level of 115 dB, you come close to the pain threshold with this soundbar at full power. The spacious villa in which the average customer lives is of course a must, otherwise you will really get into a big fight with the neighbors.
Beosound Theater sails through an ocean of sound
With its sailboat-inspired design, this Bang&Olufsen Beosound Theater soundbar is also groundbreaking in appearance, although it will not fit in every interior.
These are sound systems at the top of the market. At a certain point you reach the point where only a real audiophile can hear differences in quality. According to some, the sound quality is not much better than that of competitors such as the Sennheiser Ambeo and the Devialet Dione, which cost considerably less. According to others, there is indeed a clear difference.
Good connectivity and maintainability
The Bang&Olufsen Beosound Theater can work with just about any more modern television on the market. Much attention has also been paid to maintainability. Unlike Apple, for example, everything is easy to disassemble and screw together with standard tools. Only about 50% of the computer capacity has been used so future software upgrades will be quite easy.
Conclusion Beosound Theater review
For around € 6000 to € 7000, the price for this soundbar is astronomically high, but for that you get a groundbreaking design and top quality sound. Despite all the energy misery, it is still a group of people with a lot of money, who are also willing to let this roll, and make their fellow rich go green with jealousy. In that respect, this is the perfect gadget.
The Bang&Olufsen Beosound Theater soundbar will be delivered from the beginning of October 2022, according to the product page.
