Bluesound Pulse Mini 2i Wireless Speaker - White

Product Information

The system also finds tremendous detail up high. It’s crisp without being brittle. In truth, this sound system doesn’t favour one genre over another, instead offering a balanced neutral tone.

The most complete powered streaming speaker available, combining Bluetooth, and multi room capabilities the PULSE 2i fills large spaces with rich, clear high-res audio. When it comes to your music, don’t settle for anything less than high-fidelity. Innovation means we use creativity, experience, expertise, and perspective as we look to the future, so that our customers can experience their music in new and fresh ways. It means we draw on our HiFi heritage - the heart, soul, blood, and sweat that have gone into oursister brands before us - to help us blaze new trails, forge better paths, and create hi-res, hi-def, high-standard products that cut through the white noise and truly stand out in the world of home stereo. Neither speaker ran out of gas with any genre of music and that’s a testament to Paul Barton’s engineering skills. PSB and Bluesound share the same design facility outside of Toronto and Paul Barton is definitely in the neutrality camp when it comes to his loudspeaker designs. The PULSE MINI 2i is more powerful and produces more detailed audio than many rival players twice its size, featuring freshly redesigned tweeters that expand the listening sweet spot. Place the PULSE MINI 2i anywhere in the home, and fi ll the space with beautifully textured, full-range sound.The extra engineering requirements of making a decent wireless speaker mean that we shouldn’t simply assume though. It sounds counter intuitive but the number of different directions that the designers of a product like this are pulled means that this is arguably more challenging than making a high end device. A Pulse 2i could just as easily have YouTube as its primary content source as Tidal. It might be listened to on axis, it might be asked to sit in a corner and fill an unconventional space instead. All this needs to be factored into the design. BluOS is a wireless ecosystem that uses a home network to connect more than one enabled device and play your music in perfect sync, or different music simultaneously, anywhere in the house. Using advanced technologies, BluOS can wirelessly transmit lossless music up to 24-bit/192kHz at lightning-fast speeds with no lag and zero loss in sound quality. The innovative mix of amp upgrades, driver re-configurations, and updated DSP settings breaths fresh life into the Pulse speaker lineup, and reflects Bluesound’s commitment to creating the best wireless, multi-room home audio experience available.

I have two complaints about the app that I think require a fix at some point; the volume slider on the desktop app is not very precise and it always feels like there is a lag between the time you adjust it and when the volume actually changes. Another issue of note is that the Pulse 2 has 80 watts of power and the Pulse 2i has 150 watts of power. The additional wattage on the 2i doesn’t seem to make a big improvement in sound nor does it allow the 2i to reach larger sound volumes without distortion.

As far as we believe, Bluesound can justify its price premium based on these characteristics, it needs to be more successful in sealing the deal eventually. We believe most people would like Sonos, and the company which initiated the wireless hi-fi category is still the emperor for now. This is a maintenance release of BluOS 4.0.2 , ONLY for Bluesound VAULT(Gen1), VAULT 2, VAULT 2i, NAD M50 / M50.2. The Bluetooth functionality built into our Bluesound Players has been a key feature ever since the introduction of Gen 2. While App integration and network streaming was (and still is) the most ideal Bluesound user experience, adding Bluetooth gave us another option for connectivity that customers craved. Having Bluetooth built-in adds to the story of simplicity and convenience that modern music lovers want. In the changing technology world, Bluesound is still fast reacting. However, Sonos is still the best option for the majority of the world’s music sources thanks to a combination of price, efficiency, ease of use, and usability. Take your leading role in the intelligent home and witness an almost flawless home audio system. Another bonus with this Gen 2i version is two-way Bluetooth. This not only lets you connect up Bluetooth music sources put also outputs to Bluetooth accessories, primarily Bluetooth headphones in this case.

And certainly there are improvements in key areas, but, while the Pulse 2i remains entertaining, it is disappointing to have sacrificed the energy and composure for which we loved its predecessor. Sadly, for this price, you could do quite a bit better in this market. The Bluesound Pulse 2i and Pulse Mini 2i excel in that respect while adding a wealth of convenience and reliability. Visit the Roon Store today to add the Bluesound Pulse 2i and Pulse Mini 2i to your setup and enjoy Roon/Bluesound sound and convenience for yourself! Perhaps the biggest disappointment of the Pulse 2i is that Bluesound should’ve carried over the two 2.75 inch midrange drivers from the Pulse 2 into the Pulse 2i. Though the Pulse 2i does sound better with two 5 inch woofers and two 1 inch tweeters the addition of the two midrange drivers would’ve added to the sound quality substantially. The 2i speaker enclosure is large enough to support the additional drivers. Multi-language support on the front panel display of NAD C 700, M10, M10 V2, M33, M50.2, T 758 V3i, T 777 V3i, and T 778.
