B&W T7

The T7 is the first battery powered Bluetooth speaker from Bowers & Wilkins (B&W). The English manufacturer of Hi-Fi acoustics positions its model as a "mobile Hi-Fi".

Looks good, sounds great

The B&W speaker has small dimensions — 114x230x54 mm. At the same time, two 50-mm speakers and two passive radiators of comparable size are installed in its case. Compared to other portable Bluetooth speakers, the T7 has more power (24W) and a wider frequency range (58Hz — 19kHz).

Reviewers in many publications have found the B&W mobile speaker to have the best sound quality in its class. The device with its detail, balance and musicality of sound surprised even experts testing Hi-Fi equipment. Moreover, when working at high volume, T7 does not lose control over low frequencies, as is usually the case with compact acoustics. And the best result is achieved with gadgets that support Bluetooth AptX.

Record-breaking battery life

The B&W T7 lasts up to 18 hours on a single charge. Given that many competitors operate for about 10 hours and the high power of the T7, this is an excellent result. On the other hand, the speaker is relatively heavy — its weight is 940 g, and not 500-600.

The B&W speaker is powered by the mains, which is a rarity for portable models. Therefore, T7 is convenient to use not only on the road, but also at home. But recharging from the USB port is not implemented in this model.

The main disadvantage of B&W T7 is the high price, which is inherent in the company's products. But behind the high price is a much more important advantage — the highest sound quality. The speaker will be in demand not only on the road, but will also become a wonderful decoration for your living room or office. Moreover, it will decorate the room both visually and acoustically.
