Let’s play a game with everyone: find the speakers.

Comments from ifous:
Although B&O comes from Denmark, it is not quite the same as the Danish audio that audiophiles know, such as Dynaudio, DANI, Guifeng, etc. Likewise, this brand prioritizes the appearance design of its products over sound quality. Due to its excellent appearance and convenient operation, many young enthusiasts like to buy its products.
Q: If you are an old cat with a fever, would you buy B&O products?
Answer: For high-end home background music, you must buy B&O products. But if you want to go to a private high-end listening room? I would prefer something a little more traditional. After all, a serious sound field still needs to be separated, and two channels with high resolution can be perfectly displayed. In addition, multi-channel concerts such as Sennheiser, AURO 3D, atoms, etc. are also impressive, and they are more attractive to music enthusiasts than appearance.
