If you have a Tidal subscription DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

Incredible sound quality
Tidal connect does not work. Tracks finish early

The sound quality is the best. Very very good. Unfortunately the advertised integration with tidal doe not work. If you use tidal connect then the track that is playing will stop 20 seconds or more before the end and the next track will start, this provide a terrible listening experience. If you instead use the B&O app the playlist you choose will only play for a limited nuumber of tracks and will not advance further. It will then go back to the start. There is no choice to continue playing similar tracks. Again this is a terrible listening experience. Blutooth and chormecost obviously don't play your music in the highest soundquality which is probably why you bought this speaker and why you have a tidal subscription. Bang and Olufsen technical support will refer you to tidal after a week of sending them videos of the problem and other ineffective potential solutions which waste your time. Considering the price of this product you would expect flawless performance with every advertised streaming service, that's not what you get. Do not buy this product, you will get a better experience from something a quarter of the price.
