    "The sound from the Soundbar+ and Flex 2i speakers was great, crisp, and clear all day. The surrounds really shined here, probably some of the best surround sound with a wireless system I have heard to date. I think with some tweaks here and there, Bluesound will be going toe to toe with the big guys. Should you consider this system? Yes, but be aware it’s not a plug-and-play affair, it does take some effort to get it just right. If they can fix the setup woes, this will be a rockstar of a system."

    - Indiana Lang, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, July 13, 2022


    "The Bluesound PULSE SOUNDBAR+, made 'by audiophiles for audiophiles,' is one of the most versatile systems on our list, despite taking a far-from-typical shape for a 'stereo speaker.' Bluesound, like Sonos, offers an ecosystem of wireless products that can be used to build a multiroom audio system. Bluesound launched the first wireless multiroom system to support MQA Music technology, which 'folds' digital data to allow efficient streaming of high-res audio without taking up a mountain of bandwidth. A broad range of inputs and outputs, including HDMI eARC, Ethernet, and 3.5mm analog in, make Pulse Soundbar+ an ideal home-entertainment hub."
