Review: Naim Mu-So 2 Sets the Bar For Connected Hi-Fi Speakers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 янв 2020
- Naim has entirely overhauled the second-generation Mu-So from the inside out. The outside may look similar, but inside is more bass, an amped-up DSP, more output, better connectivity, and more. Take a look at why the Mu-So 2 is the most capable all-in-one Hi-Fi speaker around.

Do you guys have anything in the budget for multiple audio takes? This guy needs to enunciate more thanks hope this helps have a Great weekend all 👌
can you use a blu ray player in combination with the mu so 2 connected to the tv?
Insane sound. Would love to listen to it with muso subwoofer. One doesn’t need it tho. I am waiting for some major sale. $1700 is a bit too much. I’ll buy it in a heart beat for $1000-1200.
Does Amazon Music work with this please?
Can you make a comparison between the Dynaudio music 7?
If only they could fix their app for the Uniti line.
30% of my inputs aren’t registered because the Atom freezes.
Something about their app framework is seriously flawed.
Otherwise amazing product and sound, i am sure this one is up there as well
Will these companies ever get their software right? I own Bluesound Pulse 2i speakers and they have connection issues too. No wonder why true audiophiles still go for wired speakers. They are easier and more reliable.
Naim have never been good at firmware. hence the DVD5 that disappeared without a trace. Hateful machine, and buggy as fuck.
@@niceguy235uk1"hateful?"
eARC update coming?
Any news on that?
Hello 👋 everyone hope all is well. I have a question which speaker 🔊 would you guys recommend for hiphop and reggae music in particular I play these two genres the most from my Iphone. Looking for an all in one speaker 🔊 to play these genres in particular I’m looking for clarity and bass primarily. The two speakers I’m on the dense decking between the Naim Mu-So Qb - 2nd generation Bluetooth speaker verses the Bower Wilkins Formation Wedge. I don’t care about features and extras or pricing I’m just concerned with sound quality period. Can anyone who has heard both of these speakers in person please tell me which one has a warmer sound or better sound of the two speakers especially when it comes down to these all in one speakers 🔊 to play reggae and hiphop. I love both of these speakers 🔊 but due to the quarantine and where I am it is nearly impossible to hear them in person to compare. Any assistance and help you can bring is greatly appreciated thanks 😊! Have a great day folks and stay safe!
Definitely the Mu-So as it is much more versatile
@@arfanirtaza834 what do you mean the speaker is more versatile I don’t know exactly know what you mean? Can you explain a little more thanks 🙏🏾. I’m asking just about sound quality and clarity between the two nothing else strictly from a sound perspective which one sounds better to your ears 👂🏾 in a large room?
@@jonathanbarnes7641 hi there, by versatile I mean that the Mu So kills in any genre of music, you can really hear the clearness that is prosuced by those Naim amplifiers inside. The formation wedge is a bit more neutral but it doesn't have the same roomy large feel to the sound quality, the treble and high s are literally among the best on the Mu So, but if money means nothing to you then I would consider checking out the Bowers and Wilkins formation duo as it is best in class, they are wireless too, but they are bookshelf, if you want something compact then mu so is seriously the best!
Thanks Jonathan
@@arfanirtaza834 thanks 😊 much appreciated for the breakdown and clarification helps a lot. Wasn’t sure exactly what you were saying before sorry lol. So you say this sound bar is better than the formation toe to toe in a sound battle for all genres of music. Which one ☝🏾 would you say is better for HipHop and Reggae music which are typically more bass driven in sound quality?
Went through 2 units firmware nightmare. Turns on in the middle of the night.
who compared muso and muso qb ? which plays better in general?
I did. It took me about 5 seconds to decide the Mu-So was worth the extra over the Qb.
So we’re you told not to mention the price? What did you get in return for this ad?
Not an add. We never mention price because price continuously changes and we can’t update a video. Common practice.
@@AppleInsider telling a market price or launch price will work.. as people know that price changes are normal market phenomenon..
Yes you did good in terms of feature reviews but not playing a sound preview for a speaker review is like knife without a fork on a dinner table..
He got paid. And a free muso 2..
@@thomasczthomash1859 proof thanks hope this helps have a Great weekend 👌
I highly suspect using AirPlay would severely degrade sound quality. Using Roon would be better.
Well, yes Roon would be better BUT It isn't that simple. There is much more to the inequality...
Roon is not the opposite of Airplay. There are intermediate solutions: you can play hardwired via several streaming providers, including Tidal and Qobuz, directly through the Naim app (which works well), and there is no need for Roon. I have only a phone and a Muso2, and I stream HiRez music from the cloud. Best of all, you don't need any Roon hardware($$) or Roon subscriptions ($$) to stream HiRez files from the great music cloud in the sky.
If you were saying that Airplay/Apple Music limits the resolution of playback, that is correct.
To get a better idea of what Airplay lacks, I did compare what was supposedly the same recordings over Airplay and wired Tidal and Qobuz via the Naim app, and I did it for several tracks. There were differences among the three, but I thought it really would not matter for a lot of music that I would listen to. Qobuz HiRes generally being the exception-it was always good. Some Tidal tunes that were nominally at higher resolution than what Airplay can do were less desirable because the sound was dark and lacked upper freq details, while the Airplay was rich in high freq, but lacked in lower freq.
In summary, Airplay does not suck, but for music that demands better resolution, you can stream from Tidal and Qobuz at high resolution. Roon not necessary.
R. Y. RAAT, contrast to other wireless audio protocol, prioritize the clock inside the steaming device, thus reduces signal jitter. AirPlay always re-encode to 44.1kHz ALAC codec, which always degrades sound quality, including encoding 44.1kHz FLAC to 44.1kHz ALAC. AirPlay always sounds harsher in the high frequency from my experience. Built-in Tidal and Qobuz steaming uses normal UPnP protocol, which is not as good as using ROON. Tho I doubt it won’t matter because Mu So is not so resolving.
u had me at '2000 mips'...
Lol
Nice, but $1,700.00
The McIntosh RS200 is $3000; so this is cheap. I went with a $ 600 Sprout 2 from PS Audio + $350 bookshelf Audio Monitor speakers.
You're not wrong Timmy, its mad expensive
@@thomasczthomash1859 just cut back on weed and door dash you'll get there before you know it thanks hope this helps have a Great weekend 👌
My name is naim
Nice, I'm poor.
i'm dreaming about iphone x
Andrew Aleshite Go back to sleep 😂
shit this dude has so many devices in Home app...
Bad apple AND android average app review score... unacceptable for something this da*n expensive!
Seems like a sponsored video.
nishiki disagree as I have both and it’s damn impressive
Q Graham including the apps, no problems with the app?
nishiki can only talk about iOS sorry and that works fine. Very intuitive and fast on my iPad
@@HabitualFixation ok, thanks for the feedback. the app reviews aren't great for either platform, but of course people are usually more likely to review if they have a compaint, so that likely accounts for part of it.
Yea all these reviewers are getting paid $$$ by the manufacturer

sonos is shit, cant believe people actually buy it, it always laggs, its not clear, it gets wifi bugs, every x minutes the music just pauses
In every possible way, this is the bottom of naims range. A sceptic might suggest that this was created to fleece the apple (gullible) generation. If you own one of these, do yourself a favour and upgrade to a real (Wiltshire built) naim system at your earliest opportunity.
More details, please thanks hope this helps have a Great weekend 👌
@hikeskool buy a used superuniti for around £1200 plus a decent pair of speakers. That's an excellent entry into real hifi
@@acme181169 does that have all the features of this unit here thanks hope this helps have a Great weekend 👌
The design is terrible
No
AppleInsider too big, bulky, too many materials, it clashes
nick34377 you have bad taste mate
No
It's down to personal preference but i think it looks great...
Cheesy accent.
