B&O Floor-Standing Speakers: Which Should I Choose?
Comparing Bang & Olufsen’s Top-Tier Speakers
Most "high-end audio" speakers are wired, meaning they must be physically connected to an amplifier or receiver. But if you’re unable (or unwilling) to run speaker wire across the room, there’s a brand you must know: Bang & Olufsen.
B&O is known for manufacturing wireless speakers with breathtaking sound quality and exquisite craftsmanship. In this blog, we'll explore three remarkable floor-standing models from B&O's collection: the BeoLab 28, BeoLab 50, and BeoLab 90.
All three of these speakers make a great choice for home theaters or listening rooms. But which should you choose? We compare all three B&O speakers below to help you make the right choice for your Lighthouse Point, FL, home.

BeoLab 28
With its slender, tower-like design and wooden outer cover, the BeoLab 28 speaker effortlessly blends elegance with modernity. In terms of audio performance, the BeoLab 28 offers a rich and immersive experience and is equipped with Active Room Compensation technology to adjust its sound output based on your room's acoustics.
The Beolab 28 can fill a room up to 500 square feet and can play up to 95 decibels of bass capability. The Beolab 28 is less powerful than the 50 or 90 but still packs incredible sound for a living room or listening room setup.
BeoLab 50
The BeoLab 50 is twice as wide as the Beolab 28, making room for larger drivers and more powerful sound. The BeoLab 50 also features Active Room Compensation and Beam Width Control, allowing you to customize the width of the soundstage to suit your listening preferences.
The 50 also covers more ground than the 28, filling up to 2,000 square feet with 123 decibels of bass production. If you want more “oomph” in your audio, the Beolab 50 is an incredible speaker with an aesthetically-pleasing combination of oak wood, aluminum, and a fabric cover.
BeoLab 90
The BeoLab 90 is the epitome of B&O's pursuit of sonic perfection. This engineering masterpiece pushes the boundaries of what's possible in wireless audio reproduction while the striking, sculptural design exudes sophistication.
With groundbreaking technologies like the Beam Width and Beam Direction control, you can choose where the Beolab 90's audio "sweet spot" should be. The 90 includes an astonishing 14 audio channels and 18 premium drivers, creating the ultimate surround sound or stereo listening experience. The Beolab 90 certainly has a higher price tag than the 50 or 28, but it is worth it if you want a premium and conveniently operated speaker.
