Editors’ Choice Award 2022 - The Absolute Sound Magazine
Bluesound's All-in-One Music Streamer and Player
Bluesound's Pulse 2i is the most complete high fidelity streaming system available. The Pulse 2i fills large spaces with rich, clear audio. It makes everything sound great, from the latest hi-res files to whatever else you play. When it comes to your music, don’t settle for anything less than high-fidelity.
Award-Winning Performance
The Pulse 2i won an Editors’ Choice Award 2022 from The Absolute Sound magazine, which noted, "This tabletop, wireless all-in-one brings the expertise and sensibility of PSB Speakers’ founder Paul Barton to the integrated system. The solidly built Pulse 2i accommodates a wide range of inputs, but will most likely be driven by streaming sources via the BluOS app. The sound has a warmth and richness in the bass and midbass that are often missing in the category."
"The Pulse 2i projects a sound far larger than its size would indicate and has the ability to fill a mid-sized room. The mids and treble are warm and engaging, again defying expectations. Pulse 2i Mini simply a smaller version."
Stream It Like You Mean It
With the Pulse 2i, Bluesound's most powerful speaker just got a whole lot more powerful. The Pulse 2i gets a complete acoustic makeover with all new driver and amp technologies that more than double the output in the bass frequencies, while lowering distortion. Upgraded tweeters expand the sweet spot for listening, and the most sophisticated DSP engine available extends a true stereo sound field far beyond the limits of other all-in-one speakers. High-end DAC technology built into every Bluesound player can decode and stream MQA files in all their lossless glory.
"A Big Thumbs Up"
"Bluesound deserves a big thumbs up for the design of the Pulse 2i. It’s certainly different but not so crazy that it’s not attractive. The Bluesound Pulse 2i combines curves with angular lines, which provides the speaker’s unique look," reports Alex Hernandez, Techaeris, February 1, 2021.
"Overall, the sound on the Bluesound Pulse 2i is really exceptional once you get the EQ settings where you like them."
"Excellent-Sounding, All-In-One Stereo Music System"
"The Bluesound Pulse 2i is an excellent-sounding, all-in-one stereo music system made more appealing by such features as AirPlay 2 support, upgraded Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and Alexa voice control. But what’s most attractive about the Pulse 2i is the world it lives in: Lenbrook’s excellent BluOS software, and the extensive range of BluOS-capable products with which the Pulse 2i can be used," notes Gordon Brockhouse, SoundStage! Simplifi, March 15, 2019.
"The Pulse 2i Wireless Streaming Speaker is feature-rich, app support is excellent, and it has amazing sound to boot… I can’t wait to see what else Bluesound has cooking up for us in the future.," notes Indiana Lang, Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, August 5, 2021.
Rule Your Sonic Domain
In addition to providing best-in-class dual band WiFi, the Pulse 2i now has Apple AirPlay 2 built-in for easy integration into the Apple ecosystem, making it more flexible than ever. Bluetooth performance is seriously stepped up with native support for aptX HD, giving it the ability to transmit studio quality music to Bluetooth headphones and speakers.
Control with Your Smartphone or Tablet
Play, pause, and select your streaming tracks from the touch-sensitive controls on the top panel. For added functionality, the Pulse 2i, like all Bluesound players, is controlled from your smartphone or tablet using the free BluOS app. The app brings all you music sources together for complete control whether they are in the cloud, on your computer or phone, or from almost any other source via the various digital and analog inputs. Whatever the musical source, Bluesound will play it in the highest resolution, all the way up to studio master-quality resolution.
Digital Music, Internet Radio, Podcasts, and More
From popular music streaming services to radio stations and podcasts, the Pulse 2i connects you to everything you love to listen to. Plus, with two-way aptXT™ Adaptive Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2 built in, you can enjoy music from even more apps and services, including Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Qobuz. Connect the Pulse 2i to digital music libraries stored on your computer or local network, and effortlessly browse and stream from your collection using the BluOS app.
Roon Ready
Roon brings all your music together, so you don’t have to worry about where it’s stored, what format it’s in, or where you stream it from. Roon supports music files stored on internal and external hard drives and NAS, your iTunes library, live radio stations, and streamed content from TIDAL and Qobuz.
"Rich, Detailed, Dynamic Sound"
"The Pulse 2i and Pulse Mini 2i deliver rich, detailed, dynamic sound across their full frequency range. They’re exceptionally balanced in their voicing, there’s no artificial EQ enhancement to cause hearing fatigue," reports amie Madden in his review for blog.roonlabs.net. "Bluesound delivers a natural sound stage that invites and rewards extended listening sessions. This is just exactly what you expect from a premium speaker; transparency, balance, and detail that brings you closer to your favorite music."
Convenient Voice Control
With support for the most popular voice assistants, including Apple’s Siri and Amazon Alexa, control is more convenient that ever. Every supported voice assistant gives you easy, hands-free control over the music in your home so you can pause the music when the phone rings or ask what song is playing, all with your voice.
BluVoice, which is the BluOS voice engine, controls all Bluesound Players – no matter which generation you have at home – bringing the latest tech to the speakers and systems that you love and continue to get better with every update. Set up a default room and use quick and easy voice commands to control your music using the long list of BluVoice custom commands. For example, you can use voice commands to play saved playlists, select your favorite radio station, adjust volume levels, or even group players together and play your music in perfect sync throughout the house.
Easy Setup, Impressive Performance
Unlike many other wireless audio products, the Bluesound system is incredibly easy to set up and use. And the performance is unsurpassed.
"The entire system is designed for easy setup with no computer required. Users operate it with a smartphone or tablet BlueOS app," notes Grant Clauser in an ElectronicHouse.com review of the original Bluesound system for October 18, 2013 "Music from the Vault includes cover art to make it easy to find the album you're looking for… I was able to listen to all the Bluesound components in a hotel suite in New York this week. The performance was pretty impressive on all of them."
"For those people looking for a nice, simple, convenient and good-sounding one box/one app solution for ripping CDs, playing your ripped and downloaded files, streaming music from Internet radio, Rdio, Slacker Radio, and Qobuz, and purchasing music from HighResAudio, the Bluesound Vault has got your number and its one of one in today's marketplace," reports Michael Lavorgna in his Audiostream.com, January 21, 2013 review of the original Bluesound system. "Just add an iOS or Android device as a remote and you'll be rollin' in tunes in no time."
"It Can Pump Out Some Serious Bass"
"The BluOS controller app is fantastic with a clean, logical layout which makes it intuitive to use. And then there's the sound quality which is much better than you'd expect from a relatively small box. It can pump out some serious bass but being a sealed design it's always controlled and it never overpowers the rest of the spectrum," observes Lemwise, avsforum.com, October 1, 2023.
"The midrange is clear and open and voices really shine. The treble is sweet and never overly bright which makes it an easy listen. Overall the sonic character is on the warm side but not too much and this speaker clearly shows the difference in recording quality."
Bluesound Music Players
Bluesound players are designed and engineered by audiophiles. They have been tested and perfected at one of North America's most advanced sound labs by some of the same engineers and musicians who started the original hi-fi revolution in the 1970s, including PSB's Paul Barton.
Add other Bluesound components for more functionality. "The entire system is designed for easy setup with no computer required," reports Grant Clauser at ElectronicHouse.com. "Playlists can be created on the fly. Each component can be controlled individually, or grouped, so users can play different songs in each room or the same music all over the house."
New! Support for Qobuz Connec
Big news for music lovers! Starting September 2025, BluOS supports Qobuz Connect, making it easier than ever to enjoy your favorite tracks in stunning hi-resolution.
With this update, you’ll be able to stream directly from the Qobuz app to any BluOS-enabled device from Bluesound, NAD Electronics, PSB Speakers, Cyrus Audio, DALI Speakers, and Monitor Audio — all at up to 24-bit/192 kHz quality.
Browse, search, and play right inside the Qobuz app, while BluOS handles what it does best: seamless, reliable multi-room playback. You’ll still manage speaker grouping and volume inside the BluOS app, but control of music selection is now right at your fingertips in Qobuz.
