I'm actually a bit disappointed in the use of the M5 speaker in a multiroom configuration. Multiroom is fully functional in using the iOS Beomusic app but the M5 speaker is strangely enough not appearing on the Beomusic Androids app. You have to use the new Bang Olufsen app for Android in Multiroom. But this app is still in Beta form and is not yet having DLNA possibility. B&O promised, it will be out of Beta form 'somewhere' in March.
I was in the opinion that the Beoplay range was meant to a younger and also wider audience. Not all of this audience is using those costly iOS phones...
Secondly, there was also the possibility to pear a Essence wheelie as a remote with the M5 at launch, this option was removed with the latest software update. What??
It's a very good product from Beoplay with lots of potential, but how can you praise a product that's not fully usable in any environment with all possibilities of use and placement.
