We first reviewed the Formation Duo in 2019, but they continue to be a stellar pair of wireless speakers for a variety of reasons.
First, as they remain a great sounding set of active speakers that will delight any hi-fi fan looking for a simple but elegant set-up. Whether it was streaming high quality WAV files from our NAS via Roon, FLAC tracks from Tidal, or basic MP3s from Spotify, we found the speakers delivered a nicely transparent performance with snappy timing and tight, authoritative bass.
Second, if you’re a hi-fi fan that likes your hardware to have some character, then the trademark design, which places a decoupled tweeter on top of the cabinet, is certain to appeal and will draw more than a few glances when you have people over – a fact our reviewers can confirm as they remain one of the first products people notice when going through our stockroom.
Third and finally is their excellent multi-room powers. If you already have other B&W Formation products, the Duo can communicate with them to deliver Sonos-rivalling multi-room capabilities using the company's proprietary wireless technology – which reduces any latency of playback between products to one millisecond.
This trio of factors make the Formation Duo a great option for serious hi-fi fans looking to build a wireless, multi-room set-up that doesn’t sacrifice audio quality. Hence our reviewers' conclusion:
“This is a great wireless product and nothing comes close to it right now. The Duos are deadly precise speakers with a speed of performance that makes you want to dig out tune after tune.”
On the off-chance the Formation Duo don’t quite tick all the boxes for you, make sure to check out our best speaker deals page and wider best wireless speakers guides for a wider selection of recommendations from our hi-fi experts.
