Expert Insight

It’s amazing how far we’ve come. Finding your favorite song today takes seconds, compared to the old cassette days—digging through tapes, fast-forwarding and rewinding to find the right spot, flipping on Dolby B to fight that annoying tape hiss (and losing half the treble anyway), only for the tape to get eaten by your car stereo! What a difference a few decades of innovation makes. Now, music streaming has taken convenience and sound quality to a whole new level—and among them, Bluesound stands out as the best. The Bluesound PULSE FLEX 130 (2026 model) is the perfect way to fill small to medium-sized spaces with rich, detailed sound. And for larger rooms or home theaters, Bluesound’s versatile lineup offers the ideal solution for every listening environment.
