Great features, great sound at price point
The Bluesound Powernode is a a great device and is only let down by the fact that for some reason it (despite advertising and on box info) will not connect to Apple Music via AirPlay. Hope Bluesound can get this sorted

Nice hardware, let down by abysmal software.
Excellent hardware, which produces a lovely sound going in to my Monitor Audio Silver 100’s. But severely unimpressed with BluOS.Four attempts to setup wirelessly and wired all failed, BlueSound, replying after a month, made the pathetic excuse that the PowerNode should be nearer to the router or that my files are corrupt. yet in the same location I have a SonosArc, a Samsung TV, a Mac Mini, a Roku stick and two iPad Pro’s all of which connect flawless to my network. So I must conclude that BluOS 4 is a load of rubbish. Had I known this, I would likely have saved myself half the cost and bought the Wiim Amp instead.

A little black beauty!
This truly is a little box of wonderful delights that excels in everything it does. I adore the unassuming design combined with its astonishing simplicity and ease of use. The BluOS app combines with both Spotify and the Powernode for seamless operation and easy access to all your favorite music and radio stations.
For sound, I'm currently running my Bluesound through my Q Acoustic 3020's.Whilst these are arguably considered entry level speakers they've never sounded so so good. That said, I'm now keener than ever to upgrade to the new QA 5020's. All in all I'm delighted with my purchase and would unreservedly recommend. Thank you Bluesound!

Great wifi-enabled amplifier
I bought this to power my old B&W P4s, to play music and serve as the rear speakers on our home cinema. It’s excellent, great sound quality and plenty of drive.

Plenty of power excellent sound
Was looking at purchasing the evo150 and went for the bluesound powernode instead. Couldn’t be more happy, it sounds brilliant with my new ae309 floor standers. Big thanks to Tom for great advise and a good deal.

Aig sound & the whole family can use it with ease!
I've now had the POWERNODE for several months and it's an amazing piece of kit. I upgraded from a Denon RCD N11 as it was constantly going into protection mode after buying my new floorstander speakers. No such problem with POWERNODE as the 8o watts per channel make all the difference. I'm using Q Acoustic 3050i speakers which have powerful bass drivers and the POWERNODE has no problem driving them. The sound stage is big and effortless. It's especially good with modern bass heavy, synth-y type music like Gorillaz, Caroline Polachek. Dua Lipa, SG Lewis, Wet Leg etc. Not sure if that's due to the amp, the speakers or both?
The Bluos operating system is seamless and so easy and intuitive to use. I'm using the unit via wi-fi and the signal is robust and resilience. I've scarcely had any outages or problems with streaming high res music from Tidal.
All in all, I've now got an audiophile hi-fi listening experience for a very reasonable price. For anything better you would have to pay over double the price and even then you wouldn't get double the improvement!

Fantastic sound with no wires - just bluetooth
Extremely happy with the sound ( through Dali floor mounted speakers) and connectivety via smartphone but perhaps too reliant on phone so I would like to see a manual override option on the hardware too
