Description
Listen wirelessly to a powerful sound with the Bowers & Wilkins Formation Wedge. This speaker has an elliptical form so the sound is distributed over the space. The built-in bass ensures that the bass comes into its own. Connect the speaker via WiFi or Bluetooth to your smartphone and stream music of streaming services or your own playlist. The speaker also has Apple AirPlay 2. Thanks to this, you can connect Apple devices directly to the speaker. This way, you can easily stream music from your Apple MacBook. Want to get even more out of the sound? Connect the speaker to the Formation Bass for an extra powerful sound.

Just good!
- Great design
- Superior sound quality
- Easy installation
Bought the B&W Formation Wedge to replace our B&W Zeppelin. The Wedge's size is better than its predecessor. AirPlay 2 support was a must. Installation with the accompanying app is very easy. It is sometimes suggested that the purchase price is high. However, by changing music listening by means of Streaming, the purchase price compared to a good HIFI set is just good. Ultimately, it is the box that has to bring the music, then it must also be of good quality.

We are real hi-fi freaks and this speaker sounds really good. Unfortunately we wanted real stereo, so sound from 2 sides. We now take the DUO. The formation flex is nowhere near the wedge.
