Additionally, the Beosound Explore is equipped with two 1.8-inch full-range drivers and two 30W Class D amplifiers for full-range sound. Wireless connectivity supports Bluetooth version 5.2, SBC, Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, and AAC codecs.

Two units can be connected for stereo mode, and the multipoint function allows simultaneous connection of up to two devices such as smartphones and tablets.
