What's unique about the brand

Braun Audio's LE series is a modern reinterpretation of Dieter Rams' 1959 designs, maintaining the minimalist aesthetic that earned recognition from the Museum of Modern Art. The speakers blend historical design elements from Braun's electrostatic speakers with modern features, including custom-designed woofers and a mechanical privacy button to disable the microphone, making them distinct in the smart speaker market.

What reviewers are saying

We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:

  • Braun's modern LE range is heavily inspired by the minimalist designs of Dieter Rams from the brand's audio heyday in the 1950s and 60s, offering a retro aesthetic that distinguishes them from competitors.
  • These speakers aim for seamless integration with modern streaming, offering Chromecast, AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth connectivity, and a dedicated app, albeit with limited features, underscoring their focus on wireless convenience.

Our favorite reviewer quotes:

  • "The sound quality was mind-blowing, the bass was there when you needed it and vocals were clear. It really is a very good system and probably warrants the price tag of £349" (https://www.thegadgetman.org.uk/braun-le03-high-end-smart-audio-for-your-home)
  • "The highs were bright and clearly outlined, the lows reactive, spacious and nuanced." (https://blog.son-video.com/en/2020/12/braun-le01-and-braun-le03-wireless-speakers-review)

LE03  

  • Positioning: An entry-level smart speaker designed for everyday use with a compact, minimalistic form.  
  • Description: Offers impressive sound with its custom fast-transient woofer and a balanced mode radiator that ensures clear voice recognition and streaming performance. In comparison to the larger LE02 and flagship LE01, its small size makes it ideal for limited spaces and budget-conscious buyers who need essential smart speaker functionality without extra frills.  

LE02

  • Description: Delivers rich, dynamic audio through advanced BMR drive units and a custom aluminium cone woofer, providing a near 180-degree soundstage and effective smart home integration with Google Assistant. Compared to the compact LE03, its larger design is better suited for medium rooms, while still sitting below the flagship LE01 in overall sophistication.  

LE01  

  • Positioning: The flagship high-end speaker offering expansive, deeply immersive sound and advanced features.  
  • Description: Produces powerful, wide dynamic range performance using multiple high-excursion drivers and integrated placement EQ for exceptional audio precision at all volumes. Unlike the more compact LE03 and the mid-sized LE02, its robust build, premium materials, and extensive smart functionality make it best for users with a higher budget seeking top-tier performance for larger spaces and diversified connectivity needs.

About the brand

GoldenEar Technology stands out for its High-Velocity Folded Ribbon tweeter, which moves air like an accordion to avoid the distortion common in metal dome tweeters, and its built-in powered bass sections with DSP eliminate the need for separate subwoofers. The brand delivers high-end sound quality at more accessible price points through its Triton series, which uses passive radiators to achieve powerful bass from compact cabinets.

About the brand

Martin Logan is one of the most established names in high-end audio, best known as a pioneer of electrostatic panel speakers. Electrostatics offer a unique, tactile transient response that many audiophiles find addictive—once people hear them, they often become lifelong fans. In some ways, these speakers are comparable to Magnepan’s dipole designs. However, Martin Logan also offers more traditional cone-driver speakers, providing something for a range of tastes and setups.
