Brennan Reviews 883

I bought a much earlier product made by Brennan to store and play my cd collection on well over 20 years ago. This finally needed replacement, and I had no hesitation in purchasing from the company again.

The product is again excellent, as well as the customer service and support throughout the ordering and delivery process. Responses to any queries were sometimes received well outside normal working hours, and were very comprehensive - these days that happens extremely rarely.

It is noteworthy that I have also received a personal email from the owner of the company as follow up, and this reflects enormously in their commitment to excellence and involvement at all levels of their business.

Highly recommended, and hoping for another 20 years of excellent performance from my new purchase.

Easy website to navigate, secure payment system. Fast delivery by a reputable courier, on time.
Great user group site to get everything up and running quickly.

Fantastic device for storing & playing CD collection. Radio station range also excellent.

I was very excited to find this and hooefully it will result in listening to my large selection of cd's again. The ripping works well and is very fast. I have been struggling with connecting speakers since I don't have Sonos speakers. I am using bluetooth and it has not been working great yet, but Brennan support is helping me through that.

Dislike the online forum, which whilst informative often needs a PhD level of computing knowledge to understand.Ended up sending B3 back for repair.

Simple to use my Brennan B3+ great sound I use it through 2 Alexa echo dots configured to stereo with a subwoofer crystal clear rich sound The only thing I would like is the app a little more sophisticated but a minor point.

My B+ arrived well packaged and in mint condition. The startup instructions were clear and everything went well. It was up and running within around 45 mins.
What isn't mentioned is that it works with an IPad and an IPad pro perfectly - useful with those of us with not too good eyesight!

Problem of corrupted SD card solved by Brennan promptly supplying another. I've had a B2 for 11 years and it still amazes me with it's performance.

EXCELLENT PIECE OF KIT DELIVERED THE DAY AFTER
I ORDERED IT LOVE IT

Ordered a B3 replacement SD card. Arrived quickly and worked fine.

Great Brennan B3+ very easy to order and quick delivery, very well packed no issues at all

Delivery was on the day advised and setup was easy

A great device (B3)
Great to look through all my CDs while ripping them (a bit annoying as I have to listen to so many of them that I had forgotten)
Couple of issues setting it up but support team were great at helping and now works like a dream.

Well worth the expense, keeping all my music in one place which is easy to access.

Item arrived quickly and the instructions for use were clear

Fast delivery. Great music machine just made for someone like me.

Placed order late pm for a replacement programming disc. Because my Brennen unit was out of warranty, the replacement price was confirmed over night and I was able to place the order with payment following morning, Unit despatched and received within 3 days

Very disappointed with this product.
Bought the B3+ as a way to store my CD collection as was putting into storage during redecorating works and with view to saving space.
Didn't get chance to full test unit as works ran over, but now I have, I wish I'd tried it earlier as would have very likely returned.

Firstly, rip quality isn't great. Think I've yet to find one CD that doesn't have glitches in the form of small audible clicks or sections were there is slight shift in passage of play.

Not overly impressed with sound quality either.
My set-up uses a Denon AV receiver with the Toslink output. I've tried running CD player with the B3 simultaneously with same CD playing while switching between two and the sound quality from the B3 is a big let down.

A number of other disappointing features: no bundled remote control -come on? For the cost of the unit this seems very poor.

Also, having to buy an adapter to allow ethernet connection seems similarly shoddy for same reason. As is having an additional charge for postage.

All in all, I think a two star review is being generous, given these issues.

I was really impressed with the speed of delivery , ordered at about 16:00 , delivered at 07:20 the following morning. So far I have loaded about 5000 tracks & am currently compressing them to FLAC . The sound quality seems very good , I had an Arcam system with B&W speakers & Subwoofer before . I can’t believe how heavy the old Arcam amp is compared to this new Brennan . They are currently awaiting sale when I get the new Brennan installed permanently.
