The US$350 asking price sits exactly at the 75th percentile of recent used Bluesound NODE 2i listings, making it an ambitious but not unreasonable figure for an unknown condition unit; the median is US$268, with the 25th percentile at US$238, so this listing is clearly above fair value unless the condition is pristine. Compared to external market data showing lightly used units often below US$400 and the lowest seen around US$350, this price aligns with the top end of typical resale but offers no bargain upside.
The NODE 2i remains a top-tier streamer for its seamless integration with BluOS, excellent DAC quality, and robust app control, making it a worthy upgrade for analog or budget digital setups. At US$350, however, the buyer should verify condition, confirm included accessories like power cable and remote, and ensure no hidden firmware or Wi-Fi issues before committing—this is a solid product, but only a buying opportunity if the unknown condition turns out to be excellent.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bluesound emerged in 2013 from Canada's Lenbrook Group, the powerhouse behind revered hi-fi marques NAD and PSB. Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, the brand was born from a bold vision to fuse wireless multi-room audio with genuine high-fidelity reproduction, reimagining home sound for a streaming era. Debuting at Munich's hi-fi showcase before a full CES reveal in 2014, Bluesound drew on Lenbrook's decades of audio innovation—pioneered since the 1970s—to deliver hi-res performance without compromise.
The brand specializes in wireless multi-room streaming components, anchored by its proprietary BluOS platform for seamless, intuitive control across devices. Iconic products like the NODE streamer, POWERNODE amplifier, PULSE speakers, and VAULT music server form the core lineup, emphasizing high-resolution audio from Tidal, Qobuz, and local libraries. BluOS extends to NAD and PSB gear, creating a unified ecosystem that prioritizes bit-perfect playback over gimmicks.
Bluesound holds a commanding mid-to-high-end position among discerning audiophiles, celebrated for its stable, award-winning multi-room hi-res streaming that benchmarks the category. No longer unchallenged, the NODE remains a reference, blending accessibility with sonic depth to appeal to knowledgeable buyers seeking modern wireless excellence rooted in Canadian engineering heritage.
