Brennan Reviews 

Too many things are not working as they should. The app is just about useless. Without a computer it’s almost impossible to get everything working as it should. Will only appeal to a very limited number of people.

Ordering, payment and delivery was excellent. Took no time at all to set up. Few issues with importing music from another database as lost majority of the album covers so had to add manually. Also a few truncated track titles which I haven’t got to the bottom of yet.like that it can link to my Sonos system so can have music throughout the home or in individual rooms based on my Sonos system set up. A new by to Brennan so still learning.

Good quality product, arrived quickly after ordering. Easy to set up and use with my Sonos speakers

Love the way it works with Sonos and the sound quality. Easy to add CDs ,many of which I am finding again after years. The App functonality and search is a bit clunky and needs to be improved. It is expensive but then all goo CD-players have become expensive due to lack of demand. Overall happy that I bought it and have recommended it to friends

Brennan people were responsive and helpful when needed to solve my dilemma. Thank you

Rapid delivery was great and had new, bigger capacity B3 up and running in no time. Then loading back up from old low capacity B3 proved easy to set up though wow it took many hours to load. I now hope to use my old B£ with my VB1 to start loading my LP collection.

Delivery was within 18 hours! Now finding CDs in the cupboard that I had forgotten I hand.

Website easy to navigate and use . Very quick shipping/delivery . Set up was a doddle with minimum of instructions which speaks to the skill and effort put into the design of the product .

Good communication.
Rapid response to initial order

Great no hassle purchase. Prompt dispatch and delivery.

Received my order in a timely manner

I have a Sonos sound system throughout my home with speakers in bedrooms, dining room and a stereo pair of 5s in my living room. For a couple of years issues with the Sonos app failing to connect to speakers or my NAS drive has been a nightmare. Took a chance on a Brennan B3, quick and simple set up and a smooth app. Wish I’d done it years ago. Only downside is my wife is finding it so easy to use I have to put up with stuff like Celine Dion instead of my Sabbath, Heep, Nazareth, Maiden etc.

My SD card had become corrupted. Checked the online help & followed recommendations. Unable to fix so I emailed Brennan Quick response gave me details of how to obtain a replacement. Ordered online & new card received within a few days. Prompt efficient service throughout.

It feels like your own special music community. I have grouped my B3 with Q Accoustic 3030Cs and the results are wonderful. I did want the Brennan speakers but they seem very hard to come by lately.

It’s a great piece of kit; based on my limited experience to date it does pretty much everything you could want from a CD player/ripper/radio/amplifier.
Arrived promptly and well packaged (although left on the front step of the block by the courier - lucky I saw the “Delivered” status on tracking before some passing villain saw the large BRENNAN on the outside of the box).
Even the 20 watt/channel amp seems plenty for my needs through Mission speakers, and finally found the “Tone” controls within the webUI interface to tune the sound.
Haven’t yet figured out if/how to overwrite the radio presets which is all part of why I’ve marked down by one star - the User Manual comprises a quick-start guide and then find your own way through a disparate mix of web site, user forum and random web searches. For the far side of 600 notes it really should come with better documentation - the user forum is full of frightening tales of things going wrong, which is not a good start for what is otherwise the best audio-combi unit on the market.

Edit: impressive client relations - within a day of posting this review I got a message from Martin Brennan himself responding to my comments and indicating they already have updates in hand to address my documentation concern. How many companies are that responsive? Thanks, Martin.

I was hesitant to buy a B3+ on line, due to the lack of a contact phone number in the event of problems.
I was assured on the effectiveness of the e.mail system, so I went ahead.
I had an issue with headphones, which Paul from Brennan managed to resolve within 24 hours.
I have since contacted Paul again regarding radio presets, and again he has responded within 24 hours.
The unit is working very well and I am very happy with it.

Neŵ dB memory stick arrived quickly. Cddb update straightforward.

Nice unit took some time to set it up had to download the manual to get the system to connect still can’t get the optical to work ( new cable) managed eventually on the line out, also had to google how to adjust base treble to my liking (prior to downloading the manual) not sure how to switch into standby did what it says but screen still fully lit up also tried from the internal menu ie after 60 mins screen still backlight?

Had an issue that needed support from Brennan and they supplied the programmed SD card that resolved the issue. Ordered on Friday delivered Tuesday - much appreciate your help and advice

The system is great once I worked out how to do everything. The only issue I experienced was connecting to the WiFi, but after a few aborted attempts it suddenly connected.
