  • Excellent - Perfect for minimal Mac setup
Color: Anthracite
I purchased the B&O Beosound A1 2nd Gen to improve my MacBook Pro - based, 2 cable (1 monitor power cord, 1 USBC to drive the external monitor + power my MacBook Pro) work from home setup. My work area is limited and in the middle of my kitchen / living / dining area — so aesthetics are also a factor. I specifically wanted: (1) reliable, high quality audio for conferencing and music, (2) small footprint, (3) cable-free / wireless operation, and (4) long battery life. On paper, the B&O Beosound A1 seemed ideal; however after extensive research I felt like I would be paying a premium for the small form factor while compromising on sound quality (ref Alan Ross YouTube videos) and perhaps battery life. I decided to take the plunge as I could return the unit if it disappointed. The unit was delivered on time and I was very impressed with the packaging, instruction booklet, physical quality, and straightforward button layout. Setup and software update using the B&O iOS app was intuitive and almost effortless. Pairing the unit with my MacBook Pro and selecting the microphone and speaker in MacOS preferences was routine. The unit charged from 80% to 100% using my MacBook Pro USBC power adapter in about 2 hours. I immediately tested music playback and found it acceptable and inline with Alan Ross’s review (good highs and mids, less than robust bass, and sound quality highly sensitive to speaker placement / tweeter orientation). I also observed that the unit would power off after a period of inactivity and was concerned that I might have to reset the speaker and microphone connections after turning the unit back on. All in all these were potential complications I could live with. The unit passed its inaugural 1 hour Microsoft Teams meeting / video conference with flying colors the following day: powering it up reestablished wireless Bluetooth pairing, plus microphone and speaker assignments; and audio quality was reliable and exceptional throughout the meeting. This is the primary reason I purchased the unit, so I was ready to claim mission accomplished. However, a surprise was in store. After my conference call I decided to check battery level using the B&O app — the unit was at 95% after a few hours of experimenting with music playback, letting the unit sit overnight and a 1 hour conference call in the morning. That was reassuring, but while in the app my attention was drawn to the app’s Equalizer feature which I had glossed over during setup and did not examine during my prior musical exploration -- so I decided decompress to random selections from my Apple Music library while also testing the equalizer settings. Wow, I was blown away by the difference in sound quality using the equalizer — particularly the Ambient setting. I listened to selections from John Williams, Florence + the Machine, Acadia, Los Lonely Boys, Makaveli, Chick Corea, James Blake, Lydia Low, Ani DiFranco, Prince, Coldplay, Matisyahu, Public Enemy, Anthony and The Johnsons, Yael Naim and others. The range featured classical, R&B, rock, reggae, metal, alternative, singer songwriter, vocal, instrumental, a cappella — an excellent sample of what I listen to — and nothing disappointed: Sound clarity is excellent, highs are bright, mids are uniform and punchy, lows are deep and moving for a 5" speaker, and volume is excellent for my use case (personal audio — not throwing a party). Net-net: It turns out that the Beosound A1 2nd Gen was a no compromises purchase for my requirements. The form factor perfectly matches my minimal Mac setup, the conferencing functionality is great and the sound quality is exceptional for my musical tastes. This product is of the best purchases I’ve made. ... show more

  • Best one that i tried out of several
Color: Anthracite
I ordered about a dozen bluetooth speakers so i can try them side by side. Honestly, most were really good when listened to by themselves, but once you start comparing them in an A/B test you really start to hear the subtle differences that make some speakers better than others. This speaker is not the best for booming bass, so if that's your thing, you may want to look elsewhere. what you do get is a clear, accurate and wide sound stage. There is low end to be had and i think it is in perfect balance in contrast to some other speakers that were so bass forward as to be a bit boomy. The speaker is also very aesthetically pleasing, lightweight and easy to take with you for traveling. Bluetooth connectivity was quick, easy and 100% hassle free whereas some of the other top models out there had trouble connecting or random disconnects or dropouts. my only complaint - if i absolutely had to make one - would be that it does not come with any type of carrying or travel case. A simple felt bag would have been nice just to protect it from scuffs or scratches, but i can probably find an old Crown bag or something to put it in. Buy this speaker - you WILL like it ... show more

  • Incredibly good sound for the size
Color: Grey Mist
Incredibly good sound for the size. Pairing with the iPhone was tricky. B&O offers an app to do that, but it was not recognized by the iOS meaning that iTunes music and other apps used the internal loudspeaker of the phone. Shutting down the B&O app and switching Bluetooth on and off for several times to discover the loudspeaker finally worked. Excellent product. ... show more

  • Excellent sound from a speaker with a bad habit
Color: Sport
B&O strikes again. Cleanly designed speaker with easily manipulated controls. Quite nice build quality. The sound for such a small speaker is endearing. Very smooth although a bit bass heavy. No treble screech when pushed…in fact, very little notable distortion when cranking it up with TI or Electric Six. A very enjoyable sound that can be listened to without ear fatigue. BUT…..it has one very annoying habit. When plugged in to charge, it immediately turns itself on and then connects to any active Bluetooth connection it can locate, many times disconnecting what’s already connected. No other wireless speaker I’ve used does this, incl Bose, JBL, Oonz, UE, etc. Darned annoying when I’m on my headphones and plug in the B&O to charge only to have it start blasting what was previously thru the cans. ... show more

  • By far the best Bluetooth speaker I have ever had.
Color: Anthracite
I have had speakers by Sony, JBL, UE, Bose and all of them together would not give me the sound I get from this beautiful B&O. It has a lot of bass, need to be on a firm surface because everything around it trembles. Battery life is outstanding, and it gives very good sound the first time that you turn it on (contrary to other brands that need several hours of use before giving decent sound). Highly recommended! ... show more
