  • 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

  • Clear sound and beautiful
Color: Gold Tone
Perfect for podcasts and light music. Not super strong on the bass; go with a Bose Soundflex if you need strong bass.

  • Sweet sound
Color: Green
For you audiophiles, this is the best in class.....in my opinion. I have Sonos Roam. It does not connect without making it work each time. The B&O connects instantly and if you want to hear all your instruments as I do, don't get the Roam. The B&O gives me great pleasure to listen to. I would put the Bose Soundlink Mini II is my second favorite, and the Sonos third. The Sonos Roam, some like, but a muted sound compared to the full range B&O. The Beosound A1 Gen2 has perfect bass but not the thundering bass on the Roam. Some might like the Roam better, was very disappointed the muffled sound and connectivity. ... show more

  • So far so good
Color: Grey Mist
Sound is really great. Battery life seems good tho I have not yet worked it hard. Love that it's waterproof. The app IMO is junk. Way too complex and it does things like prompt you to update the software even if the battery is too low to do this safely. I bricked my first one that way, even though I thought I was following all the instructions. Their support guy said, "Sir, are you telling me you FAILED to charge the device when you recieved it???" Um well NONE of the product info mentioned that, just said Start The App. Stupid me, doing what they said. You're supposed to know better. Well never mind, good sound is worth a lot. ... show more

  • B&O is so good quality I bought two of these! (one a gift for a doctor)
Color: Anthracite
B&O is audiophile equipment. I bought one of their lineal tangential turntables decades ago and came upon this bluetooth speaker by chance; I had bought a lesser product on Amazone to save $ and the audio quality wasn't to par so I decided to pay more $ for B&O and am SOOOO happy I did. I am not disappointed at all, so good sound quality for a single portable unit that I bought another proudly as a gift to a physician (I wouldn't give substandard product to a doctor, would you)? I've only charged the battery once and it's lasted for now for about 3 weeks with about 1-2 hours use per day average. This may be a rough estimate, but kid you not, I don't have to recharge this unit every day or even every few days. The sound quality is superb. I have it setting on a piano top and get plenty of bass. I can hear the mid and high tones well for instruments, and vocals sound realistic, as if at a small venue concert. Now, I am wondering what the dual unit stereo arrangement would sound like! The mobile app is unique, I've never seen a circular dial display to adjust the treble/bass variably and with as fine variations for an audio device. It's almost as if you had a potentiometer at your fingertips but really via a screen display! Ingenious! I love this unit, it's worth every penny, it is worthy to be offered in the B&O product line. ... show more
