Nats –
Let me start off by saying that the Beosound A1 sound amazing, with full, non-distorting sound, perfect for a minimalist WFH setup. Sadly, after one week, I had to return it. Why? the A1 would periodically drop the bluetooth connection for a second or two, just long enough to ruin listening to music or a podcast. I had hoped that this was an anomaly and things would work out; however, during daily use, the bluetooth connection would drop, forcing me to look for other speaker outputs for listening. I cannot trust Bang & Olufsen to fix this problem, as it is likely related to their firmware rather than the unit itself. And the A1 2nd Gen only connects via bluetooth, as there is no other available input. I do not recommend buying the A! until Bang & Olufsen adds back another input be it usb or audio jack.

Among portable Bluetooth speakers, the sound is considered to be among the highest.
I’ve heard that it’s better to use it as a stereo, so I’m considering purchasing more.

Great sound. It’s not the loudest speaker for it’s size but it has an app to adjust the sound to you like. Bass is really nice even at low level. If you want good sound get this. If you want loud sound get something else

Powerful sound in a portable package! Highly recommend – impressive range, good bass, and loud (enough). Also, incredibly designed!

My biggest issue with this product is that the speaker simply cuts out while I am speaking to people on the phone, or it will never even kick in. So I might ask someone a question and not hear a response because the speaker will just stop working. Or I will call someone and not hear the phone ring or the person pick up. At first I thought I was having network issues with my phone, but then I realized whenever it happened and I switched off the Beosound (to the phone speaker, built-in speakerphone, or other Bluetooth devices), the sound would immediately start working again. So clearly a Beosound issue. Obviously, this is a problem particularly during business calls.
Also, the quality of the sound is not what I expected. It’s pretty good or even great, but not incredible. Some music has a fuzzy sound to it. (I’m really not an expert on this stuff so I would not know how to describe it).
I would probably give it 4 stars if not for the primary issue with sound dropping out, but I am only giving it 2 because that is obviously a glaring issue.

I’ve owned this for several years now and I’m still impressed with this little speaker. This blows away even bigger multi-speakers.
I use this as my main surround sound speaker when watching movies/games on my home projector. I’m picky with sound and this still gives me a satisfying home theater experience.
It’s really impressive for such a small size, the clarity and detail this is capable of. No nasty muffled sound at all. Beautiful sound.
Now for the negatives.
There is no 3.5mm jack!
The button placement is hard to see (hate holding to power on) and it’s not even backlit.
