Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A1 is lightweight, stylish and fits right in the palm of your hand! The battery life is excellent too, lasting up to 24 hours... but how does it rank compared to other Bluetooth speakers on the market? We asked our buds at What Hi-Fi and TechRadar for their opinions on the Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A1.
What Hi-Fi say...
Noting that the BeoPlay A1 doesn't have the best sound out there, the peeps at What Hi-Fi say it brings "luxury performance into a lower price bracket".
They go on to revel in the speaker's design, its lengthy battery life and its "clear, full-bodied sound", despite admitting the sound needs "more sparkle and attack".
"It may bring B&O’s entry-level price down, but doesn’t drag its hardy reputation down with it."
