I love my B&O speaker. Exceeded my expectation. Thank you for the prompt delivery. And I am so happy I got it on sale price. Expensive speaker but worth each cent. The best speaker I have ever owned. I love the color, very durable and says it is dustproof and water proof.

I have 2x Beosound A1 2nd Gen and I love both of them, when I use them in Stereo Pair. I don't recommend you to buy the same color for Stereo Pair, as you won't be sure which one is which. Battery life is not the best thing you can except from A1 in high volumes. Most of the magic goes away if you're planning to use it more than 125/150 volume. Design is beautiful, slim, and feels great. It can stand in its side if you block its way, or it will roll like a wheel. It supports SBC, AAC, aptX and aptX Adaptive. You can also use USB-C as a audio input, while charging. A1 is not turning off itself while plugged in, so you can choose a place and use it whenever you want, just connect through Bluetooth. Moreover it won't drop Stereo-Pair connection between speakers if both plugged in to power, even days won't matter. You can Stereo-Pair 2nd Gen A1 with 3rd Gen A1. Sound quality and level is perfect for its portability and dimensions. I added photos of various common headphones (B&O Beoplay EX, Portal, H95; Sony WH-1000XM4 and XM5) so you can have some idea about its size. It's great if you buy it in discount. Buy A1 2nd Gen instead of A1, definitely!!! (I still love my Explore's too)

I've just bought the B&O A1 (gen 2), previously I've owned a JBL charge 6, 4, JBL XXX, jbl GO, etc... but was never satisfied. I think this is the much better speaker, overall. I am generally listening inside and travelling, and to classical, occasionally everything (not pop, rap, etc). ### Charge & batt. They both charge over USB-C, which IMO is now essential. Possibly the JBL has better battery, it always seemed to last forever!? ### Bluetooth The JBL has better Bluetooth - for whatever reason it just connects better. The JBL compares well with my other seamless BT products: Sony XM3 headphones, and Jabra Elite earbuds -both great! The A1, on first connection, often needs a couple of tries, from a Samsung S22. Occasionally there is a brief sound interference, ~static. Once it's up, it's fine. ### Sound JBL is louder, and bassier, it's more of a party, outdoors speaker! (it's rather impressive!) A1 I much prefer to hear (I favour clarity and accuracy). It's clearer, more accurate, more revealing, has tighter bass, and better sound stage. ### Physical looks JBL looks like a party speaker! I never liked looking at it, I like the Scandi/Jap. aesthetic. I bought it based on the consistently excellent review, particularly from WhatHiFi. JBL should make an 'executive' version without the logo and subtler colours! I do hate logos! A1 has great design, and is much less obtrusive. It also feels higher quality, a German build quality (like a VW door!) with a harmonious, natural aesthetic. ### Overall Pudding proof: I listen to music much more over the A1 than I did with the JBL. The A1 feels a little like an apple product - if they would improve the BT.

If you looking for something really exceptional regarding sound quality then nothing can beat this. It looks small but this works really well. Sound perfect, quality perfectly tuned with B&o pre set equalizers modes in app. The thump is sweet * Don't expect very loud thump * Battery: Surprisingly, amazing backup. Only con : The connectivity Update. 8th Feb, there is no connectivity issue at all..keep your location services on for it & you are good to go. Am using Bose soundlink flex as well but this takes the trophy for me.
