Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1: The Ultimate Bluetooth Speaker Experience

Explore the enhanced features of the iconic Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 Bluetooth speaker, now with improved sound and design.

Introduction to the Beosound A1

There aren't many Bluetooth speakers that I'd call "iconic," but the Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 definitely fits the bill. This luxurious little soundbox has made its grand return in its third generation, boasting punchier bass and extended battery life. B&O has also taken strides to enhance its repairability.

Design Enhancements

The Beosound A1 3rd generation marks another collaboration between B&O and Danish industrial designer Cecilie Manz. While the design has seen some tweaks, especially the metallic clasp on the waterproof leather strap and an array of new color options, it still maintains that signature look. It resembles a delectable burger bun with 2173 precisely drilled holes, ensuring that the internal speakers can deliver powerful sound. Now, you can choose from nature-inspired shades like honey or eucalyptus, along with the classic natural aluminum finish.

Sound Quality and Performance

In the two years since the last release of Beosound A1, B&O engineers have found ways to squeeze even more bass out of the compact speakers. The largest bass driver in its class now delivers a sound pressure level (SPL) of 64 dB, making it easier to fill your room with sound.

Connectivity features

Equipped with a high-quality aptX Bluetooth module, the Beosound A1 also features Microsoft Swift Pair and Google Fast Pair for quick setup. The three-microphone array allows you to use the A1 for hands-free calls when connected to your smartphone.

Stereo Mode and Versatility

Do you own two A1s? You can connect them in stereo mode for a superior sound experience. What’s great is that you can mix and match the 2nd and 3rd generation models, which is convenient since the 1st and 2nd generations couldn't be paired together.

Durability and Battery Life

This device remains dust and waterproof with an IP67 rating, making it suitable for nearly any environment: bedroom, bathroom, or beach. The battery life has been extended to up to 24 hours (up from 18 hours in the older model), allowing you to jam out all day and night before needing to recharge via USB-C.

Sustainability and Repairability

The Beosound A1 is also certified Cradle to Cradle, a first for Bluetooth speakers, meaning it can be largely recycled. Plus, the battery is replaceable (with the help of a B&O specialist), which is a boon for long-term ownership.

Pricing

Compared to its predecessor, the price has seen a slight increase. You’ll need to shell out around $349 to bring this beauty home.

In conclusion, the Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 continues to raise the bar for Bluetooth speakers, offering a blend of exquisite design, top-notch sound quality, and durability. Are you ready to enhance your audio experience with this stunning speaker?
