Review on Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A1 Chestnut Portable Bluetooth Speaker: Enhanced with Microphone by Alicia Jones

I'm a Bang & Olufsen fan. I have their flagship speaker system Beolab 5. I am also the proud owner of Beolab 10, 8000, 4000 and 6000. If Beoplay was my first experience with B&O I wouldn't even bother with this brand. This review is for the A1, but the issues apply to all products in the Beoplay range. (He currently owns a Beloit 12, 17 and A2. Communication sucks. Constant pairing between two A1s is a nightmare. Battery is a joke. 2 hours is what you can expect MAX. I spend more time on Beoplay -Charging and swearing products than to really enjoy them.The sound quality is excellent and meets B&O standards.This is the only bright spot with the A1 and other Beoplay products.
