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

PROS - the sound quality is pretty solid MINUS - the price when you consider other cons - the stereo mode was difficult to set up, it's unreliable and not worth the effort - the bluetooth Connection was unstable - battery at any reasonable volume is terrible - weight is pretty crazy, especially considering battery life (and weight should be) GENERAL IMPRESSIONS We rated this based on first impressions of the sound quality which is really good. However, the app is terrible, the connection is unreliable, the weight is way too much to ever really justify traveling (especially in your carry-on/backpack) and all for a pretty steep price! Much better prices exist, including some Bose portable speakers (although I think Bose is overpriced, they're still more useful than this B&O). We will find someone to donate our B&O to and will most likely stay away from this brand in the future.
