Review on Beolit 17 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker by Bang & Olufsen - Stone Grey - BO1280373 by Scott Snyder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent bluetooth speaker!

After reading some reviews of the Beolit17's battery life, I was a bit worried; The best purchase criterion, however, was the best sound quality. Having owned the Beolit17 for a few weeks now, I can confirm the following: 1) The sound quality meets my highest expectations with excellent mids, highs and deep bass. I've played music for other "audiophiles" and everyone has commented on how amazing the speaker sounded both indoors and out. volume, it fills more than my whole garden. In truth, I rarely set the volume above 75%, and that level is loud enough for most situations. 3) The B&O applet is simple but works great for adjusting volume and checking battery life. I played around with the built in equalizer a bit but didn't notice a significant difference. Since it has more than enough bass I usually set it to a slightly BRIGHT level and that seems ideal for most situations. 4) The Bluetooth connection was absolutely reliable when tested with two Windows laptops and two Android phones. ) In terms of battery life, I experience around 6-8 hours on a single charge playing music at an average of 60-75%. When the device's battery reaches around 25% and I want to keep listening, I plug in a USB-C charger (10kmV) and this allows the Beolit17 to play music seamlessly at all volume levels. DO NOT go below 20%, otherwise the volume will automatically decrease and additional charging will be required to raise it above this limit. 6) Beolit17 is very portable; We've even taken it to wineries and placed it on a picnic table at a relatively low volume without anyone whining about us playing music nearby. It's a wonderful accompaniment, and we now have musical accompaniment in situations where it was previously impractical. " Audio cable from the headphone jack to the Beolit17 connector and it worked flawlessly. Honestly I can't find a single fault with this unit and would recommend it unreservedly.
