Review on πŸ”Š Premium Portable Acoustics: Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 2nd Gen - 60W Gold Tone by Bima ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

This is B&O. The sound is warm and pleasant. Yes, this is not a stereo pair, it is not a full-fledged acoustics for listening in a chair, but it is very good for its size, for transferring from one room to another. And if you make a stereo pair, then they generally write that "fire". I also have a Beosound P6 which is bulkier. In comparison, the A1 sounds cleaner, but with less bass intensity. P6 has powerful bass and I even have a lot of it for 20 mΒ², it is significantly louder than A1 at maximum. The A1 has less bass, but is more detailed and balanced across the stage. Now, if offered to choose between P6 and A1, I would take A1. I can compare Marshal Acton 2 - Marshal is beautiful in the interior and there the sound is relatively warm and good for jazz, but it still lacks something. B&O knows how to create magic in audio and a warm, "tasty" sound.

Pros
  • Detailed sound. Nice bass. Convenient connection. Holds a charge well.
Cons
  • Sometimes, if you turn the middle bass to max in the settings, it starts to wheeze. It probably hasn't warmed up yet.
