The B&O Play Beoplay A1 is both a beautiful and wonderful sounding speaker. It rivals more expensive Bluetooth speakers for sound quality and its battery life is also stellar. Provided you don't need waterproofing it also makes for a great outdoor compani...
Solid, weighty sound, Decent bass, Tonally balanced, Gorgeous design, Can pair with another A1, Generous battery life,
Sound lacks sparkle and rhythm,
But while needing to better negotiate its weighty, solid sound with more sparkle and attack, the A1 does stand out in the smorgasbord of quality that is the portable Bluetooth speaker market, with good (and practical) looks, generous battery life and a cl...

No microUSB port
At Rs. 17,990, the B&O Beoplay A1 is one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers to buy. It offers excellent detail and balance of audio, good soundstaging, a signature tone of richness and luxury, and all the finesse you could hope for. Add to that relia...
Brilliant sound output, Great design, Lasting battery
Even at a pretty high price tag of Rs 18,000, we think that the Beoplay A1 Bluetooth speaker is a very good buy. The only downside - the heating issue on prolonged usage, can be lived with, considering the other plus points such as the well-balanced audio...
