Just came across the introduction of the A1 make 2, name changed from BeoPlay to Beosound A1, pictures show different aluminum clip with Bang & Olufsen.

€254 on Amazon, think they are a bot early with this announcement..

There no description but my guess is only the name. Interesting if it gets more functionality, it may be part of multiroom setup. I would love that, as I can use it more often around the house

Previous info was some sort of Alexa integration. But I guess that is some connection via bluetooth with the Alexa-app on your phone, like the Google Assistant integration on the headphones.

Based on the pictures it looks like the design of the bottom case has changed (the chamfer is higher/more rounded). 3,5 mm input also appears to be no more.

The symbol for multifunction is changed to play/pause also.

MMm no It doesn't look slimmer... The bottons have changed... and the round logo is now rectagular.

Guess we'll have to wait until it's released.
