Hi,

I received my Beoplay A1 and connected it via USB to my Laptop.

Once I'm recording audio and playing music the Beoplay A1 changes into an "conference" mode where it uses Acoustic Echo Cancellation etc. (that was the thing I was searching for!). But in the "conference" mode the speaker also drops massively it's audio quality (and volume).

It sounds like a 10 € Speaker... I guess it turns one of the speakers in the Beoplay A1 off (only a guess).

My questions:

- Is this correct behaviour?

- If yes, is it planned to change this via Firmware Update?

- Would it be possible to set the Beoplay into a mode where it can record audio and listen to music in the "normal" audio quality without acoustic echo cancellation / with less accurate acoustic echo cancellation ?

I would love to have a speaker that has amazing audio quality but is also capable to be used for voice calls at the same time.

Thanks for all replies in advance :-)
