I like it a lot!! I like the fact that they decided to use alu as well. That always gives the idea of being solid. That makes it a valuable product to the eyes of many.

I'm a little puzzled as to why it might have a microphone.

Might be that you can use it as a conference speaker.

I have this very handy lookalike:

Yes it's for conference calls. Harmon Kardon released one two years ago. Hopefully it should be as good as the tiny BOSE one - that takes a lot of beating sound wise for its size and price point.

It was a 'sneak-leak'.

Oh dear... Bang & Olufsen needs new designers very fast... all this retro looking stuff. :-( But I'll judge finally when I've seen it live.

Hi all,

Just come back from listening to the A1 (I was blindfolded for the journey by B&O, so I can't tell you where it was) Cool and I have to say it is absolutely SUPERB Yes - thumbs up

I played a few tracks through the A1 from my iPhone, in particular "No Sanctuary Here" by Chris Jones (one of the Beolab 90 test tracks) really blew me away.  I couldn't believe (even after years of listening to B&O speakers) just how rich and deep the sound was from such a tiny speaker.

I would rate this above the A2 for volume, clarity and sound quality.  Needless to say, I came straight back to the workshop and sorted out some cables to get the best from the A1 Geeked

When your local dealer gets them in stock, take your favourite tracks on a portable music player and go for a listen, you won't be disappointed!

Kind regards, Steve.

Steve.
