I bought this one.

Surely nothing special, nothing fancy - just a travelling case....

....which is what I wanted.

BeoGreg, stop tempting me :) 

I noticed that my favourite fashion website MR PORTER have the A1 listed in stock now! That would be my choice of place to buy.

I bought one of those felt jobs off eBay Chris, and it felt a bit too home made to be honest. A little rough!

Anyway the dog ate it amongst other things, so I'm just resigning myself to the odd bump or scratch. It's a fairly solid thing.

Hallo, beim Kauf eines Bluetooth-Lautsprechers gibt es einiges zu beachten.
Am wichtigsten ist die Frage wo und wofür Du einen mobilen Lautsprecher nutzen willst. Willst Du ihn primär zu Hause im Wohnzimmer nutzen, solltest du geringeren Wert auf die Größe der Box legen und höheren Wert auf die Soundqualität. Wenn Du viel unterwegs bist und deine Musik überall mithinnehmen willst, solltest Du andersherum eher einen kleineren und handlicheren Lautsprecher auswählen. Was genau schwebt Dir vor? Willst Du deine Musik nur für ein paar Stunden mit zum Strand nehmen oder über das ganze Wochenende beim Camping? Dementsprechend ist es wichtig auf eine passende Akkulaufzeit zu achten. Die Akkulaufzeiten reichen von 8 Stunden bis hin zu 24 Stunden Musik am Stück! Du bist eine Wasserratte und verbringst gerne Zeit in Freibädern, Seen und Stränden? Kein Problem. Kaufe Dir eine wasserdichte Boombox und nimm deine Musik ohne Sorgen mit ans Wasser. Auch für Sportskanonen gibt es geeignete Modelle. Ein Beispiel sind Lautsprecher mit einem Clip. So kannst Du die Box einfach z.B. an deinem Fahrradsattel oder deiner Hose befestigen. Für die richtigen Partypeople unter euch gibt es sogar Boomboxen mit eingebauten, programmierbaren LED-Leuchten, die im Takt der Musik leuchten. So wirst Du zum Mittelpunkt jeder Party. Bei diesem Boombox Tester gibt es einen Produktfilter, wo Du mobile Lautsprecher ganz individuell nach deinen Kriterien filtern kannst.

Schöne Grüße!

Nice to see the A1 mentioned in October's Vanity Fair magazine! This is the first print magazine that i've seen it in :) Very surprised that Conde Nast Traveller have not picked it up yet!

That's awesome Simon. B&O PLAY seem to have a great team - shame in a way that it can't yet have its own showroom / boutique. For me, its just such a nicer feeling brand.

You can pair two A1's without using the app.

Has anybody tried replacing the battery with a higher capacity one?

Sounds interesting - I'm powering with external 20.000mah battery pack.

It looks like an easy swap changing the battery. All that's needed is a new pack made with 2 x 18650's in series, wired with the correct 3pin connector, so 3500mAh high drain cells should work nicely.

Hi,

the new Beoplay A1 is already released yet. I have tested it and I am very amazed.
There is no better Boombox with an comperable size. Just awesome! I wrote an article about the A1. It is quite expensive, indeed, but it´s ´worth!

Best wishes,

Coco :-)

Hi MM,
Hi everybody,

I was thinking of using the A1 as a TV speaker as well.
Has anyone already tested if the A1 goes to standby, if the line-in sends no audio signal (TV off)  but the the power supply stays plugged into the speaker?

Hello,

 

for some reason I could not access the video from within the software updater. I could access the videos of other products fine, but nor for the A1. I am stuck on one step, turning the DFU-mode on. On the other devices you start them by pressing volume + and -, and power. Does not seem to work with the A1. Any suggestion?

Thanks!

The A1 will go into standby even while plugged in after there is no line-in (or other) audio for ~10 - 15 minutes.

My unit was faulty. It was probably one of the earlier models as the one they sent me to replace it appears better finished.
