I LOVE this speaker. Easy connectivity, great sound/performance. Worth the investment!
I do wish the battery life was a little longe

B&O strikes again. Cleanly designed speaker with easily manipulated controls. Quite nice build quality. The sound for such a small speaker is endearing. Very smooth although a bit bass heavy. No treble screech when pushed…in fact, very little notable distortion when cranking it up with TI or Electric Six. A very enjoyable sound that can be listened to without ear fatigue.
BUT…..it has one very annoying habit. When plugged in to charge, it immediately turns itself on and then connects to any active Bluetooth connection it can locate, many times disconnecting what’s already connected. No other wireless speaker I’ve used does this, incl Bose, JBL, Oonz, UE, etc. Darned annoying when I’m on my headphones and plug in the B&O to charge only to have it start blasting what was previously thru the cans.

My Beats Pill finally died after having it over ten years. I love my Pill but the B&O reviews were better! I can see why – the sound is superior! There’s actually bass on it! For a small portable speaker, it has been amazing and the final test will be to see if it’s as durable as the Pill which was a tank. I haven’t dropped B&O yet and I hope it will survive when I do! The only complaint is the control buttons do not lit up nor are they raised so they are hard to find at night and/or without your glasses. Otherwise, I love it!

I have had speakers by Sony, JBL, UE, Bose and all of them together would not give me the sound I get from this beautiful B&O. It has a lot of bass, need to be on a firm surface because everything around it trembles. Battery life is outstanding, and it gives very good sound the first time that you turn it on (contrary to other brands that need several hours of use before giving decent sound).

I ordered about a dozen bluetooth speakers so i can try them side by side.
Honestly, most were really good when listened to by themselves, but once you start comparing them in an A/B test you really start to hear the subtle differences that make some speakers better than others.
This speaker is not the best for booming bass, so if that’s your thing, you may want to look elsewhere.
what you do get is a clear, accurate and wide sound stage. There is low end to be had and i think it is in perfect balance in contrast to some other speakers that were so bass forward as to be a bit boomy.
The speaker is also very aesthetically pleasing, lightweight and easy to take with you for traveling.

Incredibly good sound for the size. Pairing with the iPhone was tricky. B&O offers an app to do that, but it was not recognized by the iOS meaning that iTunes music and other apps used the internal loudspeaker of the phone. Shutting down the B&O app and switching Bluetooth on and off for several times to discover the loudspeaker finally worked. Excellent product.
