Like – cute, water resistant, base sound quality v rich
Dislike – can’t cope with some tracks and the volume goes up and down. A year down the line – keeps dropping Bluetooth signal as well – super annoying
Expensive purchase for it to start malfunctioning after just a year of light use

Lovely Scandi styling. Good volume capacity. Very clear in upper range, bass a bit muffled. But excellent value for money

As i sit on this cold January morning; listeing to smokestack lightnin’ by howlin’ wolf the lovely design of the Bangs & Olufsen speaking banging out the music. Now you yearn more bass this might not be the speaker your looking for. But i love this speaker. Its compact and appeasing to the eye. And i find the sound vibrant (once you mess about with EQ on the app) ok yes it is pricey, but im a fan of this speaker which the size of a canned drink (i dont do product placements 😀)
Though im no audiophile, so cant beguile you with technical wizardary. If your looking for a speaker for one of those loud house parties banging hippity hop this may not be right for you. But if your looking for a beautifully rugid portable bluetooth speaker. Then this could just be for you. So your pondering if i would recommend this speaker…….. yes i would. It is well made and the sound is brilliant. Of course sound is a matter of perspective, some may not agree with me (but ignore them…. i’m always right) hopefully i have helped someone make a decision. If i havent i sincerly apologise.

You don’t expect true high fidelity from a Bluetooth single speaker but B&O have a hifi reputation to defend so I expected something good.
I wasn’t disappointed. Put on the table in our camper van, the sound seems 360 deg and has good clarity.
Some people reckon the bass isn’t too good. In the iPhone app, you have a rather intuitive eq setting you can use. It certainly works for our musical tastes, (acoustic, prog rock, classical etc) but I can’t comment on bass heavy modern pop I suppose.
The battery lasts a long time, it’s waterproof etc so well suited to camping and even looks good. Not quite B&O family resemblance but there again not B&O price either.

I have it wirelessly connected to my phone and tablet, I use the USB lead to plug it into my computer, it seems to have a long life battery, it hasn’t run out, but I do us it for the computer. That also changes it. The portability is great, it tough, and sound is great.

Urrrrgh, it’s just perfect!
It’s genuinely even more wonderful in person.
It’s small enough to hold in the palm of your hand (see photo of it in the palm of my hand), and it’s stunning. I know, looks don’t matter, etc etc, except they absolutely do, of course they do, and this is the Angelina Jolie of speakers; the Ana de Armas of bluetooth… so gorgeous you’ll want to do unspeakable things to it.
I’m not a degenerate, so I’m just using it to play music but, honestly, your mileage may vary, and I won’t judge you for it.
Just quickly, I know apps are a pain, and bloody everything wants you to download a bloody app these days, but this app is worth getting.
You can change your sound mode (adjust bass, etc); use it to pair two speakers together for stereo, etc etc. Definitely worth getting – you’re very limited with what you can do from the unit itself: essentially, on, off, skip, play, and volume control.
It pairs with my phone’s bluetooth easily – catches it first time within a second or so, and makes a delightful plink-plonk sound when you turn it on.
