A1 - Portable Speaker

BEOPLAY A1

Life is an adventure.Some epic. Some everyday.
The ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker that will travel with you anywhere and bring more sound and more bass into your life - wherever it's happening that moment.

TRUE 360 SOUND

More sound. More bass.
Packing a punch well beyond its weight and size, Beoplay A1 has ambient True 360 sound – so the sound dispersion is great wherever you put it. And with a peak power of 2x140 W you won't have to huddle round it to enjoy your music.

PORTABILITY

Even the heaviest beats are easy to carry.
Beoplay A1 is small enough to sit in the palm of your hand, it weighs only 600g, and because of its shape (with no protruding buttons or legs) it is easy to store in your bag or slip into a pocket. So you can take it anywhere you go and enjoy Bang & Olufsen Signature Sound when you get there.

MATERIALS

Form and function in harmony.
The rounded aluminium grill is both a thing of beauty and of strength, and together with the double-moulded polymer base, it forms a strong protective shell for the components within. Cool aluminium. Warm polymer. Soft leather. Simply put, Beoplay A1 is amazing to touch and hold in your hand.

24hours BATTERY LIFE

Play on.
With up to 24 hours* of battery life, Beoplay A1 will still be playing long after most competitors have gone silent. And when you do eventually need to charge it, Beoplay A1's smart charging system will adapt charging speed to match the capacity of the USB charger you are using – so it will quickly be ready for the next adventure.*At a moderate volume level.

DURABILITY

Every scratch tells a story.
Splash and dust resistant, Beoplay A1 is designed to take its fair share of bumps and scrapes while still protecting the delicate drivers and electronics inside. The more it travels with you, the more stories it can tell.

MICROPHONE

I hear you loud and clear.
Beoplay A1 has a built-in microphone for making calls, and because of the rimmed design around the base of the unit, the microphone gives uniform speech sensitivity 360º around the speaker. This makes voice recognition at the other end of the call much easier.

DESIGN

Sounds better than a painting
Beoplay A1 is great to use indoors as well. A perfect partner when travelling and staying in hotels, and also super convenient around the home. Hang it up, put it on a table, (it looks good anywhere) and fill your living space with sound.
