High-end Danish audio brands Bang & Olufsen has announced the third generation of his Beosound A1 Bluetooth -Luidspeker. The updated A1 remains just as portable as its predecessor, while maintaining its puck -shaped design and minimalist appearance, but there are some important upgrades under the pearl beamed aluminum scale.
The most important of these is perhaps the larger woofer, which delivers a bass of 64dB, a 2DB improvement compared to the second generation model. Although that sounds modest on paper, B&O claims that it is one that makes the loudspeaker able to comfortably fill a room with a fleshy sound. If you happen to have an older A1, you can form a stereo citizen with the latest model for even more sonic muscle.
The battery life is also increased to 24 hours, which is a considerable six hours more than its predecessor. And although it uses the slightly older Bluetooth 5.1 standard, the new A1 Microsoft Swift -pair and Google Fast Pair supports both of which reduce the steps needed to link devices. The three microphone setup from the previous speaker also finds his way to the A1 3rd gene, so that you can take calls from the device itself.
The updated speaker has an IP67 dust and watertight assessment and has a modular design with which you can replace or upgrade broken or outdated components over time. Bang & Olufsen say it is the first speaker in the world to get a bronze certification from Crib to Wieg. The C2C is a globally recognized sustainability standard that assesses a product from its supply chain to production and coaches companies in minimizing waste. The bronze level awarded to the Beosound A1 is the lowest on the scale of C2C, but it is proof that Bang & Olufsen pays spirit to sustainability.
The Bang & Olufsen A1 3rd gene can be purchased in the same natural aluminum finish as its predecessor, as well as the two “Nature -inspired” colors of honey tone and eucalyptus green. It is available to buy today and costs $ 349.
