Price can be hurdle for some, Controls faintly printed on speaker
Yes, R5 000 is fair bit to paying for a portable speaker, but the A1 is well designed, delivers good sound and proves itself an all-rounder in a number of scenarios. For consumers that want a compact portable speaker that has well balanced mixed of listen...
Beautiful, luxurious design, Rich, detailed and pristine audio delivery, Long battery life
No microUSB port
At Rs. 17,990, the B&O Beoplay A1 is one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers to buy. It offers excellent detail and balance of audio, good soundstaging, a signature tone of richness and luxury, and all the finesse you could hope for. Add to that relia...
Brilliant sound output, Great design, Lasting battery
