Beolit 17 remains extremely similar to the less powerful Beolit 15: it features the same aluminum and plastic design, the same iconic leather strap, and the same 24-hour battery life estimate off a 2200mAh rechargeable battery." from a review

Also, the BeoLit 17 is not compatible with the Beo4 remote control.

The Beolit 17 is fun to use and also $100 cheaper than the older Beolit 12 and 15, coming in at $499

Some of B&O's other speakers also support WiFi and things like Apple AirPlay, but not the Beolit

Like some of B&O's other newer products, the Beolit is also very good at projecting a 360 degree sound pattern

Size wise, the Beolit 17 is not small but not too big

Since we lost our Beolit 12, I had purchased an H&K Onyx 4 (on sale for $150)

The B&O Play Beolit 17 is another in the very fine line of portable B&O speakers

However, I have to say B&O blew me away with this speaker.
