No one wants a dead music box out at the pool when you invited people over

Sure, there are limits - you don't get the crisp and pristine sound of the A9 in a package the size (and price) of the Beolit, but it's not the kind of sound that makes you want to get up and turn it off after half an hour...just honest music in a smaller package

The B&O app also allows you to customize the side, from more soft music, to deeper bass

This feature is EXTREMELY important to me as I love my music LOUD and playing a LONG time.

I was expecting closer to 18 or 20 with normal use, and 12 to 14 with louder music and a higher base

It is expensive but if you like your music deep and expressive sounding, this BT speaker will satisfy....from Rock and roll to classical

The sophisticated design with its aluminum shell casing protects your music in any location

This feature is EXTREMELY important to me as I love my music LOUD and playing a LONG time.

Highs are higher, lows are lower and I am having a ball rediscovering some of my favorite music.
