Enough volume and frequency range to satisfy for a little while while your in a place where it's socially acceptable to use a speaker as opposed to headphones
The tap to pause and play feature doesn't work as well as it could
it boomed out with a reasonable range of treble to bass and was very pleasant to listen to
It has a great range of sound and a battery that lasts twice as long despite being half the size of our wireless Bose
The sound range is good up and down the scale, and the speaker is powerful enough to fill a room, without taking-up lots of room.
Bottom line for me is that the sound is just what I like from B & O and the size is perfect.
Also, like the A1, it is meant to be on the go, with a tough aluminum casing and a size that would make it easy to fit in a jacket pocket or a pouch on a backpack
So, to recap, excellent sound, fantastic size, but marred by the choice of USB-C interface for charging.
The speaker has a great sound and size is perfect for traveling

The sound quality is absolutely stunning given the size
All in all, an excellent quality speaker with the best sound quality I've heard.
Sound quality is good for the size but disappointed how it doesn’t have better gripper feet...as it is, it vibrates off the table - even at low volumes.
Amazing sound quality for a Bluetooth speaker this size
The sound quality is so great on this that it overrides any flaws.
I own quite a bit of B&O and beoplay products:2 Pairs of H6, H3, 2 A1s, a beolit17 and beolit12, A3, Beoplay s8, 2 Beosound8s, Beosound 3 and Beosound1.***This hardware gives me the same horrors I experienced with the defective beosound3 keypad design
And I really just love the feel, and overall design of the speaker.
Sony Wins!The B&O Play is a very elegant black design with only one button on the back of the speaker for on/off
Also, their elegant design is apparent in the rounded edges and curves
The draw is the more compact housing and overall design.
The volume level is the most perplexing issue - guess B&O quality control continues to lag (obviously the company has no idea about or interest in Six Sigma).In an attempt to “fix” the problem I have uninstalled and reinstalled the B&O app, deleted and reestablished the Bluetooth connection, but neither seemed to make a difference.
This little speaker delivers big rich sound with characteristic B&O clarity way out of proportion to its diminutive size
I finally only got it to work after downloading the (free) B&O Play app
First mistake: a minimalist product ALWAYS requires a maximalist user's guide if one is to figure out the device's array of non-intuitive features
After reading other reviews I am also wondering if I might have been sold a defective and previously returned product - while the speaker and wire were wrapped (not sealed) the box itself was not shrink wrapped
This is the most powerful of all current B&O portable speakers.

, B&O is expensive, but you are getting an excellent speaker that will probably last a decade or more.

I say this as every app it has developed reflects bad UI design and low functionality.
I just kept it at the default.- Looks like we will need the app for any firmware updates
The app seems to demand your GPS location permission or it won't work at all
View the app as simply a bonus; the real goods is this beautiful looking and beautifulsounding speaker!
Pros:-Crystal Clear Midrange-Decent Bass-Quality look and feelCons:-Frustrating app and interface-Long charge time/Can't fully use while charging.-Connection issues with bluetooth
The touch-shake sensor pauses playback at high volumes, so I had to disable it.
, phone answer/hang up, for music there a shake that changes to the next song, etc
The tap to pause and play feature doesn't work as well as it could
The shake to go to the next song is a bit gimmicky, but tapping to pause is very useful
