Reviews around unit (5.00 of 5)

  • For cars that are not smartphone compatable, this unit works and sounds quite good in the car.
  • These units sound great and work awesome for about 3 days or so

Reviews around range (4.16 of 5)

  • 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 tap to pause and play feature doesn't work as well as it could
  • 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 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.
  • The range was good, notably the high end over the bass, but that’s expected, I think

Reviews around size (4.10 of 5)

  • All in all, Minirig Mini is a better quality and less expensive mini size portable speaker.
  • So, to recap, excellent sound, fantastic size, but marred by the choice of USB-C interface for charging.
  • All in all, Minirig Mini is a better quality and less expensive mini size portable speaker.
  • 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
  • The speaker has a great sound and size is perfect for traveling

Reviews around quality (3.95 of 5)

  • As far as sound quality, like most other mini speakers, this has exaggerated bass and highs, with less definition in the mid range.
  • The sound quality on this thing is very good, especially for bluetooth and something this size.
  • However, the Sony XB10 Portable Wireless Speaker with Bluetooth, Red (2017 model) is a more user friendly and cheaper bluetooth speaker for much lower price with inferior sound quality compared to the more expensive Bang & Olufsen P2 speaker.
  • All in all, an excellent quality speaker with the best sound quality I've heard.
  • The tap to pause and play feature doesn't work as well as it could

Reviews around design (3.86 of 5)

  • 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
  • 1 star off for not so great battery life, no universal micro/mini USB charger, clumsy power button design (hard to press and have to hold), useless feature of shake/tap to play/skip/pause and price
  • And I really just love the feel, and overall design of the speaker.
  • The design of the components has landed them in many museums as examples of the finest industrial design
  • 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

Reviews around product (3.72 of 5)

  • The instructions are online, buried at the B&O website – annoying!-Charge does seem to last a “long”
  • 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.
  • 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.

Reviews around volume (3.54 of 5)

  • Volume and it's adjustability is limited to the device it's paired with
  • This is the most powerful of all current B&O portable speakers.
  • Next issue - the volume now only has 2 options: mute or on (and the “on” level is not very loud).
  • This little speaker delivers big rich sound with characteristic B&O clarity way out of proportion to its diminutive size
  • Clear crisp highs and decent lows at virtually any reasonable sound volume.

Reviews around bass (3.07 of 5)

  • Unfortunately I was unable to find a different manufacturer of speakers with a c type microusb plug, and a flimsy b type plug is normally the first thing to break on a speaker rendering it useless.
  • Ignore the reviewers that mention it only being able to fill a tiny room or not enough bass
  • As far as sound quality, like most other mini speakers, this has exaggerated bass and highs, with less definition in the mid range.
  • but you will hear clean tight bass, mids and clean bright highs
  • 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.

Reviews around app (3.02 of 5)

  • The app worked fine on my S8 and the speaker worked well without any firmware update.
  • The lack of manual or written instructions is made up for by the (surprisingly) intuitive app showing a quick tutorial involving no buttons on the speaker at all.
  • The app offers other options for the tap and shake functions – Alarm, Tonetouch (Sound Presets), Last Played Song (Remembers last song), Voice (Invokes Siri) or None
  • 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
  • So far no problems with the device freezing although the app is still buggy

Reviews around shake (1.00 of 5)

  • The tap to pause and play feature doesn't work as well as it could
  • The touch-shake sensor pauses playback at high volumes, so I had to disable it.
  • The shake to go to the next song is a bit gimmicky, but tapping to pause is very useful
  • , phone answer/hang up, for music there a shake that changes to the next song, etc
