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.

First of all, I have a B&O A1, the "silver hamburger," as my kids call it, and it is one of my favorite Bluetooth sound devices ever

There are far less expensive bluetooth speakers available but this is in a different class of sound quality.

The speaker is only Bluetooth compatible - there's no way to plug your iPhone into it - but pairing it with the phone was simple and easy

I've heard most of the popular bluetooth speakers and I've always been underwhelmed by the sound.

It's attractive, compact, colorful, rechargeable, and Bluetooth-connected

The B&O Play Beoplay P2 is a compact, easy to use bluetooth speaker that just works

The B&O Play is a powerful Bluetooth speaker that hooked-up easily to my iPhone and Andriod Tablet.

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay P2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker comes smartly packaged with seemingly no directions on operation beyond symbology.

I compared the Beoplay P2 portable bluetooth speaker with the Sony XB10 Portable Wireless Speaker with Bluetooth, Red (2017 model) which I also own

This is a nice bluetooth speaker.

Tap feature (on/off, etc.) not always responsiveShould include a protective case at this priceSummary:B&O always makes high-quality portable sound systems, and this is probably the nicest-sounding bluetooth speaker I've ever heard

And best of all, like the Soundlink II, it has a small microphone to make it an exceptional Bluetooth speakerphone

It sounds just as good as my Sony SRSX55/BLK Powerful Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Black) - maybe even a little better as the bass isn't quite as punchy as the Sony (my listening tastes appear to be changing as I don't like thumping bass anymore).

This is absolutely the best small Bluetooth

The B&O Play P2 speaker is a beautiful and a very capable bluetooth speaker

$170 is not chump change specially considering what other more affordable bluetooth speakers cost

App and Setup:- App attempted to connect over Bluetooth automatically to the speaker but failed

The Beoplay P2 is definitely one of the best sounding portable Bluetooth speakers out

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.

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.

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

I finally only got it to work after downloading the (free) B&O Play app

This is the most powerful of all current B&O portable speakers.

This B&O is also MUCH more superior than my KEF MUO Wireless Bluetooth Speaker - Racing Blue which is roughly twice the price of the

If B&O makes big improvements to its app and devotes more effort to explaining how to use their stuff versus wowing potential customers with overproduced webpage marketing videos, eventually you will be able to realize the P2's full potential.

Compared to other B&O portable speakers, it’s the lightest of them all

B&O has always had a reputation for making HiFi gear that was both stylish and good sounding- the perfect stereo to compliment your MCM or Danish Modern furnshings

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

B&O wins!I played Spotify on both speakers with the same songs by Led Zeppelin, Audioslave, NWA, Beastie Boys, and Taylor Swift

, B&O never fail to impress me with their signature sound.**Update**Had to take 2 star off because after about a week getting it I feel like the battery life is worse than I thought.

This little speaker delivers big rich sound with characteristic B&O clarity way out of proportion to its diminutive size
