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

The app is really well designed, yet simple.

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

Also, their elegant design is apparent in the rounded edges and curves

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

Gorgeous design.

The design of the components has landed them in many museums as examples of the finest industrial design

I love great design.

The draw is the more compact housing and overall design.
