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.
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
it boomed out with a reasonable range of treble to bass and was very pleasant to listen to
The tap to pause and play feature doesn't work as well as it could
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
, B&O is expensive, but you are getting an excellent speaker that will probably last a decade or more.
The instructions are online, buried at the B&O website – annoying!-Charge does seem to last a “long”
This is the most powerful of all current B&O portable speakers.

The sound quality is absolutely stunning given the size
As far as sound quality, like most other mini speakers, this has exaggerated bass and highs, with less definition in the mid range.
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.
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.
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
The design of the components has landed them in many museums as examples of the finest industrial design
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 draw is the more compact housing and overall 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

, B&O is expensive, but you are getting an excellent speaker that will probably last a decade or more.
I finally only got it to work after downloading the (free) B&O Play app
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

Compared to other B&O portable speakers, it’s the lightest of them all
Volume and it's adjustability is limited to the device it's paired with

Ignore the reviewers that mention it only being able to fill a tiny room or not enough bass

OMG it came out of the play with a very satisfactory bass and flawless highs
It has wonderful bass (maybe a bit too much or too muddy) but overall excellent and far better than the cheap blue tooth speakers
I just kept it at the default.- Looks like we will need the app for any firmware updates
The app wasn't very intuitive and there is no manual included in the box, just a legal disclaimer packet
The app worked fine on my S8 and the speaker worked well without any firmware update.
The app seems to demand your GPS location permission or it won't work 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

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
