Bang & Olufsen 4+

A True Audio Companion

I’ve gone through countless portable speakers, but none have won me over like the B&O A1 1st & 2nd Gen. This speakers has truly become a part of my life, offering an unmatched listening experience that I simply can’t get enough of. The detailed sound quality and smooth, deep bass make it easy to lose yourself in music for hours on end—if I had the time, I’d easily listen for 24 hours straight. Every note feels rich and full, bringing out the best in every track.

While I’m keen to explore the next level of sound, at this point, the B&O A1 fits perfectly within my budget. If I’m lucky enough, I hope to step up to an even higher tier in the future. Until then, this speaker is more than enough to satisfy my love for music, delivering an immersive, high-quality experience every single day.

Simple but all functional

For just the app, it is stable, functional, easy to use and comes with decent interface.
Highlight: customising the presets to your listening preference. Now, who wants to get into the B&O please read further.
I’m not an audiophile however, have ears for good sound and the expectation to be as near to the source production. B&O as a lifestyle product always have had inclination. Eventually that inclination grew into buying Beosound stage. I have LG C9 so picked the Beoone remote as well for my family living room. This replaced my 5.1 separates gave the space a very modern, minimalist look. Sound wise yes it’s not a full replacement but certainly a very close match.
The Virtual surround works best in my opinion. I think it relies on the positioning. Though have 2 options, mounted on wall is the best for my space.

Different menus

Different menu options shown in app page. Actual app doesn’t have options like sound settings. Getting worse. Been trying to connect line-in to my Beolit 20 sine a month. Doesn’t work. Manual support and instructions are also poor.
