Beosound A5 - Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Wi-Fi Connection, Carry-Strap, Nordic Weave

The B&O Beosound A5 exceeded my high expectations for an aesthetically beautiful product that could deliver full bodied, nuanced sound in a portable fashion whether indoors or outdoors. It is unquestionably a luxury audiophile quality product targeted at the unusual niche customers seeking exceptional sound quality from a portable, wireless, bluetooth, weather reisistant device that can move effortlessly from room to room, or to the patio or a picnic in the great outdoors. That is what I was hoping for, and that is what I got. I'm a member of two audiophile listening groups and really don't tolerate poor sound quality in any environment, even on the patio for so-called casual listening. I really only want to hear top quality sound or, second best, perfect silence. I felt this unit would deliver a good casual listening experience for entertaining audiophile friends on my patio on summer evenings. However, I didn't really expect that it in would deliver a critical listening experience to my patio or to virtually every room with so little compromise from the quality of my primary, far more elaborate, stereo system. Amazing volume, too. This unit is better than most high quality bookshelf speakers on the market with surprising bass and great separation of voices along the full spectrum of any genre of music. The B&O app also includes an equalizer for fine tuning sound to the user's preference, but I just selected optimal and feel I'm getting optimal. I hesitated before laying out $1,000 for this somewhat gimmicky looking picnic basket styled speaker, but now find it tastefully elegant in person and wonder if I should buy a second for a full stereo experience that could easily serve as a primary stereo system for most critical listeners. It aesthetically pleasing finish is like a piece of nice furniture that you don't want to knock around, but in a refined envronment with respectful treatment, it's perfect. This product is very, very good. And even the app is reasonably organized allowing me to stream from Tidal and Qobuz very quickly after an easy setup, and with striking fidelity. I'm sold on it and will probably buy a second one to add the stereo dimension as soon as I can massage the budget enough to pay for it.

The Beosound A5 is absolutely stunning in every way. The design esthetic is gorgeous and the sound blows me away with each and every song I throw at it. I listen to a lot of instrumental, jazz, lo-fi, alternative, electronic music and the speaker is so crisp with a powerful low end to help give warmth and body when listening. While the speaker sits on the counter plugged in mostly, the fact that the speaker can be portable is an added bonus. And boy can this speaker get loud! The build quality is also impeccable, as is everything I’ve purchased from B&O. The only issue I ran into initially was getting the speaker to connect to the B&O app and synced up with Apple HomeKit. After a quick and easy factory reset of the speaker, everything synced right up and I was on my way enjoying hours of beautifully crafted music.

This is my third Bang and Olufsen product and some days its my favorite speaker in my collection and other days I want to throw it out a window. I'll start with the great. First this is a very premium product and the quality of materials is outstanding. No plastic, just all wood and metal. Feels great and even more importantly it looks great, by far the most stylish speaker I own but not in a flashy way which I appreciate. It is a heavy speaker though so keep that in mind if you want to carry it around everywhere. Sound quality is also excellent with its biggest advantage being how balanced it is. There is deep punchy but controlled bass, clear mids and excellent highs. It does a great job of keeping everything seperated without any range overpowering the others. Battery life is just okay, it will get you through a listening session but I would keep the charge cord handy. If your using this at home I strongly suggest keeping it plugged in. The wireless charger built into this speaker is a nice touch I really love but it does drain the battery quite a bit faster. Now for the bad, the software is half baked and is full of bugs. When I first started using this speaker I almost returned it because there was this unpleasant scratching sound from the bass if you turned the volume past 40%. It also disconnected randomly and I would have to turn the speaker off and on again to get it to connect to my bluetooth again. I ended up factory resetting the speaker again and going through the setup process a second time. Same steps I took the first time but this time the speaker sounds way better, gets way louder without distortion and seems to have resolved its disconnecting issue. But for a product this expensive the software needs to be perfect as well, if the budget brands can do it than Bang and Olufsen certainly could put more effort into this. I'll end with this final though, if you need a portable speaker or a cheaper one in the Bang and Olufsen line up the Beolit 20 is a much better choice. Its about the same size as the A5 but much lighter and easier to carry around. Sound quality is still excellent with it being about 80 to 85% as good as the A5 but at half the cost.

I been buying B&O products for a while. Great sound but very poor quality. This speaker broke after a week. Does not turn on. For this price I would not buy it again. Thanks god was still able to return it.

I’ve been using the B&O Beosound A5 for a few weeks now, and it’s easily one of the best speakers I’ve ever owned. The sound quality is incredibly rich, detailed, and with a strong, deep bass that doesn’t overwhelm. Even at high volume, everything stays clear and balanced. It fills the room effortlessly and sounds great from any angle. The build quality is premium, as you’d expect from Bang & Olufsen. It looks stunning in person – minimalist, elegant, and solid. The handle makes it easy to move around, and I’ve used it both indoors and outside without any issues. Battery life is solid, and the wireless charging pad on top is a nice bonus. I love the picnic basket design, I got the dark oak colour. I also love that it comes with smart features like AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Bluetooth. The app is easy to use and lets you tweak the sound just the way you like it. It even has memory for different sound presets, which is a great touch. If I had to nitpick, there were a couple of times early on where the Bluetooth connection took a moment to sync, but it’s been stable since. Also, it’s definitely a premium-priced speaker, but once you hear it and see how it’s built, it feels worth it. Overall, if you’re looking for a portable speaker that sounds amazing and looks beautiful in any space, the Beosound A5 is a fantastic choice.

Was Qualität von Verarbeitung und Wiedergabe angeht, ist das Gerät absolut überzeugend. Ob es einem den Preis wert ist, muss jeder für sich entscheiden. Einbindung in die B&O App ohne Probleme, Wiedergabe über Bluetooth und WLAN ebenfalls problemlos. Die Ladefunktion für Smartphones auf der Oberseite ist ganz nett und funktioniert einwandfrei. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für das Batterie Management. Im ausgeschalteten Zustand, also nicht im Standby Betrieb, entlädt sich der Akku. Nach spätestens 14 Tagen ist er bei Null Prozent. Es gab zwar ein Software Update, aber viel besser ist es dadurch nicht geworden. Da ich mir die Box für die Verwendung im Sommer auf der Terrasse und im Garten gekauft habe, ist es ärgerlich, ständig den Akkuzustand zu prüfen. Bei anderen B&O Geräten hatte ich dieses Problem nicht. UPDATE: Nachdem ich tatsächlich einmal die Anleitung gelesen habe, hat sich das Problem mit dem Entladen des Akkus gelöst.

It’s surprising how this small package delivers such a punch. Clear sound with punchy bass.

Inte värt det för ljudkvalitet, utseende, teknik eller känslan, var för sig, men tillsammans blir helheten värt det. För dyrt, men jag ryser lite av välbehag när jag använder den. Överraskande stor skillnad på ljudkvalitet mellan Spotify via blåtand från mobilen och Spotify Connect, direkt över Wifi.

ses kalitesi çok başarılı, ayrıca kendi uygulaması üzerinde dünya radyolarına kolaylıkla bağlanabiliyorsunuz.
