hi all,
maybe someone can answer my question, because the mail support of B&O doesn’t reply at all.
I think about buying a second A1 2nd gen to use stereo but not without knowing in advance:
When I use the B&O app on my mobile phone and establish the connection to the second A1…..
- Do I have to do that every time when I power the Beos on?
- Is the stero connection only usable on the device with the app (my mobile phone)? Or is a connection which i build up from my computer afterwards to the Beos also stereo?
Thanks!

2 October 2023 at 02:23 #49410Thanks, that answered both questions.
You have to pair them every time and you need the app and can only play music from the device with the app.
Will not buy a second one. Unbelievable, every cheap china junk does this better nowadays.

1 Yes
2 When I have set up the stereo mode I can connect my computer via BT to the “master” A1 and use both i stereo.

2 October 2023 at 15:10 #49412I also have a stereo pair that I used in my office for about 6 months. I usually did NOT use the app to pair. I found it was easier to use the button method. I also used them with my computer. Also, to use them as a speaker phone, they must not be stereo paired.
Yes, they were a little wonky from time to time, and had to be setup each time they poweed off – you can pause for less than 10 (maybe 15) minutes and restart in stereo, but once they power off, you need to repair.
Not to make excuses for B&O, but every bluetooth device I’ve used is wonky from time to time so maybe I have a higher tolerance for that stuff. I also thought it had something to do with all the other electronics I have running in my office. I’ve had some devices that I had to leave the office to pair successfully.
They do sound surprisingly good so, to me, it was worth the occasional dropouts, re-pairing, etc. However, I do see that if I had these in my living area I’d not like to pair them every time. So, yeah, not for everyone or every use case.
