The battery life concerns me at "12 hours at moderate listening levels" is a very relative term.  I HAD an A2 which was rated at "24 hours at moderate listening levels" but since I used it at 80% or higher volume (which wasn't very loud) the battery lasted 1.5-2 hours.  It was so useless on the beach or out of the house I had to sell it.

Um I don't know what bluetooth really has to do with the battery? But anyway, I bought a Marshal speaker for half the price of the A2 and it sounds ALMOST as good but the battery lasts a full 20 hours on bluetooth no matter the volume.

I wonder what it would sound like if two people are listening and one is staying still while the sweat spot is following the one that is moving around?

There are 1 woofer and and 1 tweeter - and then two tweeters, one on each corner.

And then there is DSP magic builtin.

I bought me a A5 yesterday. Does anybody know how I can adjust the line in sensibility?

In previous products I could do this in the BO app under sound settings, but it looks like it's not possible on this product..

Hi,

Mozart-based B&O products like the A5 don't allow you to adjust the gain of the line input, but on speakers that have a line input, you can change the sensitivity of the input (ie. how loud the line input needs to be before the speaker automatically switches to the line input as the source).  A5 doesn't have a line input, so this doesn't apply.

Kind regards, Steve.
