Thanks Irvine, the A1 is now even better than I thought 😁

We'll just have to figure out if the waterproofing of the gen2 didn't make the battery replacement too complicated...

Where did you hear the 2nd generation? Sure it was the new one? I'd be amazed if it's worst than by new (1st gen) Brushed Steel A1? Sounds amazing for the size!

I find it hard to believe that is was mettalic or cold unless there was something wrong with it or not the gen 2 or someone messed with the soundprofile. It’s still very bassy, just not as excessively as the gen 1 is and you get all the mids and high’s back the gen 1 sort of muffles a bit.

Iam still amazed listening to both that the gen 2 is so much better😁

I do think some people's expectations are too high. When you're used to listening to BL20s, 50s or 90s and you listen to an A1 it's a huge compromise. But you have to take into account a) the size and b) the portability.

I must admit though, the Megaboom is a far better portable speaker and completely waterproof:

Mine arrived with the mail yesterday 🤩

Just have to get my head around how to get best use of it, it is my first bluetooth speaker.

On my iPhone for example I have to reconnect to the A1 every time I want to start using it.
