B&O A1

6 replies

Does the 280w mean how loud it will go? It just doesn’t seem to be quite loud enough for me, other than that great quality 

That is just a specification (the socalled peak output) - in reality it says little about how load and (more important) how ‘good’ the sound is at a certain volume.

’doesn’t seem to be loud enough....’ - what do you expect from a small bluetooth speaker???

In general people seem to be quite content with how the A1 performs!

It's pretty loud for something the size of a hamburger. Not sure what more you could expect from something that small. 

Also depends on the sources.

What/how are you playing?

A1 has always been very well received when we have demonstrated them.

I am using A1 mostly in my sailboat cockpit.And it sounds much better than built-in marine speakers.

Btw,what B&O speakers would be best for boat cabin use,apart of portable speakers? Boat owners,please advice !
