It already needed multiroom from the Beolit 15 onwards! A pity they do not use this product for the Multiroom lineup. A great alternative for the BS1 and more ad home in the garden or in the bathroom.

Not very interesting now. Miseed opportunity imo

Maybe the next "new product" version can have built-in insect spray and fragrance module?

Why can’t they take a bit of inspiration from me and Tuomas? 😎

Cool hack! I think the BeoLit 12 is prime for a BeoCreate 4CA conversion 😐

Honestly, it's one of the most disappointing product launch I've ever seen from B&O.

And to be honest, after the excellent launches of H95 and Beosound A1 2nd Gen (despite hating its rename to "Beosound"), I had high hopes.

But this is completely pointless.

With the two mentioned products you can see they actually made an effort to release devices filled with cutting-edge technologies that make their user's lifes easier and better, such as full-fledged Bluetooth codec support (AAC, aptX Adaptive, for both), compliance to the most common fast-pairing Bluetooth protocols (Fast Pair of Google and Swift Pair of Microsoft, for both) and USB-C audio support (for both).

Here what do we see? 0 sound improvements. 0 connectivity improvements. 0 battery life improvements. 0 "conveniency" improvements.

But hey, you've got wireless charging mate.

I daresay they have had the BeoLit20 waiting in the wings for release for sometime and perhaps why it's not featuring all of the latest tech you would expect in a release in late Oct 2020. 

I wish they released it in white

I get what you mean Michael, too.  In those party situations it would have been better to have WiFi afterall the technology that B&O have implemented with other WiFi products is superior to the WiFi in my old BeoLit 20. 

Does this also mean that the Eclipse Gen 2 will not be launched this Friday (today Aussie time) now ? 😕

If the Beolit 20 is anything to go by, the Eclipse 2 will be exactly the same as Eclipse 1 but have wireless phone charging. ☹️

It is updated products, what do you all expect,

Same price more to offer.

If you guys want WIFI speakers there are plenty to choose from in all price range.

Hi guys,

Yes, I agree with Emil.  Beolit 20 is intended to be B&O's ultimate portable Bluetooth speaker.  There is a good choice of wi-fi Multiroom speakers in the range for those who want them (or you can add a Core to a Beolit if you really want to make this a Multiroom speaker).

In 3 hours time, my review will go live and I will hope to cover a few extra ways that the Beolit can be used that you may not have thought of - having the Beolit 20 for the past week has really opened my eyes to just how flexible it can be to use and how good it sounds......

Hope to see you on YouTube at midday (UK time)! 😐

Kind regards, Steve.
