And why is that 'active'?

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

I think for an active lifestyle. Splash resistant and the canvas straps.

Oh, well!

Or perhaps it's just means being particularly vigorous in the shower 😕

I always thought splash resistance was in case  you were a bit vigorous putting your beer down and spilled a little! Also I am hoping that drink beer is consisted active.

Oh yes. Much more active than not drinking.
Previously it included a charger and the old A2 could charge your phone (right?).

I think USB-C charging means more flexibility but also more profit for B&O since they don't include chargers with their USB-charged devices.

A nice update all in all.

Or indeed a smaller loss.
