Thanks Lee !

The product is very easy to connect. Actually, I have less problems with it than my Beolit 12, which is always disconnecting, even with the latest firmware. 

It is bluetooth!

I wonder how far away the two devices can be apart - and still hold the connection?

Can anyone (who already has the A2) please test that.

Simple enough!

Mine has just arrived via UPS.

Here is a picture of unboxing.  What is a nice touch is the three addapters for the UK, EU and US in the box with the power supply.  I charged it up though this only took 20 mins so was already pretty well charged and connected to my iPad in about 10 seconds from switching it on.  It's a doddle.

Sound and volume are impressive.  When it's stood on its rubber feet the sound is all around - there is no directionality so it's true 360° sound. Don't place flat on a surface - it sounds awful and it may scratch but then it's not supposed to go that way.

It's very clear, clean sound, detailed and bass is perfect.

For MM's test: I've just had the A2 and iPad 70 metres apart outside and still going strong with no drop-out.  When Jacques arrives, I'll go further but I was at the point of not being able to hear the A2 outside at that distance!  It wasn't turned right up though.

Unboxing:

And in the house:

Thanks Dave.

Impressive - beginning to want one, though I DON't REALLY need it 😳

I don't listen much to music 'on the go' (apart from in my car).

Thanks for testing the 'range-thing' - impressive too!

good review, is there rubber feet for when standing in portrait mode ? (also may I compliment you on your cool glass table i like the spun aluminium detail)

No, and that's a real mistake I think.  It may look a bit obtrusive having more feet but a lot of people will want to use it that way.  An alternative would be to provide 2 protective strips to clip on along the underneath edges when it's in portrait position.  Remove them when you don't want them.

The bass is quite impressive, the sides really vibrate.  They've done a great job I think.  It isn't really mono but not full stereo either.  It's strange in that some tracks do produce some stereo effect - especially during drumming.

I didn't 'need' one either but just had to have one.  Glad I did.

3 year warranty too.

Both the green and the black ones look really great. The green a bit playful and the black one looks more exclusive. I have ordered the gray and I am beginning to think it looks a bit to "simple". I can't decide. What should I do? =)

Well, they will all sound the same - the most important bit!

If you're unsure of your colour choice and prefer either of the other 2, change it whilst you can.  No point in not being 100% happy with it.  But, when you get it, you may love the grey.
