My battery playing the radio at a very weak level, didn't even last the night.Reference the Beolit, you must consider the Beolit is 4 times bigger by volume and isn't really designed as a truly mobile speaker like the A2. Why didn't they call it the Beolit 6 or something similar?At lower levels the Bose does produce a much warmer sound with an abundance of bass, but the A2 can and has to be played at a much higher volume than the Bose could ever hope for.

Got my green one yesterday and I am quite impressed. Of course you can always pay more money and get more/better sound, but I have many different portables and small iPlayer type units and the only system I have of it's type would be my Zeppelin Air, which is quite a high commendation. It's certainly better than my Jambox and Tivoli. I found selecting the Bass Boost Equaliser on the apple device helps also.

The picture... spot the four other B&O items 👍
I could only get three other items ... and three Apple
Having returned mine, I was interested in knowing more about this new Bluetooth technology which seems to herald in a time of a stable connection!Here is the company, but I cannot find the section which displays compatible devices.http://www.csr.com/products/60/aptxI opened up a page on another browser and it appears the iPhone isn't on the list therefore you will be streaming balk standard Bluetooth (grim) I'll see if I can find it again on safari.
Found it😕http://www.aptx.com/category/phones
I don't understand people sending an A2 back, or even thinking about sending it back. Where does it perform that much under what you expect that you even consider returning it? Charger not beautiful enough? I cannot believe that's true.

One day I bought a red italian sport car and in Top Gear they said about it : you can never get tired of that car, never get tired of it's looks, never get tired of it's handling and engine.I think that's what is missing with the A2. It's just plain boring (sorry to be rude, Paul W out of my body please).Of course it's just 350 € for a B&O product, but I expected a lot because I new that Bose made a good (for the tiny size) 200 € made in Mexico product.Maybe Chris send it back for battery problems and I just had too much of Pommard tonight.
When it's advertised battery endurance is advertised to last approx 24 hours, but then lasts a third of that in the real world even at very modest levels.
I needed a device that would last a few days away in a camper van, not run out on the first day.
I purchased one.I love it. It has really loud and good performance for the size. And the portability is perfect. Not sure what people expect for a wireless Bluetooth piece at 350 bucks. I enjoy it...
