Hey Simon, I'm with you on the leather strap especially since B&O used to make a real marketing thing of it with the 'Italian leather' part. It is very mean of them to penny pinch there! I think that the 15 sounds better though, I remember the 12 being very good on the bass but muddled on the treble.

Chris - that looks great! 

Simon - check out hashtag beoplaya1 on Instagram for some lovely shots of the A1 from customers!

Not sure where the hashtag key is on my pink macbook :) (sorry, rose gold :)

Another wonderful review here concluding with 'Masterpiece'.

Anyone having problems with their A1? I'm getting cut-outs over bluetooth which is quite irritating.. most noticeably when connected to my Macbook Pro Retina... It's a bit intermittent however.. Perhaps WiFi interference affecting the bluetooth..Very irritating.

So how does THAT bassline sound Elephant?

Makes me think of this (link)...

 I read in an extended review somewhere the A1 sounded best with the equalizer settings off (standard) so until now did not bother to play with them. But oh boy do i disagree om that remark !!! Lounge and dance sounds even better (a lot!) when dragging tye dot to the excited quarter. And RTFM TOO, you can also change the size with a pinch to optimize to your liking even more.
