Just got my A1. Very impressed and happy with sound and everything else.

Just gave my girlfriend one. She is thrilled with it. And I am amazed at the sound from such a small speaker.

Got three A1 (for 8€)

Pairing was a piece of cake 😐

 

 

But wait... Where is the third A1 ?!? 😮

It's going to eat my wheely ❓

Thanks, but unfortunately there wasn't any other devices trying to connect.. I've also experienced what you're saying though, but this is a different issue. Both are very irritating if you ask me.

 

 

 

Hi @ari - did you get any luck sorting this out?

I have 2 A1s connected to a MacMini via Bluetooth. I'm trying to pair them up but they're not liking it at all. One seems fine, but when they're in stereo it is completely unusable and usually the other speaker has no sound at all coming out, or it goes in and out, or it's all completely out of sync. Any tips anyone (there are no other devices trying to connect).

With regards to the cutting out/choppy audio I was experiencing, I found that turning off the Wifi on my Macbook temporarily immediately fixes the audio cutouts..weird it seems to happen only with my macbook pro retina.. may indicate a problem with that rather than the speaker. not sure.

USB audio via the USB-C cable is buggy too...but I love this speaker sound so damn much I can overlook these issues!!

Hello Peter and Svend fans,

I plan to have a two weeks out of the house vacation and may need a speaker for music in the place I rent.

I will go by car so place is not an issue and thought I could bring my Beolit 15 (2.7 kg).

But now I also thought is could be perfect for the wee A1 that will fit in a bag while the Beolit 15 could get damaged during transport.

I don't plan to move or go outside with the A1, but who knows ?

Is it worth spending another 250 € knowing I can bring the Beolit 15 ?

Let me know what you think !

 

If you have the spare 250 €, just do it!

Or take both with you ;-)

Would be nice (for us) to hear how the compare - in terms of sound quality and usability;-))

Thanks big cat. I was quick.

More soon...

Australian promotion.

Targeted marketing ... not !

I already have two 😎

Damn Elephant I could have paid 232 € (349 aud) instead of 249 € with a nice trip to Australia tomorrow !
Two more things with my very little A1 experience (still unpacked) : I thought that Moss Green had something to do with Stirling Moss / British Racing Green (I'm so stupid) - I got a paper from my official B&O dealer saying that the warranty is managed directly by Beoplay not the dealer (via internet - return policy).
