Hello, I hope that all of you and your families are doing well. As many all around the globe I am stuck at home for most of the time and I am relying on smart working, therefore I am intensively using phone, Skype, WebEX, Teams etc. The B&O branded speakers of my HP laptop are ok but a bit more volume would be welcome. Initially I was looking for something cheaper and small, such as UE Wonderboom 2 but it lacks a microphone or a Sony XB12 but this one seems to have poor mic performance. As you can see I am leaning towards something with some sort of water/dust proofness, as I’d like to use it on weekends/seaside once all this will be finished. A1 is very nice but it seems to have some finicky controls and I am not sure it is sufficiently rugged. Moreover I have read in other threads that a new version should be soon available. P2 has a very convenient form factor but it looks like battery is not lasting much, despite of the claimed 10 hrs. Not sure if a new P2 is on the way. Both A1 and P2 have Bluetooth 4.2 and non replaceable batteries. Key features - Small- Water/Dust resistant- Decent battery life- Number of connected BT devices it can remember (I’d prefer not to repeat pairing all the time between laptop, Mac, iPad, iPhone...)- Mute control for the mic is welcome- Possibly easy switch from one connected device to anotherWhat would you recommend for such use case?A1 or P2? Other?Thank you! Olivier
