Yeah I’ve seen these stands: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007869955054.html
So I just tested my gen 1 and was able to play over USB-C and pair the second speaker, sound came out of both but it’s not stereo. I also just tested both over USB-C and that did come out in stereo (From a MacBook), with both connected over USB a single Beoplay A1 device came up, just double checking by powering them off and on again, I seemed to only get sound out of one, but after stereo pairing them again, I seem to be getting stereo audio from both over USB-C but that gave me 40ms of audio delay.

I was also able to connect one speaker to my monitor (My MacBook is connected to my monitor over USB-C), and stereo also worked that way, however the speakers didn’t come up when connecting both to my monitor.

I’m still on a pair of 1st gens. Been round the world with one of them 8 years ago and it’s still going, so happy to have had it accompanying me, and now with two, just wow.

Yes stereo pairing was a pain with one or both cutting out occasionally, so also interested to hear if it’s any better on the 3rd gen, however I do sometimes use the 3.5mm port that only exists on the 1st gen for connecting to my portable projector. I literally have an amazing stereo cinema in my luggage with no lip-sync issues. (I believe two in stereo introduces even more Bluetooth latency than just one, often beyond any audio delay setting even if your projector does have that ability which mine does)
