The power supply concerns me a little – the output is rated at a combined 280W RMS and yet it appears that the USB-C module can only handle 45W.

It is 280 W non-clipped peak power, not RMS. You’re only ever going to see very short bursts where the amplifiers are going to output that much. The battery capacity is rated 66 Wh (9000 mAh, before safety buffers that are created in software) and the product should play about 4 hours at maximum volume, which also gives some indication of power consumption.

Hi, I also prefer the A5 to the Level for sound, I will follow up with a side-by-side test video soon. The room compensation can be run at any time via the app using the A5 internal mic, you can’t save this but you can just run it again if you move the speaker. Kind regards, Steve.

RoomSense is currently available only when the product is plugged in. When unplugged, it will switch off the room compensation filters, same as Beosound Level.

Wi-Fi 6 support is accurate on the spec sheet, but it is lacking the mention of 802.11ax.

From what I can tell it was a stylistic choice. The company still holds the royal warrant and it can be seen above the logo at the Bang & Olufsen store inside Copenhagen airport.
