With summer on the horizon it’s starting to look as though we may finally be able to get out and about a bit more, making this a good time for B&O to update its smallest portable speaker. Originally launched in 2016, the updated Beosound A1 2nd Gen doesn’t look radically different, sticking with the same circular ‘hockey-puck’ design as its predecessor. The price hasn’t changed either, although B&O has refined the design in a number of ways.
