12 hours was measured at 70 dB sound pressure level. On the USB-C port, it does support USB audio from a computer, but line-in with a dongle (in a similar fashion as Beosound Theatre or A9 5th generation) is not supported.

A brief and Honest review .
Finally he sad it: The Level sounds more Refined!
That's why i need that kind of thing to Heal my Ears.

Looking good and so is the A5, love all things shiny. I may have been a magpie in a former life lol

[@suewilliams6110]

Excellent video

[@steve_o379]

Hoping to buy the A5 in the near future as I purchased the H95 B&O wireless headphones from Peter Tyson and was and still is very impressed. Great review and big step up from the predecessor the Beolit 20 speaker

[@trilingualkid]

I would get 2 beolit 20 rather than 1 A5, this is coming from someone who own an A5

[@MegaCJ25]

Hi, i wanted to ask, if i connect Beosound A5 to Mac Mini via USB-C cable will it work or wireless connection only?

[@Marie579]

You’ve hit the nail on the head it’s obviously a bang olufsen but I think it tries to cover two bases eg it’s just a bit to portable to make a statement in house speaker but way to ornate? For outdoor use, the aluminium finished one looks gorgeous though but I wouldn’t take that on the beech, even if I did own the beech.

When you do get the private beach let me know. I'll come and film some rugged outdoor speakers on it :-) - John

[@Keekusu]

Am I wrong here, or is the SBC only (on android) as bluetooth codec a huge red flag? Even the beosound a1 gen2 supports aptx adaptive

[@likeris2]

just tell me three the best SAOUNDING wireless speakers. just by sound it self.

[@GeoTheBlaxican]

Would the Spaced Aluminum grills and handle contrast well with the graphite/black body of the dark oak A5?

[@Peter-Tyson]

I swapped the grilles over so you can see for yourself. I'm not sure how to safely remove the handle, this gives you an idea. -John

@Peter-Tyson You're awesome! I have confirmed with B & O that the spaced aluminum handle can be purchased separately and replaced. Based on your response, it looks like I will have to figure out how to remove and replace the handle without causing any damage to the unit.

[@lukaszszumer7246]

It looks a lot better with aluminium grille on dark.

[@GeoTheBlaxican]

@lukaszszumer7246 I agree, but I found out the handle needs to be taken to an authorized B & O dealership to be replaced, which would cost an additional $140.00. I just ended up buying the spaced aluminum color.

[@cweednz]

Compared to Beolit 20….?

[@Peter-Tyson]

A5 has better sound, better battery, better Bluetooth and network streaming. A5 every time. - John.

Immerse?
Submerge you mean?🫧🌊

[@Peter-Tyson]

Same thing ☺️
