So when B&amp;O announced the new BeoPlay A2, it seems to be set apart from the rest of the companies product line.<\/p>\n<p>Size\/Portability<br \/>\nThe new BeoPlay A2 is a first for B&amp;O, directed towards the portable user. With a slim, flat profile and leather handle, not to mention 24 hour battery, which is more than enough for any user. A little on the heavy side at 1.1 kg.<\/p>\n<p>Quality<br \/>\nBuild quality follows suite, this speaker aesthetically looks great. Its aluminium and poly-carbonate body should provide a sturdy product for any travel. However, Bluetooth isn&#8217;t known to produce anything of real high quality standards, which is traditionally what B&amp;O are all about.<br \/>\nSound quality can only truly be judged upon listening. With 180 watts of audio power, a woofer, a tweeter and a passive bass radiator enclosed, specs place this speaker near the top end on paper. A technology B&amp;O are calling True360 allows you to place the speaker in any orientation, then&#8230; &#8220;Just listen and enjoy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Price<br \/>\nThe BeoPlay A2 is available for \u00a3299. Not what you\u2019d call cheap, but a lot more affordable than the average B&amp;O product. Three colours give you the option of elegant green, pitch black or cool grey.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"BeoPlay A2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.beoplay.com\/products\/beoplaya2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More information and store on their site.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7890 lazyload\" src=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/BO-Wrap-Up.jpg\" alt=\"BeoPlay A2\" width=\"630\" height=\"400\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/BO-Wrap-Up.jpg 630w, https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/BO-Wrap-Up-577x366.jpg 577w\" sizes=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Large, high quality, expensive design is what sets B&amp;O apart from other speaker manufacturers.
