Speakers be damned. I want that shirt.

Put the A1 on a solid wood table and the bass will blow your mind. I'm pretty impressed by that speaker

Bang and Olufsen's sound profile tends to be more neutral and focuses on instrument separation and detail. B&O is more like fine dining, it's about the subtleties. Bose, JBL, Marshall, they're all enjoyable, but they're more like fast food.

Not sure about the other speakers but when it comes to the A1, it must be resting on a firm sold platform in order for the base to perform best. Handling them in your hands will affect the outcome a lot. I have the A1 first gen, and all I can say is that every time friends listen to to its sound they just can’t believe that awesome sound quality especially base is coming from such a small speaker.

Bass does not equal quality sound most manufacturers use bass to cover up the terrible quality of their speakers. The Bang and Olufsen sound is so perfectly balanced for the price it puts you right in the music like you’re there.

My a1 (2nd gen) has incredible bass. I highly recommend it for sound quality.

Just listen to them in the store. A1 on the table is the most beautiful sound of all small speakers I’ve listen in my life.

I have the a1 and explore and use the explore way more because of the durability and battery life. You gotta EQ the speakers which is dumb but it does help a lot.

Thanks for showing the sound differences between all of your portable speakers; it helped me a lot to decide. Greetings from Prague

Hi, thanks for your video! Did you get a chance to play around with the EQ settings on the B&O speakers to see if the sound/bass improves ? I've seen a few videos of people who seemed to have success with that, and most said it sounded better than the Bose Flex! My Bose Soundlink Revolve (mini) got a battery issue for the second time in less than 2 years so I'm searching for a good replacement for it if you have any recommendations! Thanks!

maybe it's just how the sound came across in the video, but the worst were by far the Bose. Muddy with too much bass. The A1 sounded best followed by JBL

I'm confused.. the Bose clearly performed the worst whereas I feel the B&O A1 took the crown when doing the playback comparison. Did the recording pick up sound quality that bad?

I've stumbled upon your channel since I was looking for emberton reviews. After watching that video, I immediately subscribed. You are doing pretty great! Keep it up! 🙂👍🤟

I've had all of these and I go to the A1mk2 every time.

I am obsessed with that green colour

Can confirm just like many other commenters that the A1 has legendary bass if you put it on a wood, or even better, glass/stone surface. Just got it and it blew my mind.

Thank you for the comparison. Some thoughts on your speaker placement: The A1 is designed to enhance its bass response by the placement on a solid surface. Also many use cases have a bluetooth speaker standing on a solid surface. So the reflections (highs + mids) of the surface around it also shape the sound.

Love this vid! Love the humor. Like others mention I'm curious if you used to B&O app to customize that slider to '4 o'clock' for bass optimization.

One major thing to comment here Danny, everyone who bought the Explore or A1 noticed the sound is not so great out of the box, however, I really recommend you install the app and play with the eq, you'll be amazed what it can do, I would recommend move it between Energetic and high bass! then you can re test it. Trust me, it will worth it.

I love, love, love the green!

To be honest: according to me: 1. A1. 2. Marshall. I own a B&O Beoplay P6 and Marshall Stanmore II: My P6 is better than my Stanmore II for at least 50% LOUD! The Stanmore II is at least 3 or 4 time heavier! I will get the B&O A1, just for my dest setup, to use advantage from that 3 inside mics... VOCALS VOICE, youtube, and bosa nova music B&O is the best of the best...

I dont know why people think if bass is good speaker is good . a good speakers should reflect what actual sound as producer intended

The B&O via cable connected as Conference Speaker is worth zu mention. With this he beats all the others.

In the chapter with specs, it would be nice with more than just Bluetooth version and battery endurance.

The first Music I heard on the bang & oulfson cd hifi was Eva Cassidy. She wil forever be my test for B&O. I’ve just bought an explorer on Amazon will arrive Wednesday, So let’s see 😎

The A1 gen 2 is also a brilliant speaker phone for Teams calls etc. That's what I use it for 50% of the time. Not sure if any of the others do this.

Actually I just got the A1 and I am quite happy. You can not compare it to pure speakers, as it is more a conference device like the Sennheiser SP-30 or the Jabra Speak 510 - with the side effect of a good music playback capatibility. I use it in my office connected to my office PC by USB and to an windows tablet for telephony, signal and webradio by bluetooth. USB has priority, so webradio automaticly stops when a call comes in on my office PC. Quite usefull. As B&O is sort of "designer brand" you sometimes get b-ware with just a little skretch for a reduced price. I paid 149€ for my A1 with a barely visible skratch. However, the sound quality of the Sennheiser SP-30 is also very good (but max sound level is less), and you get it used for about 45-70€ (I use it in homeoffice). The A1 definitly is an eyecatcher. Quite nice for smal video conferences.

Thanks for the short and crisp Review!! - 🙏Namaste from India😇

Good day. I understand that everyone has a different sense of sound, but still, which is better, whose sound is closer to the original, without exaggerated bass or highs, balanced - emberton2 or bang & olufsen beosound explore or bose flex? It was not possible to listen to marshall and bose at the same time, and in general to listen to bang & olufsen, my feeling is that the flex plays better than the flip6. Or Sony better? Which?

I have the Gen 1 A1. I have it hung on the wall in my office by the tassel. I’ll admit, I’m swayed by the green and how it looks in my office. But I love the sound, bass is not my best all end all sound I’m focused on, I like the overall whole thing.

TBH, B&O A1 is far superior than the other brands.

I've owned a Bose SoundLink for 6 years and it has been through the whirlwind

The new A1 out in 7 days. The blue looks really nice

I now have one Carmine Red Flex! It’s great! Thanks again for your videos!

This is a brilliant review, thank you!

I has bought Explore and i should say its way better than all this jbl sort off speakers. if you know something about liniar sound, resolution, details - this speaker is for you. killer design and materials

I think you would love the gen 1 A1. Hope you got a chance to hear its mighty bass by now!

With B&O YOU CAN USE THEIR APP TO ADJUST THEIR SOUND ACCORDING TO YOUR LIKING.

i like Danny. he is just chill and straight forward

Just test some of them in store, Beoplay 1 (gen 1) needs the groud to pump and it is a lot basser than bose, for example, when you set the bose to maximum vol the bass desapperas and it starts screaming like it comes from temu, Beoplay play the same no matter the volume

Did you use the b&o app for the explore? Because it sounded awful

who listen to music using their hands holding the speaker, could you put on the table?!

Use the b&o eq. I own 2 b&o headphones and the bass is amazing after eq'd. Like gobs of bass but still maintaining the crisp mids and highs.

Thank you for an honest review

Checked Bose flex soundlink vs Bang Olufsen beosound. Did not spot much differences, correct me. I listen to classical/soft notes mostly

Used to have a pair of A1s as my favorite travel speakers. But the pairing is unstable and not pleasant to use as a stereo pair.

I have the A1 and love it for the clarity and small size. Way better than that explore, Not worth it.

Another great video, I wonder how many Gold Stars Ive collected so far? Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪

nights, which one do you recommend me to buy, which one has better bass sound?

I believe every espeaked has a specific direction its targeting

I look forward to the day you review the bang olufsen level Bluetooth.

A1sounds most in balance of all, BOSE sounds restricted, marshall sound dry, little B&O sounds closed and not even close to A1. A really don't know what do you hear....

Who’s gonna tell him to redo this after adjusting in the BO app

Thank you for the video ! I have the Bose flex..😊

thats why they have the apps to set the equalizer much more easy. and its expensive cause its some kind of luxurious speakers and the materials that has been used.

Wich would you recommend danny, out of the jbl flip 6, bose soundlink revolve2, or the explore, thank you.

Hello, I majorly listen to techno & lyrical music. I am confused between A1 & Explore. Sound quality & clarity is a must. Please suggest. Good review but still I am not clear with your conclusion.

5:39 3D60 sound.

Oh, and even lesser speakers sound better than "superior" speakers when the lesser is paired to its mate in stereo.

Use the app and maybe experiment with different music genres to get a full picture. I didn't get you music selection.

Which sounds the best?

Motosikletli kuryelik yapıyorum ve iş esnasında yolda gezinirken motosikletin önüne asıp müzik dinlemek istiyorum ve bunun için çok ses çıkaran Bluetooth hoparlöre ihtiyacım var. Daha önce Jbl flip 6 vardı onu sattım. Yeni bir hoparlör bakıyorum. Hem Flip 6'dan biraz daha güçlü olması gerekiyor hemde 360 derece ses vermesi gerekiyor hemde motosikletin önüne asabilmek için askısı da olması lazım. Araştırmalarım sonucu bu markayı gördüm sizce ben hangi marka ve modeli almalıyım? Flip 6'dan daha güçlü olması gerekiyor.

5:37 3D60 sound?

Holding them up doesn’t accurately produce sound and the A1 blows away every single one of them. I’m a B&O fan and i don’t care for the explore, but none of those speakers are even a fraction as detailed, dynamic and controlled as the A1 🥴

Band & Olufsen A1 has better battery and best clarity vocals and instrument seperation

Speakers in the air (hanging) near a corner of a room or even just a single wall, increases the bass by a lot! I have the Tribit and Anker speakers that compare to the Flex when positioned as I mentioned. I do not know if keeping the front of the speaker off a flat surface so you do not get any interference from sound reflecting off the flat surface is an issue. It just sounds better if raised up or at least near walls. I put them in wooden boxes when a wall is not available and the very front of the speaker is right up to the edge of box, or any flat surface.

They state 2x140w peak But does that make it actually many times better than the jbl flip 5 which has 20w?

Where to get them for 200?

Bang and olufsen never really are focused on the bass...even the emerge is like that

Sorry, you sound like you are at an AA meeting but for speakers 🔊😂 Your opening line cracked me up, hi, I’m Danny and I bought more speakers 😂

JBL is like that uncle who’s a black sheep & a GOAT on the streets while the B&O is like that successful uncle without any street cred. Needless to say I’d choose the JBL speaker

I'm stuck between the A1 gen 2 and the Marshall Willen. Basically needed a small form factor outdoor speaker that also has speakerphone capability - something to clip to my golf bag. Between the A1 gen 2 and the Willen, what do you think?

A1 is good

If the A1 and Flex are the same price which would you recommend?

How did you get them for $200?

I had the B&O A1 and sounds great, but mine stopped charging. I had similar issues with B&O E8 earbuds which were returned still not working. I have had various JBL products and I like the sound(not quite B&O), but I would buy HBL over B&O every day if the week.

its not a French company its from Denmark!!

What a bizarre review! Surely the skill of any reviewer of audio products is to understand how to get the best out of the product they are reviewing. The A1 needs to be placed on a solid surface. Then you will hear plenty of bass. Holding the speakers up is a ridiculous way to test them. I have noticed that if you place speakers under a pile of blankets, they sound muffled . .

The B&O Explore is perfect for me. I hate bass! I hate bass that vibrates unnecessarily and steals the shine from the vocals. The Explore can also connect to B&O eq app with which I even went further to turn off all bass. Knowing what you love is important and don't fall for the "more bass is better" influence.

I am just watching this not because of the speakers but because of this handsome guy.

B&O = Natural Sound. Other brands = To much Bass

Sonos Roam has only 10 hours autonomy

4:01

You could not have made this sound test more unprofessional

Damn bro that's more like making us regret over our buy,bloody we asked for beoplays review but u are boasting about the marshal,jbl x Bose .I don't think it's a review show but more like show which is making us feel shit over our buy,cmon bro be abit genuine and reasonable 😊

No thumping to be had 😆

you choose bose because you like bass. like every people who choose airpods max over beoplay h95. everybody have their own taste. thanks for the video. but, my honest opinion, how flex can defeat A1 ??? no to my ears. I have them both.

French speakers?

If you are going to sound test a speaker you need to put them down... I don't understand why TF you would hang on to it and throw it around

Which one was loudest of the five?

That’s not how you pronounce Aluminium

The guy seems to be deaf or probably biased to Bose !! But did nobody notice the recording video had beo A1 as a far better sound than sound flex

You just have to be negative to the B&O! Because you ghave no taste! Two beautiful speakers and the rest of them "Ugly constructs". B&O you could be proud of having "33" hours of quality battery life with your ugly speakers left in the "Smoke". Try to like quality and beautiful and ditch the ugly ones.

just another overhyped speakers b&o

JBL 😊

This guy just decided he knows sound and will make a review. This was terrible.

Jbl

I cannot stand bass speakers, it isn't true sound when that shit is added.

😑 sad to see B&O became a cheap trash like that, I still remember back then ..a couple of decades ago, B&O was like a Porsche in TV Audio Hi-FI
