Bang & Olufsen - Beolit 20

Why do you dislike the Beolit 20? I have tested against Klipsch Detroit, Teufel Boomster and JBL Authentics 300… the Beolit 20 sounds most grown up compared to the others, with a balanced surrounding tune. All the others sounded cheap compared to the Beolit. Everybody has a different taste. What I don’t like about the Beolit is its old Bluetooth standard, no real outdoor qualities (water resistance etc) and it’s little noise when no music is playing.

Beolit A5 and Beolit 20 (Bang & Olufson) are the gold standard.

Bang & Olufsen! I happen to have two Beolit 20s for sale.

I’m a big B&O fan and love my Beolit 20. I also have a Brane X which is probably my second favorite. The sound quality is superior on the Beolit 20 but the Brane X gets louder and has a lot more bass. I have a lot of other Bluetooth speakers but these are my top two.

It really depends on what you are doing with it. I don’t take it to the beach because it’s heavy and on the fragile side. I bought mine used off eBay for about 400. I’ve also picked up a bunch of other B&O gear and fixed them myself. Mostly new batteries in a couple of A5, P2 and P6 speakers. Sonos might be a better compromise between sound quality and sturdiness. JBL is rugged but more along the line of Bose sound wise.

You might want to look into the B&o beolit 20, clean smooth non-boomy deep bass and a spacious mid and as someone else mentioned, you could look into the Vifa brand speakers also

Bose SoundLink max , great outdoors while also great indoors sound quality wise it's lacking low end bass but the b&o beolit 20 is a wonderful speaker indoors , amazing sound quality and deep soft smooth low ends, the smoothest I've heard from a Bluetooth speaker but not so loud outdoors so I'd say the b&o beolit 20

B&O Beolit 20. Got it for $499 during BF sale. Currently comparing to Sonos Move 2 ($349) and Bose Soundlink Max ($299). Beolit is the winner overall, followed by Sonos and then Bose. All three are big upgrades from my current Bose Revolve+ and JBL Flip (dont remember the model number of flip). I think Beolit and Sonos are better than Marshall Kilburn 3 as well based on my limited testing

A pair of EarFun UBOOM X would be my recommendation. Together they sound like a small hi-fi system. Battery life is excellent. IP67 rating, so weatherproof. You shouldn't expect too much from the Beolit 20. It doesn't even come close to living up to its price. I was able to compare the two live. [https://ibb.co/yc7TdPkp](https://ibb.co/yc7TdPkp)

Many people probably still think that more expensive automatically means better. But that's not always true. OP mentions the Bang & Olufsen BeoLit 20 in his post, which costs around $700 and implies that you can expect an exqusite sound quality from it. I was able to compare the Beolit 20 with the Soundcore Motion Boom and the EarFun UBOOM X. The Beolit is a small speaker with a correspondingly low sound fullness. Even the Motion Boom sounded "bigger" and had a stronger bass performance, but had to admit defeat in terms of brilliance and resolution. The UBOOM X outperformed the Beolit in all respects. The owner of the BeoLit 20 was very disillusioned after this comparison. Here is a photo of the three speakers.: [https://ibb.co/nNn9XNP4](https://ibb.co/nNn9XNP4)

I really don't like the beolit 20. I like the sound of my Vifa Helsinki much more even though it's an older speaker and a lot cheaper now. Check some B&O a1 series,each one has a different sound type,for small portable bt speakers For medium size, Devialet Mania,a reboxed unit was around 500€ in my country just recently. 500 or under it's a good price,not the 800-900€ or how much they ask for it on most sites. For bigger sizes, i dont think you have many options,in a reasonable amount of money. The b&o a5 but it can get quite expensive sometimes. *I wouldn't call these audiophile speakers, high quality Bluetooth speakers would be a more suited name.

Io ho avuto diversi JBL , anche questo in foto. Dopo ho provato differenza enorme con Beolit di Bang Olufsen, un po’ macchinoso l’abbinamento ( sia AirPlay che Bluetooth) ma il suono è incredibile, tanto che ti sembra di esserci in un concerto. Diversi miei amici sono rimasti impressionati e l’hanno preso dopo averlo sentito. E così da anni . Se invece cerchi bassi molto potenti, tipo tecno , allora direi Bowers e Wilkins - io ho Zeppelin

What about Bang & Olufsen?

B & O or Sennheiser
