"battery lasts me forever, I charge it once a week and I game every day."
"16 days battery life on my fenix. ... The other aspect I really appreciate about my fenix is the battery life. 16 days or so. With everything I have to change these days (laptops, mice, keyboards, headphones, watches, phones), I appreciate not having to worry about it too often."
"Oh, and the battery lasts days even when exercising a lot (weeks without excercise)."

"I found the live beam 3's on sale on Amazon for 129! ... For the price, I don't think I'd find better."
"An S8 would be great for vacuuming your rugs and carpets ... For $350, my two S8s are very hard to beat! ... Almost all of the ones I thought vacuumed, very, very well have been discontinued except for the S8. ... If a Mova V50 can do 80% as well as our cheap S8s I would be pleased!"
"Overall I think these are super impressive especially for the price. ... These could be bargain of the year.. I'm very happy so far with them"

What about Bang & Olufsen?
r/BuyFromEU • Can anyone recommend a high quality Bluetooth speaker - Sonos is a pile of shit 💩 ->I actually tried the Beoplay A1 as a less buggy alternative to the minirigs and ended up returning it but your ears may be slightly different to mine in that regard but the minirg sounded better and made the sound come alive alot more than the A1. That said adding a subwoofer into the mix from minirig really does take things to the next level sound wise, as does having 2 small speakers and running them in wireless stereo.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • ‘Audiophile’ Portable Speaker ->B & O or Sennheiser
r/BuyFromEU • Can anyone recommend a high quality Bluetooth speaker - Sonos is a pile of shit 💩 ->Beosound A1 3rd Gen (ca. $350), if you want a bluetooth speaker. Forget about stereo separation from any single speaker (not possible, because physics) - buy two A1 Gen 2 (ca. $400 together) instead, they link to form a stereo set. Tonality-wise, they are among the best smallish bluetooth speakers, with some amazing low bass extension for the size, and overall pretty accurate. Else, some small monitors like the Adam Audio D3V will sound superior but are not really portable.
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Best sounding portable speaker to keep in the bedroom under $500usd? Im aiming toward the best audio quality experience possible. ->Gen 3 B&O is out now but, I'm still rocking the 2nd Gen for potable great sound, and it's good enough for under $140 on Amazon renewed, and I'm using my JBL Partybox Club 120 for my whole home theater setup in my Den connected to my JBL Clip 5, and a JBL Go 4 linked in Auracast and it works well all together!
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Which JBL Speaker is the best? ->Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 2nd generation. I put it on the tennis court fence every week in all types of weather. High quality sound and volume. This small but mighty Bluetooth speaker makes playing tennis doubles more enjoyable.
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->\-DALI Katch G2 (portable, can sit plugged in, audiophile voicing) Among the best-sounding portable Bluetooth speakers with excellent clarity and impressive bass weight. Elegant design without lighting. Can play while charging. \-Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 (2nd gen) (ultra-compact, refined bass, no lighting) Smaller than your SoundLink Mini but with surprisingly deep, clean bass for masking. It plays while charging. Minimal status LED only
r/Bluetooth_Speakers • Speaker recommendation ->I have a Beosound A1. Fantastic sound and long lasting battery. Pricy but worth it IMO
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->B&O Beosound. You will not regret it.
r/BuyItForLife • The best bluetooth speaker worth buying now? (sound quality and portability) ->'I' ve been using the [Bang & Olufsen](https://x.com/red_cat1989/status/1953829669045739588) Beosound A1 (2nd Gen) for a couple of months now, and honestly - small size, huge sound. The audio ir crystal clear with plenty of bass for its size, the batery lasts ages (around 18h), and the waterproofing is genuinely useful for summer trips. The design - as always with B&O
