High-end audio brands such as B&O are famous for charging through the nose for the most basic of products, so it came as some surprise to find that the firm's latest offering cost less than £200. Admittedly, the B&O Play Beoplay A1 is only a pound less th...
In all, there's very little to dislike about the B&O Play Beoplay A1. It's true that you can't connect via Apple AirPlay, Spotify Connect or aptX – and I'm going to knock off a star for those shortcomings – but as a speaker to complement your phone or tab...
