Powerful Sound That Fills the Entire Space


Bluetooth Speakers with Greatly Improved Functionality


Bang & Olufsen, the Danish audio-visual manufacturer, has established "B&O PLAY" to cater to those with active lifestyles, inheriting the design, craftsmanship, and innovation the company has cultivated over many years. Two portable Bluetooth speakers, designed by Danish industrial designer Cecilie Manz, are re-released with updated functionality and design.

Achieving CD-Quality High-Fidelity Sound via Bluetooth


The two models updated this time are "BeoPlay A2" and "Beolit 15." First, let's focus on functionality. A new feature allows users to pair two of the same model, designating one as the right channel and the other as the left, to enjoy double the volume and stereo effect. Furthermore, CD-quality high-fidelity sound is achieved via Bluetooth. The company also claims that latency from data transmission and signal processing has been minimized.


In terms of design, natural colors that enhance the aluminum body have been newly added, with "BeoPlay A2" available in five colors and "Beolit 15" in four.

Since its release in November 2014, the "BeoPlay A2" has achieved the fastest sales figures in the brand's 90-year history. Its "True360" technology emits uniform sound in all directions. With a large-capacity battery offering up to 24 hours of continuous playback, it is also highly portable, making it ideal for outdoor use.


The "Beolit 15" is equipped with a powerful sound machine, delivering an astonishing level of impactful audio quality. It also features "True360" and a large-capacity battery.


The "Beolit 15" and "BeoPlay A2," which embody modern aesthetics down to the last detail and have become flagship models for "B&O PLAY," can be experienced at Bang & Olufsen specialty stores nationwide.
