Beosound A1 3rd Generation: The Pinnacle of Luxury Portable Audio | Bang & Olufsen Premium Bluetooth Speaker

Experience Danish design excellence with the world's most sustainable portable speaker - Now available at NETWORKDISTRI.COM


True luxury isn't just about how a product looks; it's about how it makes you feel. At NETWORKDISTRI.COM, we are proud to present the Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 3rd Generation (Model: 1736002). This latest iteration of the award-winning portable Bluetooth speaker takes everything the world loved about its predecessor and elevates it with professional-grade acoustics, industry-leading 24-hour battery life, and a historic commitment to environmental sustainability.

Overview: Precision Engineering Meets Danish Design Excellence

Designed by the legendary Cecilie Manz, the 3rd Gen Beosound A1 portable speaker is a study in Scandinavian minimalism. Crafted from pearl-blasted anodized aluminum and featuring 2,173 precision-milled acoustic holes, it is as much a piece of contemporary art as it is a high-performance wireless speaker.

But don't let the elegant design fool you—this premium Bluetooth speaker is IP67-rated, meaning it is fully dustproof and waterproof (submersible up to 1 meter for 30 minutes), ready to accompany you from the bathroom shower to the beach, poolside parties, hiking trails, or camping adventures without missing a beat.

Key Design Features:

  • Premium aluminum construction with Natural, Black Anthracite, and Gold Tone finishes
  • Genuine leather carrying strap for portable convenience
  • Compact dimensions: 133mm diameter × 46mm height
  • Lightweight at just 558 grams (1.23 lbs)
  • 360-degree omnidirectional sound dispersion

Unrivaled Audio Components & Sonic Performance

Professional-Grade Speaker Drivers

The Largest Woofer in its Class: A powerful 3.25-inch (82.5mm) long-throw woofer paired with a precision 0.6-inch (15mm) dome tweeter, each powered by a dedicated 30W Class D amplifier delivering 60W Total Peak Power for a compact portable speaker.

True 360-Degree Sound Technology: The unique acoustic hole pattern ensures an omnidirectional soundstage with even sound distribution, filling any medium-sized room (up to 40m²) or outdoor gathering with rich, balanced audio across all frequencies.

Enhanced Bass Response: The 3rd Gen features a 2dB boost in bass performance compared to the 2nd Gen model, delivering punchy, deep lows that defy its compact size. Perfect for bass-heavy genres like EDM, hip-hop, jazz, and orchestral music.

Audiophile Wireless Codecs: Supports Qualcomm aptX Adaptive and AAC codec for high-bitrate Bluetooth 5.1 wireless streaming that preserves every detail of your music with minimal compression and ultra-low latency.

Advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Bang & Olufsen's proprietary tuning ensures optimal frequency response, dynamic range compression, and adaptive equalization for any environment.


Sustainability Goals: A Speaker Built for Decades, Not Years

Bang & Olufsen has set a new industry benchmark with the A1 3rd Gen. It is the world's first "Cradle to Cradle" Certified® (Bronze) Bluetooth speaker, recognized by the global sustainability standard for circular economy design.

Environmental Commitment Features:

10-Year Product Lifecycle: Designed with modular architecture to be professionally serviced and repaired, not replaced. All components are accessible for maintenance.

User-Replaceable Battery Technology: Unlike most portable speakers that become electronic waste when the battery degrades, the A1 3rd Gen features a professionally replaceable lithium-ion battery (available through B&O service centers), extending product life by years.

Recycled & Recyclable Materials:

  • 30% recycled aluminum in the body

  • 10 hours at maximum volume
