Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A9

We finally spend time with B&O's new flagship speaker and it was well worth the wait.

Jaw droppingly powerful ; Rich, balanced bass, midrange and high frequency performance ; Stylish, unique design

Expensive, if not unreasonably so ; B&O setup app glitchy ; Wall mount an optional extra

We found the app continually wouldn’t recognise the A9 telling us it was an “unsupported product” and a quick Google search finds we are not alone in that problem nor is it restricted to the A9 with the Beolit 12 & BeoSound 8 also suffering the same...

B&O BeoPlay A9 speaker review: The best-looking sound for your living room

We can see the conversation at B&O HQ now. It'll have been one of those painful engineer versus designer moments that major technology companies see every day.

Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A9

The Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A9 speaker system delivers crisp, full-bodied, room-filling sound, and it looks smashing doing it. The price, however, isn't for the faint of heart.

Excellent audio performance, with clear, defined highs and powerful, clean bass response. Stunning and bizarre design. Streams audio via AirPlay and DLNA. Easy set-up.

Prohibitively expensive. Your friends might be jealous if you own one.

B&O BeoPlay A9 Review

Beauty comes with a high price tag.

Exceptional sound quality, excellent build design, visually captivating

Incredibly high price point, no Bluetooth connectivity

So who exactly is the A9 suited for? Well it’s ideal for anyone who lives in a spacious or loft apartment, who’s looking for an alternative sound setup than bulky black boxes and speakers. The A9 is certainly a work of art and an attention grabber, but...

The Weird-Looking Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A9 Speakers

Is it a satellite dish? Is it a light reflector? Is it a hand-held drum? No. This is the new BeoPlay A9 speakers from Bang & Olufsen which comes with the capacity to deliver 480W of power and sound.
