Last updated: September 11, 2026

What this page covers. The B&O models ranked here span portable bluetooth speakers and powered speakers, including B&O Beosound A1, B&O Beosound A1 2nd gen and B&O Beosound A1 3rd gen. Use each model’s category position to compare it with alternatives of the same size and use case.

This page lists all 12 B&O speakers ranked on this site across portable bluetooth speakers and powered speakers. Each model is shown in the category where it competes, with its current rank and the size of that ranking.

Large Size Powered Desktop Speakers

Ranked #4 of 4 in Large Size Powered Desktop Speakers - B&O Beosound 2: $4,000.00 each Amazon eBay

B&O Beosound 2 ranking card

Pros: A beautifully made, compact Wi-Fi speaker with omnidirectional playback, Chromecast, AirPlay, Bluetooth with AAC/aptX, optical and aux inputs, app EQ, voice control and Beolink multiroom. Reviews praise its even scaling at low volume, spacious room-filling presentation and convincing bass for a single 4.1kg enclosure.

Cons: Its bass-forward balance can recess the mids, and its 94dB maximum level is modest for a speaker intended to fill larger spaces. There is no battery or water rating, so this is a mains-powered indoor product; its luxury design and streaming feature set matter more than outright value or neutral hi-fi accuracy.

Large Size Powered Floorstanding Speakers

Ranked #6 of 6 in Large Size Powered Floorstanding Speakers - B&O Beolab20: $15000 per pair Discontinued Bang-olufsen eBay

B&O Beolab20 ranking card

Pros: ASR measured bass reaching about 20Hz in a relatively compact enclosure, giving substantial low-end weight without a separate subwoofer. Distortion at ordinary listening levels is respectable for the size. Built-in amplification and Free/Wall/Corner adjustment simplify integration into a compatible home system.

Cons: A 4.88 ideal-subwoofer preference score shows that deep bass does not compensate for the tonal flaws. A roughly 5dB dip near 7kHz and uneven vertical response make treble balance sensitive to ear height. Midrange distortion rises at higher playback levels, with resonance-related problems around 700-800Hz and 5kHz. Difficult to recommend for neutral monitoring at its premium price. Discontinued.
