#70 Bang & Olufsen Beolit 17: $499 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the B&O Beolit 20, rated 3.4/5, released Oct 2020. It adds stereo pairing. Battery life goes from 24 to 8 hours. See every Bang & Olufsen Beolit generation.
Pros: A premium portable speaker with a leather carry strap, aluminum grille and up to 24 hours of battery life. It has six drivers (a 5.5 inch woofer, two 4 inch passive radiators and three 1.5 inch mid tweeters) driven by two 35W amplifiers. USB-C charging also lets it charge a phone.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so the rating is estimated from a reviewer’s listening impressions and its match to the later B&O Beolit 20. At about 2.7kg and a high launch price it is bulky and costly for a portable Bluetooth speaker. It has no water resistance rating, and the Bluetooth codec support is not documented. Discontinued.
