Bang & Olufsen Beolit 15 Review - Amazing Bluetooth Speaker!

It's so pretty...mine is in the post and arriving tomorrow. I'm super hyped! Summer is going to be loud and delightful.

[@kuglepen64]

Wait - is this black and blue or white and gold?

[@jacobdanassis3292]

amazing speaker from a beautiful company

[@iOZKERTV]

I had the Bose sound dock 10, amazing speaker but no Bluetooth, Bose wanted too much for the adapter, bought my own at my local target for $20. Sold it because it was too heavy, and outdated. Just bought this Beolit 15 and it's so lightweight and sounds better than my old Bose 👍🏽

[@NKraaijeveld]

iOZKERTV I totaly agree with that! I've compared some speakers , beolit 15 is a beautiful device with a high treble and deep bass. Best in is kind on the market now the days!

[@tomhis8623]

+Nick Kraaijeveld JBL xtreme blows it away.

[@robertofernandezguillen2704]

+Tom His I just bought the JBL Xtreme 2weeks ago and i had to send it back!! Then i bought the beoliet 15 and it sounds a lot better!!

[@realaudioreviews]

+Tom His actually the bang and olufson is better idk what youre talking about.

[@Allanwify]

It sounds really good. Even on youtype with my new amazing Beoplay H7 Headspeakers

[@EDHBlvd]

Have you tried the Bose SoundLink Mini? It sounds incredible for $199. Keep in mind I am a very open Bose hater. Most of their products are overpriced plastic garbage. The SoundLink Mini on the other hand is amazing. Sounds great and huge. Is made of aluminum and the battery lasts hours. Love mine.

[@robertofernandezguillen2704]

+Rediscover Film Bose soundlink is a very good speaker but its nothing like the beoliet 15. But the bose is a small device whit medium sound and the Beoliet 15 is high (loud) sound.

[@AngusPearson]

+Rediscover Film There's always the Bang & Olufsen BeoPlay A2 which is smaller and comes in at $399 or cheaper and still sounds amazing for it's size

[@TonyStone3000]

+Rediscover Film I'll check them out. I too am a BOSE hater. But good is good.

[@jeffreyabell4663]

Great review, thanks for sharing!

[@christophstoebich]

even in standby i have a medium background noise, do you notice it ? I have it even when no phone is connected

[@TheLeogator]

It really sounds the best. Rich, silky, full musical sound. Excellent addition to life! Good review too. It is funny to hear (well recorded) my speaker (now connected to my laptop) sounding like it really sounds every day. Funny and amazing. You guys, it really sounds like Steve had recorded, hehehe. :-) :-)

[@AnthonyGoodley]

I would like to know how this speaker compares to the Klipsch KMC 3 portable Bluetooth speaker that I own? The woofer alone in the KMC is 5" iirc! 110 watt peak, a very flat response and runs on 8 D batteries that last around 12 hours at max volume. Oh yea 0 distortion cranked all the way up even. I just can't believe this little thing sounds better overall. No way can it be louder...

[@123eya8]

when it comes to just sound quality, beo15 and 2 pair of jbl lsr 305. which one is better? wanted to buy jbl but this obe is beautiful

[@khrisztian]

I was reading reviews of this model but I was astonished that this is actually a MONO speaker, not stereo, is this the case? I own a SoundLink III, which sounds GREAT at 200 bucks less.. just trying to decide, if I'm paying a premium just for design or it's actually better than the SL 3

[@ewandroy9220]

It's alot better than the Soundlink 3.

[@mjrod1985]

that 35 1.4 rendering looks sweet

[@zoltanszabo1537]

Hey Steve! waiting for the H8 review. Is it really better then a Grado?

[@martysimons9749]

Nice sound and look but it's borderline too large for me to consider portable. If it needs its own bag to bring along, its too big. Imho.

[@Ant3739]

Steve, I appreciate you doing an audio review, but with all due respect I have to say it is difficult to get an idea of how something sounds in this manner, even if you use a good external microphone. I'm also into pro audio besides photography and I when I check whether "something" sounds good, it's done generally as an A/B comparison between with/without. For example, the KZbin channel ProTools Expert offers reviews of audio plugins. They show a track without the plugin, then with the plugin. In this manner, one can hear how good "something" sounds (i.e. a plugin) because there's a reference (i.e. without the plugin) against which one can evaluate the product being reviewed. In other words, on KZbin, the only way one can hear how good this B&O Beolit sounds would be if you had an other Bluetooth speaker playing the same music and A/B between them. Of course, not a practical solution in your case, but it should give you some food for thought about doing audio equipment reviews.

[@VoelveUlrik]

Could you do an SCD-1 session, using this?

[@Gielleyssens]

Does this thing go louder than the Beolit 12? I want to use it for private parties sometimes, so it has to be as loud as possible.

[@holsteincowboy]

That bar stool needs some oil !

[@ErnestoCruzBey]

No distortion ? Even in the max volume it sound full & crisp with no restriction? Is the bass really heavy ? I dont want to bother nobody

[@TheVantie]

I know it's Been a while! 19 year old first time B&O product user here! But the bass is extreme, and with the new app "Beoplay" you Can adjust bass, and how "light" or "heavy" the Sound should be. No distursion at all, not even at full volume! I've taken this bad boy to the beach, parties etc. And everyone keeps on being impressed! Only thing is, the battery isn't that great at greater volumes. And when you're outside you have to play loud, because of the mono/360 Sound it have. If it was stereo you could play, at a lower volume to hear it probably. Amazing speaker in my opinion, my friends always tells me to bring it along :P

[@ryanjhcho]

what was that jazz music? it s lovely.

[@MrAkhamis]

+Ryan Cho according to soundhound, it is kat edmonson, song called oh my love. love the song too

[@elite2sick225]

Can u connect these speakers to a flat screen tv??????

[@jksala2864]

+Silent Killa's21 There is a minijack input. I use mine with my laptop...so yes you can

[@NGLY13]

im considering between beolit15 and B&W a5 and marshall stanmore? which one i should go for? anyone can help me out? thanks a lot

[@TheZakiMix]

Stanmore

[@maggie19ful]

Is the handle strap removable

[@jzy0104]

Bowers and Wilkins A5 or this?

[@dillsnufus]

Better than ue boom or mega boom ?

[@hayfire2]

Battery: 24 hours at moderate levels.

[@AllenMuellerDesign]

interpol8 much? I always laugh when reviewers play music out of speakers, into a mic and then compress so I can play it from youtube off my own speakers.

[@TagYoureItRO]

+Allen Mueller True dat..

[@AllenMuellerDesign]

WHOOSH

[@AllenMuellerDesign]

soo... I'm waiting for your explanation?

[@codyrobinson22]

Steve sound's better than the Bose Soundlink 3 :)

[@realaudioreviews]

10x better

[@khnns4121]

how bout sony srs x77 vs beolit 15?

[@VoelveUlrik]

Made in Denmark : ) (so is Bluetooth itself, named after Viking king Harald Blåtand).

[@Drygore]

Bluetooth is Swedish though. But yeah, it's named after a Danish viking king.

[@VoelveUlrik]

Excuse me, my mistake - you're right.

[@sennabouwers1811]

Bluetooth itself is a Dutch invention made by a Dutch person from Hardenberg (my home area). the Inventor worked for Ericsson where he patented it he never became rich of it.

[@VoelveUlrik]

Bang & Olufsen is a quality product from my country Denmark

[@Drygore]

Senna Bouwers Semi-true. There were several engineers involved when they invented it in Lund, Sweden. But basically they were two, your Dutch engineer and his closest colleague: Sven Mattisson (Swedish).

[@roscar72]

beolit 15 vs marshall stanmore ?????

[@realaudioreviews]

+Rosario Gimmati Beolit 15, marshall stanmore has tons of reliability problems, also i dont think most of their products are portable. For sound I would go for the beolit, much more power. For simply portable the JBL xtreme is great.

[@MYTHIRDSHADOW]

having never heard this in person, I still doubt it has better bass than the jbl extreme....

[@vikramgill8256]

its wayyyy better

[@bluemercy8127]

The Braven XXL has way better bass than the JBL Xtreme

[@tomhis8623]

How is this hand bag beautiful? it's looks cheap

[@stephankirchhoff7743]

+Tom His go see it in person, you will fall in love with them

[@gianmarcobuemi]

bose soundlink III vs beolit15???

[@realaudioreviews]

Bose has horrendous sound compared... Idk why you would even put the two in the same sentence. I would never buy a bose product again. Go with the JBL exreme for that price point

[@bhegg]

Thanks for the review. Your blurry hand in the frame is unnecessary and distracting.

[@jjlp215]

Denmark gogogo proud dane

[@olafc]

If it has a leather strap, you are on board!

[@silverfoils]

Shame it looks like a woman's handbag.
