Bang & Olufsen isn’t like other tech companies. While most brands try to balance value for money with the latest features, cutting back on materials and design to focus on core functions, the Danish design-centric firm has yet to learn the word “compromise”—at least not with its flagship products.

You could buy any number of wireless Bluetooth speakers, many of which sound pretty good, but if you want the best sound, all the connectivity features you could need, and package it in a gorgeous demonstration of industrial design prowess, you had to buy their Beosound A5. As I said in my review, it’s not for everyone—particularly if you don’t fancy spending $1,099 on a portable speaker—but for those who are interested and can afford it, it’s a basically flawless product.
