Expensive and modular: Bang & Olufsen's Beosound A5

Audio manufacturer Bang & Olufsen presents new hi-fi speakers. The Beosound A5 are said to be particularly durable - but they also cost a lot.

They look like a wooden cool box. You can't cool your beer in them, but they do play music that probably doesn't sound bad. We're talking about the Beosound A5, the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth speakers from Bang & Olufsen.

This is included

The speakers are equipped with a 135 millimetre woofer, two 50 millimetre full-range drivers and a 20 millimetre tweeter. These are connected to a dedicated 70 watt amplifier. According to the manufacturer, the speaker should be able to reproduce frequencies from 32 Hz to 23 kHz. The maximum volume is 101 decibels. The speakers can be used individually - B&O promises all-round sound - or as a stereo pair.

The cooler Beosound A5 speakers weigh 3.7 kilos and are IP65 certified - meaning they are dust and splash-proof. But as you can probably guess for yourself: The dark real oak panelling on the outside is not waterproof. But at least the technology behind it is.

Replaceable longevity

The speakers come in two different versions. The lighter version "Nordic Weave" costs 999 francs, the darker "Dark Oak" 1099 francs. The speakers are only sold via Bang & Olufsen stores and the manufacturer's online shop.

Testing devices and gadgets is my thing. Some experiments lead to interesting insights, others to demolished phones. I’m hooked on series and can’t imagine life without Netflix. In summer, you’ll find me soaking up the sun by the lake or at a music festival.
