So that's what the speaker's numbers are referring to! Now I understand. I've been very happy with my Beolit 15, which still sounds amazing after all these years although it's battery life isn't great. Keep up the good work John and here's hoping the latest lockdown doesn't hurt the business too much.

I love B&O products and have a few, so was definitely tempted to grab a Beolit 17 from Dixon's when passing thru the UK recently, but just couldn't do it no matter how much I loved the looks and sound, when my Riva Audio Concert not only offers portability with removable battery, and bluetooth, but also WiFi, Alexa, Spotify etc. It feels like to get a speaker from a high quality manufacturer, you have to be willing to give up flexibility.

It is a magic box. All the songs sound amazing. I can hear things that I’ve never heard before in my music collection. I am so happy with it. 👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The sound quality is the best of the best.

I have the Beloit 17 and have just bought the Beloit 20 to pair them both up. The extra battery life will be great, I’ll probably turn off the wireless charging feature to increase playback time. Personally Bluetooth 4.2 won’t bother me, my phone will stay on top of the unit or near while choosing music. The sound and clarity from these portable speakers is incredible and Bang & Olufsen were great to deal with as well.

Is it advisable to buy it in order to use it as a high-quality computer speaker always connected to a power outlet?

Jhon, My query is simple. Which sounds better among Beoplay M5 & Beolit 20 ? Please answer specifically

thank you. can i use the beolit 20 with any other b&o speakers any other way otger than bluetooth pairing?

Great video as always John! Like quite a few of the commenters below, I’m a bit baffled that the Beolit 20 is still using BT 4.2 (especially considering all the other new B&O Bluetooth products released this year use BT 5.1). The Beolit 20 still looks lovey though, particularly in the anthracite/navy finish

No BT 5.0 is BS... Unacceptable. Have the 17 and love it but no to 20s. Buying the 20s tells B&O it's OK to milk us but it's not. Very disappointed as a huge B&O fan.

Dear John, thank you for nice review of Beolit 20. I am owner of Beolit 15 and considering buying Beolit 20. Do you know if i will be able to pair Beolit 15 & 20 together for "stereo sound". Thx a lot.

Does this speaker sound louder than it was 300 from Sonos???

Great to see a huge battery life. I've got the 15 and it's battery life isn't fantastic at all, especially due to the lack of space which was originally taken up for the charger cable storage compartment. That aside, I also agree that it's *by far* the best sounding portable speaker money can buy. Never would you expect a speaker the size of a lunchbox to smoothly hit the mid to high 30Hz range and have such a well rounded overall sound. Bit of a shame about BT4.2, and the price is obviously a bit steep for some, but after hearing it in the shop before I bought it, I quickly understood why!

I owned the 15, now I own the 17 and I was hoping for some kind of innovation, but sadly it seems that the new features are not worth buying a new speaker :(

I work in Kopřivnice in the former factory belonging to the B&O company, however, we still produce Bang & Olufsen products here. Specifically, now A9 is enjoying great interest, so we work as hard as we can. And just this year, I decided to give myself another product of this premium brand. It started with Form 2i headphones over Beolit ​​17 and the latest additions are the last E8 series. And when I see it that way, the Beolit ​​20 will be next in line. When should production start and especially where will it be produced? Will it be in Denmark or here in Kopřivnice? Is there anything specific already known?

@BangOlufsenManchester

Depends what your definition of 'good bass' is. Sound is subjective. It has very deep punchy bass that remains accurate even at higher volumes. To me it has the most powerful bass of all the portable Bluetooth speakers by Bang & Olufsen as it has the biggest bass driver and cabinet. If you are looking for something that has overly boosted bass for the sake of it then this is not for you, like most B&O items it's tuned to be faithful to the original recording. Play bass heavy music and you'll hear plenty of bass, it won't boost the bass of everything like some do. You do have the Beosonic function in the app to tune to your taste if you like. Also it depends where it's playing, indoors close to a wall or corner the bass will be much more than if it's playing in an open field outdoors as the environment affects the way speakers sound. Best thing is to try it out if you can in a store. Hope this helps. John

I have had the BEOLIT 20 for about 11 months now. It was a Christmas present from my wife.

Random 1 sec interruptions and loss of connection. Also, not able to play music from my laptop because it doesn't recognize it. I sent the speaker back to B&O for inspection/repairs.

John, seriously, why did you design it with BT 4.2? No need to confuse the people ;). The way they follow naming convention with Beolit never crossed my mind. So at least it makes us two :). It means we might not expect a new Beolit upgrade in a year that has already been, e.g. 39. I am a little confused about this upgrade though. I still have a Beolit 15 that I’ve always loved but now that it’s in a bigger space I have been thinking about upgrading for a while. I would’ve been interested in a Beolit 20 with bigger sound compared to the 17 which I’ve skipped. Personally I think the upgrade from 15 to 17 was more appealing to me than the upgrade from 17 to 20. It’s nice that you can use the Chi charger only if you want to, cause I have actually put stuff on top of the 15 and I might not always want to drain the Beolit 20. The design is still nice but I’ve kind of expected a touch more modern feel overall. When you compare the look of the 15 to the 12, then the gap is more noticeable for instance. When it comes to the coloured cloth/mesh under the grill, Beolit has been known to play with different colours but I personally think the grey and black tone of the 17 was more elegant, like in your comparison at 3:00. Now the orange and royal blue tones add a contrast I am not so sure about. Maybe the blue-black seems more composed than the orange colliding with the tan leather on the grey version. These tones would have been achieved with the aluminium grill in past models. I think I might wait and see if the Balance gets both multiroom and a new colour option or what the new speaker B&O has recently run a survey about on Instagram will be like. But I’m ready to move on from Beolit, as impressive as it is! Cause I can definitely say that for the price its sound is bigger than that of my Beosound 1. Thanks for making the video John, much appreciated!

Hi. It took me until later in the Beolit 17 run to guess where the number came from, the 20 just confirmed it I guess😄. It’s good the B&O still have faith in the basic design as it hasn’t really changed much in 8 years, and must therefore be a good seller. Having said that B&O calling it ‘new’ may be pushing it a little when it is so similar to the 17 but hey it’s had an update in 2020 so why not. I don’t understand the differences in the Bluetooth formats, but I’m guessing 5.0 is supposed to be better and 4.2? Not really an issue to me though, I’ve never had any problems with any of my B&O Bluetooth kit. Hope all you guys in Manchester are keeping safe, it’s worrying times (again) so look after yourselves. Thanks.

It looks nice, does make me wonder what the market is. The price is a bit high for younger people who would use it more outside. and for inside Wifi for chrome cast, Airplay 2, Multiroom. would be nicer.

VERY odd, it is a new product but has the old Bluetooth version 4.2. Very strange indeed. Anything under version 5.0 is unacceptable in 2020. I have seen some products with 5.1 already.

The latest portable speaker without the latest Bluetooth... and with no outdoor skills whatsoever (water, dust and heat protection)... 🤔 I am mostly disappointed as I was really looking forward to getting one of those... the A1 being a little « light ».

how much

37hz is a very misleading way of setting the frequency range. YES, it does play 37 hz, but its not flat down to 37hz. Given the size of the thing, i would imagine it going flat down to 80 with a deep rolloff and with a steep rolloff afterwards.

I think you'd be surprised. B&O are usually very transparent with specs. I've just tried a frequency sweep, (albeit not a proper measurement), on mine in the store. It becomes audible at around 1m away at 60% volume from about 30Hz, 37Hz is pretty fair. The roll off doesn't really get noticeable until around 50Hz. It obviously can't do it with the force of a large subwoofer, it's not magic, but it's certainly there.

the beolit ​​20 is a beolit ​​17 since nothing has been changed same drivers same battery life same volume no aptx no bluetooth 5 the beolit ​​20 is simply a beolit ​​17 that you simply made your 20 ththat's called a rip off

Bluetooth 4.2 ?? oh NO...

This thing can't even charge my phone half way

If you had put a battery in with even twice the capacity you might have got away with selling this

B&O I swear by you. You furnish my home and vehicle. You're a standard I live by. But wtf have you done? If you kept the original colour scheme, this comment would have slid. 2020 was hard enough, but now you've done us too. You've added features we don't need. You've taken away from the aesthetics, with that horrid colour scheme. Unless in some ironic way you were artistically saying here's a representation of 2020; a total shitfest. I know this msg really should be heard by B&O HQ not the M'cr store. But a msg for the store is we as an audience love your integrity and honesty, and it would've been nice if you gave some opinion on that colour scheme too. I know you're in the business of sales. But that said, the fact you didn't mention the colour scheme, maybe says it all. I trusted you guys and ironically if you squinted or fake vomited at the colour options, least mentioned them, I'd be more inclined to agree with whatever else you're saying. Now I'm feeling you're not the B&O buddy, insider, or reviewer, but a salesman. My trust level has dropped from 100%. Other than that, thanks for the video. Just as with the Beolab 14, it seems no one is actually reviewing the Beolit 20 in the tech media. Just throwing out a bunch of stats. I save a sizeable amount to spend on B&O. As I love giving them as presents as well as owning them. I love introducing people to the brand. And watching how those people introduce others. All this video has taught me is: don't buy the Beolit 20. Buy instead a few more 17s and also the 39. Thank you. Appreciated.

Sorry not 5. Bt

This is the Susan Boyle of speakers. Ugly and dowdy but sounds really good.

Even a 150 $ smart phone has a larger battery !!

Sorry, I can't speak for all British people, I don't have that authority! I certainly wear a mask in public and in the store if anyone comes in. Customers are asked to wear mask in the store and we take sanitation very seriously. This was filmed by me while I was alone.

For me, the sound just so so, as it was 3 yr ago technology. Now with Dolby atom, this beolit is nothing, and just buying the name so much $
