With devotion and vision remaining the company’s foundation, the brand continues to push the boundaries of au- dio technology and sits at the forefront of acoustic innovation. Bang & Olufsen has given the Beosound A1 and Beoplay E8 Sport an additional colourway of Anthracite Oxygen as part of its sports collection. The award-winning, second-generation, portable Beosound A1 Bluetooth speaker is IP67 certified, meaning it is dustproof and waterproof. It boasts up to 18 hours of playtime and has a 360-degree omnidirectional powerful sound, built-in Alexa, and a three-microphone feature giving a great speakerphone experience. The inclusion of a strap provides the user with the option to hang the speaker while they work out or place it by their side for yoga sessions. Beoplay E8 Sport brings world-class audio and design to a set of sports earphones housed within a wireless charging case. It has performance-driven materials from the sports universe, such as rubber and textured silicone combined with oxygen blue al- uminium details to add precision and elegance. Furthermore, with IP57-certified waterproofing, the earphones are entire- ly resistant to water, allowing the user to focus solely on their training. It was designed to improve performance through music and combines the brand’s outstanding sound performance and craftsmanship with design and product features requested by professional athletes and casual runners who harness the pow- er of music to achieve the goals they set their minds on. The earphones have an anodised aluminium ring that defines the brand's wireless earphone range. In addition, the etched Bang & Olufsen logo has been redesigned to merge the sporty with the sophisticated seamlessly. Thoughtful design features such as a ridged gripped detail on the earphones help adjustments when fingers are wet or sweaty. In addition, the earphones can switch between tracks, take calls and activate Transparency Mode with a simple tap or swipe of the finger to avoid unnecessary stopping or distraction while running.
