Danish high-end audio outfit B&O Play unveiled its latest Bluetooth speaker today. The Beoplay P2<\/a> features a grilled aluminum and leather design similar to the company’s impressive $250 Beoplay A1 speaker, which we reviewed last year<\/a>, but otherwise there are some notable differences.<\/p>\n

\"\"
First of all, the P2 is cheaper at $169, and it comes in a smaller housing than the A1, which the company hopes makes this a device “you don’t want to leave your home without”. The other big change is that apart from a power button hidden on the back, the P2 doesn’t have any physical controls to speak of.<\/p>\n

Instead of using buttons, users change the volume, and play, pause, and skip tracks via a series of taps and gestures that can be customized using the accompanying Beoplay mobile app.<\/p>\n

The P2 shares the same tweeter at the A1 unit, but B&O Play says it has redesigned the A1’s mid-woofer using an anodized aluminum cone structure to house it in a smaller chassis without compromising on bass performance.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the P2 also has a microphone to take calls, a USB-C cable for charging, up to 10 hours’ battery life, and splash resistance.<\/p>\n

The Beoplay P2 can be had in black, sandstone, and royal blue colors, and is available today on the B&O Play website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
