Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased the BeoSound 1 in Dark Grey from the B&O Amazon store two months ago, and I wanted to really get to use it before writing this review. I recently moved into a loft apartment with a large open living/dining area and 12 ft. ceilings and I wanted a single solution for my audio needs. I wanted an all-in-one package, without worrying about how to hide speaker wires, and I also wanted a clean aesthetic. At first I was leaning towards purchasing the Bose, but I was not very impressed when I visited their local store. I read up online on the BeoSound 1 (including all the negative reviews at the audiophile sites) and decided to buy the unit without even listening to it first.
Before I bought the BeoSound, my favorite place to hear music was in my car. After two months of very broad and rigorous play, I can confidently say this is the best electronics purchase I have ever made.
The unit is beautifully designed and pleasing to the eye (which is also why I chose B&O) but more importantly fills my space with music without any distortion at upper levels. I've enjoyed the warm rich tones of Ray Lamontagne, Sufjan Stevens, David Gray, City and Colour, Gustavo Santaolalla; the full array of sounds from Zero 7, The Postal Service, Incubus, Thursday, The Juliana Theory, MuteMath, Dredge, The Black Keys; and the hard hitting beats played by GusGus, Swayzak and Damian Lazarus; all with absolutely amazing clarity!
Everyone who has experienced it is blown away that such a crisp, full and joyous sound is coming from `that one small speaker???!!!' If you are thinking of buying the BeoSound 1, do it. You will not regret this purchase!!
Update: I recently purchased the input adapter and get the same crisp, clear amazing sound plugging my mp3 player or my laptop into my BeoSound.

BeoSound 1 sets new standards for portable music systems. Instead of starting with the sources (CD and radio), the design team began with the sound quality. The result is a movable loudspeaker with an exceptionally dynamic sound - powerful enough to fill a room. The BeoSound 1 concept is about simplicity and its operation underlines this - just plug it in and BeoSound 1 is ready. All the functions are arranged on a single line and in an order that's easy to understand and simple to use.
