If you think the speaker above would look right at home on the set of Mad Men, give yourself a pat on the back: Bang & Olufsen shaped the last century's audio outlook with its iconic, enduring designs. And the firm has mined its celebrated past (particularly its 1960s Beolit radio series) for the new Beosound A5.
The new B&O product vying to be one of the best Bluetooth speakers to grace our 2023 testing process – and it's got every chance, given that the exceptional Beosound A1 (2nd Gen) and Beosound Explore currently feature in that roundup – has been designed in collaboration with the Danish-Italian design duo GamFratesi. It is available in two colorways, our favorite being the natural aluminum with a woven paper fiber front with a light oak handle.
