About the original
The Beoplay A2 is a Bluetooth 4.0 portable speaker built around an extruded aluminum core, with two 3-inch woofers, two 3-inch passive bass radiators, and two 0.75-inch tweeters driven in a True360 omnidirectional configuration. It measures 10.1 x 5.6 x 1.7 inches, weighs 2.4 pounds, and runs 24 hours on a single charge. Bang & Olufsen was founded in 1925 in Struer, Denmark by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen; the A2 was designed by Cecilie Manz and launched in 2014. The FW16 Supreme collaboration rendered the Supreme wordmark through the grille perforations on a red aluminum body, and retailed for $460. The standard Beoplay A2 retailed for $399 at launch and remains available through Amazon and B&O's direct channels.
