About the original

The Bang & Olufsen Beosound Explore is a 631-gram cylindrical portable Bluetooth speaker (637 grams with the carabiner attached) with two 1.8-inch full-range drivers delivering True360-degree omnidirectional sound, up to 27 hours of playback, Bluetooth 5.2, USB-C charging, and an IP67 dust and water ingress rating that withstands a meter of submersion for thirty minutes. The anodized aluminum body ships with an integrated carabiner and a weather-resistant carry strap. Bang & Olufsen was founded in Struer, Denmark in 1925 by engineers Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, and the Explore was introduced in May 2021 as the company's first outdoor-rated speaker. The SS22 Supreme version is a red anodized colorway with the Supreme wordmark and B&O logo printed down the grille; it was a Supreme-exclusive finish.

About Bang & Olufsen

Bang & Olufsen is a Danish consumer electronics company founded on November 17, 1925 by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen in Struer, Jutland. The company began in the attic of the Olufsen family manor and shipped its first product, the B&O Eliminator mains-powered radio, in 1927. B&O has built its reputation on aluminum-bodied, designer-led audio products including the Beoplay P2 portable speaker and the IP67-rated Beosound Explore, designed by Cecilie Manz. The company manufactures aluminum components at its own Struer factory. Supreme collaborated with B&O on the Beoplay P2 wireless speaker in 2017 and two iterations of the Beosound Explore in 2022.
