The portable speaker Bang&Olufsen Beolit 20, introduced in 2020, is still at the top of the preferences of premium audio users. The acoustics retained the design and power of their predecessor Beolit 17, but received a number of improvements. The cost of the speaker is considerable, about $600, let's see how it is justified.
Elegance and reliability
Beolit 20 evokes a feeling of reliability and practicality throughout. The rectangular anodized aluminium body has rounded corners and is protected on all sides by an aluminium grill. Because of this, despite the compact dimensions of 230x135x189 mm, the model turned out to be quite weighty, 2700 g. A leather handle is provided for carrying, but you are unlikely to want to use it often. The speaker is not waterproof, so you'd rather install it somewhere in a conspicuous place in the house than carry it around on picnics. Stylish original colors (gray-gold and black-blue) will perfectly fit the device into any interior.
The top panel of the Beolit 20 deserves special attention. It has a soft-touch finish and high edging so that you can put your smartphone there without fear that it will slip off. And you will do this if your device, like the speaker, supports wireless charging. However, you can also recharge from the device via USB C. But do not flatter yourself too much, the battery is not too capacious - 3200 mAh.
Delight for the audiophile
The speaker is equipped with 3 full-range speakers, a subwoofer and 2 passive radiators, which, together with 2 class D amplifiers with a power of 35 W each, give a powerful and perfectly balanced sound with clear highs and velvety elastic bottoms. Enough power to sound the room up to 40 square meters. m or slightly smaller open area. At the same time, you will not feel any distortion even at high volume.
The Bang&Olufsen App greatly expands the musical possibilities of the system. The existing Ambient, Favorite, Optimal, Party and Speech presets offer a range of listening styles, from increased clarity for podcasts to bass boost for True 360 surround sound. You also have the option to create your own EQ settings.
Ease of connection
The speaker is connected via Bluetooth v 4.2 with support for the AAC codec and using a mini-Jack AUX cable (not included), the connector for which is hidden at the bottom of the case. The TWS function allows you to create a stereo pair with another Beolit 20 or Beolit 17 and sound twice the space.
8 hours without recharging
Bang & Olufsen estimates the Beolit 20's runtime at about eight hours at medium volume. That is, on the street we get real 5 - 6 hours.
Despite all the beauty of the appearance and sound of the Beolit 20, there is a feeling of easy deception. Agree, the lack of a Wi-Fi module, a smart assistant, outdated Bluetooth 4.2 and a frankly weak battery with power bank and fast charging functions look strange for such an expensive speaker.
Conclusion
The Bang&Olufsen Beolit 20 was created with an emphasis on high-quality productive sound and original design. The Bluetooth speaker is definitely good, but not enough to compete with such obvious segment leaders as the same Klipsch The Three II or Marshall Stanmore II.
