Portable Audio Device: Bang & Olufsen's Beolit 20 Speaker
Bang & Olufsen, a prestigious global brand synonymous with luxury and lifestyle, continues its legacy of innovative audio technology, rooted in its Danish origins from 1925. Established by Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen, the brand's unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of audio technology has endured, positioning it as a pioneer in the industry.
In October 2020, the company showcased the latest upgrade of its classic Beolit Bluetooth speaker - a testament to the brand's rich heritage. First introduced in 1939, the reimagined Beolit 20 maintains its iconic sound capabilities within a modern design, enhancing usability for daily life.
The Beolit 20 preserves the distinctive silhouette of the Beolit series, a collaboration between the brand and designer Cecilie Manz in 2012, while incorporating updates to improve user experience. Adopting a modern design with repetitive angled lines and spiraling corners gives the speaker a dynamic, yet optimized look that enhances acoustic performance. The height and curvature of the top shelf have been revised to facilitate various placement options when charging devices, the buttons made more durable, and a vegetable-tanned leather strap providing a finishing touch.
The updated Beolit 20 retains its powerful sound capabilities, with the emphasis placed on enhancing battery life and adding wireless Qi charging. With an extended battery life of 30% at typical listening volumes, users can enjoy extended playtime without frequent recharges. The addition of wireless Qi charging on the top of the product enables users to charge compatible devices, like smartphones, at gatherings or outdoor events where charging outlets may be limited.
