NOW IN ITS third generation, Bang & Olufsen's Beosound A1 portable Bluetooth speaker sports a machined aluminum body and leather strap, complementing a stylish design that leans more toward the artistic than the majority of similar speakers. Coming from B&O, that shouldn't be a surprise, and the feel is certainly at the premium end of things.
