B&O’s iconic Beoplay A9 speaker has been given a pretty hefty upgrade

B&O has launched an updated version of its iconic Beoplay A9 speaker that makes the stunning system even more of a must-have. The latest iteration of the distinctive speaker comes with some impressive new features like a built-in Google Assistant for ease-of-use, Active Room Compensation that optimises sound performance based on your surroundings, a new and stronger streaming engine for better performance and connectivity, and two additional full range drivers that create a much broader soundscape. If that tickles your fancy, you’ll be able to get your hands on the all-new Beoplay A9 (£2,250) when it launches on May 14.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
