Beosound a5 spaced aluminium vrijwel niet gebruikt verkeerd in nieuwstaat

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

The Beosound A5 is one of Bang & Olufsen’s more convincing portable designs, combining serious output with refined, room-filling sound. At €1,250, this is a fair used price: it sits close to the €1,201 median, well inside the recent comparable range of €1,104–€1,412. It is not a bargain, but neither is it ambitious.

The appeal is its unusually capable all-in-one format: strong bass, broad 360-degree presentation, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming, multiroom support, stereo pairing, weather resistance, and roughly 12 hours of battery life. The built-in Qi charging pad is a genuinely useful extra, while the replaceable battery improves long-term ownership prospects. At this price, confirm battery health, charging, app/network operation, and that the correct power supply and any carry accessories are included; a clean, fully functioning example remains a worthwhile buy.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Bang & Olufsen

Bang & Olufsen was founded on November 17, 1925, in Struer, Denmark, by engineers Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen. The company began in the attic of the Olufsen family manor, Quistrup, where the founders developed The Eliminator—a revolutionary device that allowed radios to operate from mains electricity rather than batteries. This innovation established B&O as a forward-thinking manufacturer and set the tone for nearly a century of technological advancement rooted in Danish design principles.

The brand is primarily known for premium audio and home entertainment systems, including high-fidelity receivers, radiograms, cassette recorders, and contemporary loudspeakers. B&O pioneered several category firsts: the world's first button-operated receiver in the 1930s and Europe's first cassette recorder, the Beocord-84U, in the 1950s. Today, the company manufactures integrated audio systems, wireless speakers, and headphones that blend acoustic engineering with sculptural industrial design.

Bang & Olufsen occupies the luxury segment of the audio market, positioned as a premium lifestyle brand rather than a specialist audiophile manufacturer. The company's reputation rests on its distinctive philosophy of merging form and function—treating audio equipment as crafted objects designed to enhance living spaces aesthetically. Recognized by the Museum of Modern Art in New York and maintained as a visionary enterprise for over a century, B&O appeals to discerning consumers who value Scandinavian design sensibility alongside sonic performance.
