‘at B&O PLAY we constantly push ourselves to innovate – but also to constantly refine the best to be even better’ says henrik taudorf lorensen, head of B&O PLAY and continues, ‘beolit 12 was released in 2012 and is a great and iconic product. with beolit 15, we have taken that product and refined it even further – completely redesigning the acoustic structure and bringing in many of our recent innovations like true360 sound and great battery life. we believe it is the best music system of its kind in the market.’

‘beolit 15 stands out with its anodized aluminum grill smoothly wrapped around the speaker and its full grain leather strap that lets you carry it around your home easily – yet it blends in with its clean lines and cool colors’, says cecilie manz, the danish designer behind beolit 15 and continues, ‘the speaker body is made from strong and durable polymer and there is a non – slip rubber tray on top of the speaker for your mobile devices. it’s a product built to last – all over the house. you could call it a strong little workhorse – dependable and unspoiled.’
