Weighing just 600g and small enough to sit in the palm of your hand, the Beoplay A1 is an exercise in sleek design and packaging. Its cool-to-the-touch rounded aluminium grille sits atop a durable polymer base, which houses the powerful 30W and 140W drivers and amplifiers. There’s a reported 24 hours of battery life, too, which should prove useful on those long summer days, whether you’re hiking in Yosemite or poolside in St. Tropez.
