People are off their heads buying **** wee speakers like this that are only mono. It's the equivalent of buying a single satellite speaker from a good 5.1/2.1 system. Anyone serious about their music would need 2 of these at least and lack of a battery means it isn't really a portable speaker at all.
There are some really good STEREO speakers out there for less than you'd pay for 2 of these.

B&O make high end speakers, definitely not an unknown brand.

I got one of these with my phone. Amazing speaker! Great price!
Hopefully the battery life is better than the A2. As that is spectacularly bad. (Sounds great though)

Not portable/no battery - needs mains power.

I absolutely agree. The only use case I can think of is that you could bring this travelling and use in a hotel room or something like that.

Mate these have a Stereo Setting? works incredibly well with two speakers when wireless , but can also be used wired as left and right channel.

Not everyone wants an ugly 2.1 or 5.1 system with all the wires associated with it. And I bet this still sounds better unless you prefer Beats/Bose style sound.

Brilliant speaker - just make sure you update the firmware - simple enough to do - the bluetooth needs updating - otherwise the first song you play will have about a 2/3 second audio delay

Epic Speaker, had mine for over a year sound and bass is crystal clear! Also buying two sounds incredible can both be paired and be used with the B&O App for both iOS and Android. HEAT

Without the B&O name, these would probably be worth ~£50.
For £50, I'd definitely buy a pair & link them for stereo output.
Ok, I'd stretch to £110 for the pair (sorry, this site has totally spoiled me!).
