Today we have launched a new member of the Bang & Olufsen Family: Beoplay P6. With the sound and price in mind, we would like to compare this new portable speaker with one of our best-selling products within the same category: Beolit 17. We will try to clarify the similarities and differences of the two speakers for you. We start by outlining the similarities first.

Both speakers:

  • are available in the colors natural and black/stone grey
  • are designed by Cecilie Manz

And where does Beoplay P6 differ from Beolit 17?
