Bang & Olufsen boosted the bass on its swanky portable speaker.

The third-generation of the Beosound A1, B&O’s compact Bluetooth speaker, is now available with a honey tone, eucalyptus green, or natural aluminum housing for $349. The upgraded model features up to 24 hours of battery life, an IP67 rating so you can submerge it to depths of up to one meter, and an improved woofer delivering an extra 2dB of bass over its predecessor. B&O has also added support for the aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec.

<em>The battery inside the Beosound A1 3rd Gen is replaceable so it doesn’t become e-waste when it stops holding a charge, but you’ll need to sent it in to B&O to have it replaced.</em>
<em>In addition to being waterproof, the Beosound A1 3rd Gen is sealed against dust and debris, so a day at the beach won’t destroy it.</em>
<em>The three color options for the Beosound A1 3rd Gen include eucalyptus green, honey tone, and natural aluminum.</em>
