To recap

The 2020 Beolit speaker advances longevity and features over its predecessor, making for an attractive and great-sounding Bluetooth portable offering. However, it’s very expensive considering the competition, and without Wi-Fi and connectivity beyond its Bluetooth connection it feels limited at a time when other makers are jumping forward.
