The Amazon product I just received arrived completely dead – no battery at all! It powers on for a brief moment before instantly shutting down. I managed to quickly pair it via Bluetooth and heard some sound, but the device died again within seconds.
Despite charging it for a full 3 hours, it still refuses to function properly. Is this typical behavior, or did I get a defective unit?

I’m having similar issues with my B&O A1 – charged it overnight and still won’t stay on. I followed the troubleshooting tips in the article, like checking the power button and ensuring proper charging, but no luck so far. Maybe it’s a known defect, but it’s pretty frustrating when you expect high quality from this brand.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It sounds really frustrating when a high-quality product doesn’t perform as expected. Since the basic troubleshooting didn’t work, it might be worth reaching out to B&O’s customer support—they’re usually great at addressing such issues. In the meantime, if you find any other potential causes, feel free to share them here—others might benefit too!
