What customers say about "Interfaces"
Bang & Olufsen Beolit 15 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
- USB-C charging cable. Good for my needs.
- The Beolit 15 has a mini USB port inside the power cord compartment in the back for updating the firmware.
- It even has a USB charging port so you can charge your phone/etc.
- The USB port on the back can only be used to charge devices.
- There is a European power adapter included but no USB cable. Poor quality of cables.
