In terms of price, too, the two combatants are moving towards each other: WS-B1A is priced at 110 euros - its competitor Boomster Go is a measly 10 euros less. Personally, I recommend WS-B1A for the windowsill, the holiday on the balcony or the tofu barbecue on the terrace. Boomster Go, meanwhile, has proven itself as an outdoor companion.
A powerful bass, clearly audible details and a balanced, lively sound - that's what the perfect Bluetooth speaker should sound like. However, good sound quality is not everything: Stiftung Warentest expects a test winner to be easy to use, to have a long-lasting battery and to offer practical additional functions.
For a purchase price of 119 EUR, Yamaha Music offers the compact WS-B1A, a new Bluetooth speaker. It is available in attractive colours (black, carbon grey with rose gold accents and light grey, also with rose gold accents). The IP67 protection rating makes the speaker dustproof and the speaker is resistant to water for a certain period of time...
