It’s worth spending time looking for reviews from customers that have owned the product for some time as that will give you a really good idea of the product’s durability.
Our best advice for checking out the quality is reading reviews, but also use some of these to help you get an idea of the quality:

Price analysis
B&O B&O Beoplay A1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker scores 8.9/10 for price in our review.
Price is normally the most important factor when considering a purchase. Especially when you’re shopping online, it’s really easy for us to shop around now so we can easily compare prices of the same product against many retailers with just a few clicks. In fact here at Review Pros we do that leg work for you, by comparing many different retailers to find you the best price. But price is also a big factor for which product we choose too, not just which retailer.
To give an example, the most expensive product that we found in the HiFi systems and speakers category was £20000.00, whilst the cheapest we found was £9.97 so there’s a significant variance in the prices that different products are available for. For this reason we always recommend that you set yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a product. It’s easy to get carried away and buying a much more expensive product than you really need, but setting a budget will help to avoid this.
