Music becomes punchier, podcasts are more engaging, and there’s an extra degree of realism in the videos you watch.
RUGGED YET STYLISH
The WS-B1A boasts a robust IP67 grade waterproof performance, allowing you to play your music anywhere, anytime — even where it’s wet. It’s also dust-resistant, for extra durability.
The WS-B1A looks as great as it sounds, too. Its stylish exterior is covered in a luxurious fabric that’s acoustically transparent, ensuring crisp and clear sound.
WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY
With full support for Bluetooth (including the latest Bluetooth 5.0), the WS-B1A can be used up to 33 feet away from your device — simply pair it up with the push of a button and you’re good to go.

It’s easy to charge the WS-B1A using the included standard USB Type-C cable — just plug it in to your device or any USB wall charger. What’s more, it gets fully charged in only three hours, giving you up to 12 hours of play time.

EASY TO USE
Using the WS-B1A is simple and straightforward, with four touch keys on the top panel that put full control at your fingertips. At just the push of a button, you can increase or decrease volume, skip back to the beginning of the song or ahead to the next track on your device, or turn Clear Voice (see below) on or off.
CLEAR VOICE TECHNOLOGY
The WS-B1A offers the same proprietary Clear Voice technology that you’ll find in many Yamaha sound bars. Simply hit the top panel Clear Voice button and podcasts and video soundtracks instantly sound better than ever, with background noise and sound effects lowered and dialogue brought front and center, making voices easier to hear and understand.
