Jonas Brothers Tiny Desk youtube stream played through £110,000 speakers 😂
Yo everybody eating the man up in the comments, y’all are so mean fr, this dude is at an event by the looks of the lanyard and is just sharing his love
I heard those at Axpona one year and quite enjoyed them.
I bet the Jonas Bros have never sounded better.
That they did my friend
😂
Dream system for sure, I’m rocking a pair of 9’s and they sound amazing
Totally envious for sure
Would’ve been great if you were just turning up tv volume and they weren’t even connected
“This is excellent!”
Not only were they connected and working but there were over 40 B&O products all running exceptionally well all at the same time with zero issues.
I had no idea that b&o was still around
Still very popular in Europe. The pricing has always been a struggle in the US .
In the 80s they were the first multi room audio systems and had the cool Scandinavian design but Americans and our cardboard houses preferred in wall speakers that disappeared and that was a real challenge to B&O. They had a tough time selling $10,000 TVs too.
I think they’ve been saved on the line a few times. Should’ve gone out of business a long time ago, but investors come through every time.
Eh.
The photo doesn’t give them justice but you just had to be there
Won’t say i’m a massive fan but i have had the Harmony and 90’s in the showroom and installed a few pairs. Those are some of the few B&O products i would entertain.
Too expensive.
there are lots of similarly priced passive speakers that dont even compare, all many talk about is like “new super tech diamond coated nano-tech tweeter” and other nonsense that dont matter. b&w, focal etc have made no real improvement in speakers for decades. its the same ancient passive design with the same acoustic design. beolab 90 is an all-in effort.
Beoplay. Portables. Have bought and been gifted and then tossed three of them over the years. The batteries are diabolical and run down within mins when using Bluetooth and after just a few charge cycles are kaput. Meaning they only work when plugged into the mains. First I thought the problem was me but nope, a mate had the same troubles. BO dealer wasn’t interested in helping coz each time I returned to shop 12 months had elapsed (I didn’t use them often).
Tends to be an allergic reaction to them around here. Any attempt by a HiFi brand to make their products look more appealing often time lands them in the backhanded complimentary “lifestyle” category.
Which honestly speaks to an alarmingly broad lack of knowledge. Even a cursory look at the history of design–that is, component engineering AND “how it looks” or more simply form and function–should indicate that there are deep, rich histories that so-called “audiophiles” simply ignore. Whether it’s radio, television, or audio devices, museums around the world highlight industrial design histories.
B&O has been a leader in this space for decades, and I wish more of the community would actually recognize these histories, regardless of whether they personally find the B&O sound or design language appealing.
This is a amazing comment and could not agree with you more thank you very much!
The only thing I can really say is that you have to at least give them a listening to. Definitely not a lifestyle product by far
Oh, I am in 100% agreement. I’ve always thought B&O both look and sound great and Beolab 28s were one of the systems I was considering before I settled on what I have now.
Don’t know alot about them other the they have been around forever and first class equipment.
Price to performance?
Even with the money I would buy somethog else and invest the rest in a proper room.
I have two Beoplay S3 bluetooth speakers, and while they probably cannot be considered audiophile (not all frequencies have quite the clarity I would like), I am so impressed by how good they sound, especially the bass you can get out of those little fuckers. They look good too, and I think back in the day I paid no more than $250 for a pair on Amazon. Unfortunately they don’t make them anymore, and if they did I’m sure they would have increased in price. But if you have a smaller room they provide a full, rich sound, and I would heartily recommend picking up a used pair. A single one sounds good too, but together they are truly impressive at their price level.
I have Beoplay S3 too…a pair in my bedroom. Dollar for dollar they are some of the best speakers I’ve ever owned.
