In their AGM, B&O touted that they have more than 10 new products in the pipeline.

Now, as we have launches such as H95 and the new floor stand for Stage, I'd like to keep a list of said new products. Are they Gen 2 products, headphones or accessories?

H95 probably was one of the new products. Maybe the Stage floor stand was another. And Halo is very interesting.

Which releases will get us to 10+ products, and how will they shape B&O's portfolio?

From past experience ( last dealer meeting in Cannes approx 2008?? ) I would expect  it’ll be the same cr8p in different colours?

Would love it if there were some new innovative products.

When B&O do the things well it is a joy, but for over 10 yeas now it’s been a pain!

Could it be that the BS Balance is counted as 1 of 10?

- BS Balance

- Stage stand

- H95

- Halo remote

- TV stand for Harmony

- Horizon update

I would believe that B&O counts ‘stand’ with some added functionality of any kind as a ‘new’ product.

Let’s wait and see ...

If Balance is taken into account, you should also add the Harmony 88!

Another one:

- Beolit 20, as the successor of the Beolit 17. Somewhere in winter 2020 or spring 2021.

I can see this happening sooner rather than later.

B&O is going to prioritise products which which will generate the quickest and biggest returns. I wouldn't expect brand new major big hitting releases which need intensive dealer support and so on. I'd expect to see more consumer-led products and updates to existing bigger-selling products.

As much as we're all lauding this CX/C9 + Stage stand, it's actually a very basic product with a relatively high markup.

I really hope the 20 will have NL-support!

Dont forget that they also launched

Beosound A1

Beoplay E8 Sport

 

And They will also launch a Gaming Headset.

So they are launching a lot of products compared to before.

Ah, when was the AGM, so if they are set to launch 10 new products, it would have been from that point.

I wonder if new colours is a new product, or new product means all-new product.

The AGM was on August 20, 2020.

Therefore I'd count the new products from there(abouts) onwards.

So:

H95

Stage floor stand
