Bang and Olufsen Experience

21 replies

Hi, guys! Can anyone tell me in five words your personal experience with your Bang & Olufsen products?

That would be great to know :)

Innovative, impressive, beautiful, amazing and longevity
Luxury, Fidelity, Design, Quality and Gestalt
Not Always The Finest Products
At their best the user can expect beautifully crafted product that gives an experience unrivalled in the industry.

As for ,at least, 50% of the rest of my experience of the product range, regret is what I and my fellow purchaser/owner friends feel.
But Now It's Getting Better

Not what they used 2be.

A month ago my answer would have been:

Part time unpaid beta tester

Now it is:

Incredible hardware, software getting there

It's always been the same on TV chassis. Beosystem 3 was a nightmare when it was put in the Beovision 7. And back then you had to call an engineer out each time for a software update. Beosystem 4 was not to bad when they introduced it in the V1. By the time it arrived in the Avant it was mostly rock solid.

I really dont understand the shift to the latest chassis other than for cost and reduced spend on r&d. It feels like a step backwards on many fronts and not just reliability. Android should give a decent os with readily available development talent I assume. And who cares about SmartTV. The market is still way too dynamic to be making bets.
5 Expressions from me;

Good products, especially speakers. Software improved, especially in audio products. Where have the dealers gone? Bring Tue back. Confused TV strategy.
