Bang & Olufsen withdrawal syndrome

6 replies
Have to move out for a while due a house refurb and also hoping for a B&O solution in coming months that will play high definition music files. Decided to sell off my beloved BL5s, Bv4 and my not my not so loved Bs5. Now I'm left with daily pangs for music and TV the B&O way. Temporarily satisfied the withdrawals today by purchasing the Beo music app for my iphone so i can play music on it through my headphones with the B&O 'look' rather than using the dreary itunes music player app. Will build a new setup from scratch later this year or 2014.

Have you ever had withdrawals from missing your B&O gear and how did you cope...? 😢 😭

Years ago I sold a Bm 7000 system and waited a year for the 3200 Hd system!

Then sold that for my first BV 7-40..

Now so much B&0 lol.

We bought new flat last year, 3 months of changing everything in that place and I mean everything. I took longest trip ever. Palms, seaside, fishing, just a glimp of civilization. No headphones, no. Nothing to remind me. That was also a test if I can change and find more valuable things in life exept family ofc. 

I failed. Haven't find meaning of life without bno :)

Ha ha! Loved that comment Milos. You know just how I feel. Once bitten by the B&O bug forever infected.
Being a consultant often on the road, I used to take my BS2 and A8 earbuds.

At one time I event carried a Beoport for N.Radio 🙂

And later I was away from home for an extended period I even bought BL4s locally to enjoy weekend music !

So I could never truly withdraw !!

I sold most of my Beogear back in 2003-2004. Entered an era where I wanted to try other stuff. Only saved a pair of Penta 3's and my first B&O, my Beocenter 2300.

 

I still got these, although they are at my brothers house, but little by little I bought back B&O stuff again.
