Beocom 5 quality in general

56 replies

Given my past comments on this thread, I feel I should report that since the last software upgrade a few weeks ago everything appears to be normal. The issues (dropping calls, static, unable to register, and on and on) have all been resolved as far as I can tell. The speakerphone sounds terrific and I have come to use it very heavily since gaining confidence in it. 

I will maintain that the process that got us here was absolutely unacceptable, but I won't dwell any further on it. As far as I'm concerned we have a stable phone system and anyone who is still interested should feel comfortable with making the purchase.

My experience closely mirrors Trip's.  The latest software seems to have squashed the bugs.

I will say, however, that having lived through the roll-out of the BeoCom 6000/US 10 years ago, this could have been worse.  At least with the BeoCom 5 the problems were universal, not market specific, which brought B&O's full attention to bear much more quickly.  Oh, the tales I could tell.  But since I still own two of the original 6000's, I can only hope that the 5's age as well.

I should get my Beocom 5 next week (as well as a pair of BeoLab 3's 😁 ).

So is there any news on Software etc. regarding BeoCom 5? Because my dealer told me that they are just getting a new update and that my BeoCom 5 will already be update with that one.

I have version 2.00

Date 5 juli 2010

I don't know if it is the latest sw version

I have 2.10, dated 16 nov 2010.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

Well, it seems like B&O is still doing some work on BC5's software, thats fine. 🤒

I will post my software version as soon as i get it an we will see if there has been a change since November. 🙂
