Thanks but I would never use wisa on them, thankfully 🙃

Hi Michael,

It seems that 3.0 sw for BL 50 is out now. Can you try to see if you have got the new update?

Best Regards

Nothing here.. maybe B&O blocked me haha.. do I have to power cycle them?

Mine is serial numbers 2994xxxx and 3000xxxx.

Both on 2.3.4.7045.
So I finally sent B&O an email and received a message with a linked zip file of 3.0.0.444 but the file didn’t exist. Anyway, today I found after searching for update via the app (website) that the speakers could download on their own 3.0.0.527.

Either they added me to a list of beta testers or they released it for me now. Who knows.

Scary system as they don’t show any information about what it does or why. I find that extremely stupid and plain rude as it makes it impossible for the client/user to know what has been improved or fixed and adapt to it. I really think this is a really stupid business decision. If B&O reads this - TAKE NOTICE, please.

Anyways. Now my speakers are blinking green and doing it’s thing. Will be nice to see how it goes.
Update done and they sound like new speakers. Maybe placebo, maybe not.

By the way, play this on yours in stereo mode and enjoy:

I don’t think it is placebo. The improvement is both noticeable and amazing.

I looked at mine and they are on 3.0.0.257. Is the 527 correct and there is a newer version than what I have? Or was 527 just a typo of 257?

Thanks!

527, so it seems completely new.

Hi Michael,

I also got the software 3.0.0.527 and have also tried other variations of the 3.0 software. My feeling is that the BASS is much less with this new software tnan the old 2.3.4.7045. What is your opinion about the Bass response?

I dont feel that the sound quality is improving. I have rolled back to 2.3.4.7045
