In holland they are eur 699

£599 here, and we have stock..!

I suppose in Holland it is 19% VAT, just like in Germany.

That makes it appr. 588 Euro  (=774 USD = 724 AUD) + VAT

I have to say ... I brought one of these home last week and I can't stop using it.  Great little device!

 

This might sound insane, but I was using it most of the day yesterday and when the battery finally died I was actually a little bit disappointed that I needed to turn my TV (with BeoLab 5's!) on to keep listening to Spotify radio.  I think they definitely nailed it with the development of this product.

Just had a demo of it in Athens B&O store. Nice little device. Nice feeling but i was prepared by photos and the B&O Play website. But the price in Greece is 780Euros. As always we are expensive for no apparent reason. Also had a side by side comparison to BS8. In my ears BS8 has much more complete sound stage. Just my opinion though.

Does anyone in Greece have 780Euro's anymore...? 😉

I'm surprised B&O shops in Greece can turn a profit as the economy's so f****d at the moment 🙁

First of all, do not believe all you see in the news. 🙂

Economy is bad, but i think that is apparently more or less allover Europe, not to say the globe. 😮

Either way, i agree. 780Euros are a lot. At the time being is the minimum wage (per month) of an employee here.

Glad to hear that Doc 🤒

I am confused. Were you expecting the smaller, portable and cheaper BeoLit to match the bigger, fixed and more expensive BeoSound 8 sound wise?
