I found the IR sensor on the 12 to be a PITA, because whenever I turned something off with my remote it would also turn of the 12. I wanted the 12 to be on all the time.

That could be/have been changed easily.

Just put the BeoLit 12 in Option 4!

Then it will not react to the remote, unless you place a 'Link' command before the command you want to use on the BeoLit 12.

Or you could have disabled the ir using Option 0 🙂

Sorry but I found the BeoLit 12 IR sensor very convenient to be able to increase precisely the volume. 🤒

Good points...

The Bluetooth volume control should be more precise 🙂

I think I like the Beolit 15, but will not buy it due to the colors it has. Gold, pink, baby blue, it may be fashionable but certainly not for me. I cannot imagine any grown-up man buying a pink speaker? I know Apple is also selling golden iPhones and iPads but I know nobody who actually bought one. And they at least give the option to buy regular white or grey. Maybe normal colors like white, grey, aluminium and black will be added to the Beolit 15 in the future, then I will become interested and probably buy one.

 

BeoVision 11-55, BeoLab 8000, Beo6, AppleTV, BeoPlay A2

 

 

Amazone, I agreed with you before seeing the champagne one (not gold). When I did, I discovered it is actually very elegant and it would perfectly blend with my wooden floor.. I suggest you should see it in flesh...

A huge portion of lifestyle electronic brands stakeholders are female. Why assume B&O targets male only? Birds of the same kind flock together please do not judge the whole world base on people around. Look at statistics. There's a reason why data collection is big business. 

Received today BeoPlay response regarding my request for the BeoLit in black edition;

my picture will be pass to the Development Team. 🤒

I found the IR  useful to switch off the radio on the iPad using the beo4 .

I never thought of the option to turn of the IR 😉

Just out of the shop for a side by side comparison between A2 and Beolit 15. Spent 15 minutes changing devices on a specific depeche mode live track (my secret garden) and a song played by my daughter "girls in luv".

I choose the 15 by far. Warmer, richer, nice details, great bass management.

May go for a pink one (!?) this afternoon (only color available yet).

Beoboy68: The black edition is the first one that I would buy! In all other colors the Beolit 12 and 15 just look... ugly.

btw: What's the exact technical difference between Beolit 12 and 15? Only the exchanged Airplay to Bluetooth and missing IR receiver?

The IR control of the Beolit 12 is a big bonus at home.

 

And did anybody had the chance to compare the 12 and 15 soundwise?
