Beolit 17 is official

No Multiroom? With it, Beolit 17 could be a Play alternative for the Beosound 1. Missed opportunity for portable in-house Multiroom solution,, the lit is so much more good looking than the M5, in my opinion.
if "stone grey" is the same color as on the Beoplay A1 it'll look great (only the color, the A1 still looks just ugly and stays unergonomical) 😕
I'm the other way around. I love the design of the A1, but think the BeoLit 12/15/17 looks like something designed in about 1993!
I meant to write: '...compared the 15 and the 17 soundwise',

I wonder if the "more powerful sound" is the heavier bass that seems to have crept into product offerings of late.
I agree. Fasting charging for the folk that use it on the move, ok but I reckon 99% of these things will sit plugged into a garage/kitchen wall all of their lives.If i want to rewind something that's being played from my mobile device(next to me or in my pocket) why would I want to traipse across my kitchen and climb up to do so? Alarm...again on my mobile device. The colours that are initially being released are simply dull and lazy, even more so when you consider B&O is a "lifestyle" company. Grey!None of this should really matter, but what bothers me is that this small company must have very limited personnel and resources to fire at projects. When you consider the debacle that is the Beovision 14, I think they've got bigger fish to fry than adding pointless usability to an already solid device.Well, those who think they need this 'OneTouch' function, will buy it. Personally I don't understand this upgrade ;-( Will be interesting to hear from someone, who has compared the 15 and the 17. Maybe that will justify the change? John o' Manchester, where are you? MM There is a tv - and there is a BV.
Don't understand this upgrade either.
Hope John from Manchester will do a review soon. 🙂
Don't like that when Beoplay release a product that it comes in so few colours. Black and grey only?
Guess I don't need to upgrade my Beolit 15 in pink to the 17.

I don't dislike the bl15/17 shape but love the A1 too. I think it is a virtual masterpiece of sound and design. Just goes to show the need to produce a range of options I guess.I'm the other way around. I love the design of the A1, but think the BeoLit 12/15/17 looks like something designed in about 1993!
Personally I don't understand this upgrade ;-(
Well, it's also had a price increase too - from £399 to £449 in the UK.

The EU and DK prices are exact the same for the 17 as for the 15 - in the list on the B&O Play website.
