Beolit 17 is official

Good video. I learned about the Beoplay and used it for my new H4s based on what I saw. Also, the benefits of the 17 versus the 15 . 

That read Beoplay App until corrected by Apple.

The A3 became obsolete as soon as the Apple connector changed its size. This was beyond the control of B&O. 

Simple really - Never ever rely on a dictator to earn a living! I said it at the time but apparently Apple were to be B&O's saviour!

Never trust a sociopathic megalomaniac. See companies making headphones with mics and line controls for iPhones now that the iPhone 7 has no phone jack.

I mostly agree with Jeff and Puncher. As much as I love B&O but they don't have a clue of their strategy, missing very good designers and quality. That's so sad to see.

B&O should be aware of consumer feedback.
For example on Amazon Germany the most helpful / top rated review about Beolit 15 is a negative one star review, stating that B&O doesn't repair your stuff after the 2 years warranty is over. And no, it is NOT my review 😕
I simply was badly surprised to see this review being top rated by customers:

The world (of technology) is ever changing.

P.S. My iDevices still have holes - I do not intend to scrap those as long as they work.

My A3 does a wonderfull job with an old iPad2.

If I will by the new H4, I am sure that I will gladly just use bluetooth ----- if my next iPhone should be without headphone jack.

What comes after that, we'll see then ;-)

    Language, for pity's sake

 

regarding the remote:

Maybe (just an idea) it will be possible to pair a bluetooth remote with it. For example Essence Remote or Beoremote one BT

Did anybody try it on a Beolit 15?

No remote. Turn on by local press only.

Beolit 15 or 17? Did you actually try to pair a bluetooth remote with it?
