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?

I've been with B&O for 10 years now, probably about time I signed up to a BeoWorld account!

I was a bit delayed thanks to getting the BeoLit 17's a bit late and then my first upload was restricted due to copyright on a piece of music. Got there in the end.

Welcome to Beoworld, John and thank you for your videos! 🙂

Thanks. It's a pleasure, I love doing them.

I'M HERE! Thanks for that. I found this post by chance looking through the forum to see what people think of the new BeoLit 17.

Didn't test sound, only wanted to test the app.

Leogoeswild, you weren't interested in the sound?

Set an alarm. Waited. Did not play anything at alarm time. No-go for me 🙁

That's always a fear with these kind of devices. But, let's face it, who really is going to setup a BeoLit 17 as an alarm? Too big for your bedside table? And wouldn't you need to set it up every day or is there a repeat option?

I have a DAB radio alarm and, occasionally, the DAB signal goes down. When that happens, it's supposed to display a loud audio beep instead of the radio, to wake you up. However, there's being the odd occasion where it plays silence: nothing. So you're supposed to wake up to a low hiss or similar!

I guess it must be very very hard for todays engineers with this absolutely new thingy called "electronics" to build an alarm clock that works... reliable. 😁

It seems to be that one of the defining features of the modern,, technologically advanced world is that common devices and functionality that used to be reliable and simple have become complex and unreliable.
