Haven’t seen much problems with USB-C and I work at a 10k employee company. I change batteries in my B&O headphones, as in my Fujifilm X-T3 camera and many other devices. Right to repair is a big thing coming on the US side and here too. It’s not rocket science and it’s great to be able to extend a long trip with several batteries if necessary.Which high end brand does let you change the batteries yourself? The amount of people that even still manage to mess up usb ports(pre type c) is insane as people tend to go “it’s not going in so i must push harder”. Besides why do you care so much about a battery if it’s dealer servicable?! It’ll still work passively and they last for 5+ years. Swapping the battery isn’t some huge cost. New: Beovision Harmony, Beolab 50's, Beolab 18's, Beolab 17's, Beolab 3's, Beosound 9000 mk3, Beosound Stage & LG, Beosound 2, Beoplay M3, Beoplay A1, Beoplay H4 gen 2, Beoplay E8 3.0 Mikipedia on YouTube (finally ) https://www.youtube.com/c/Mikipedia Old: Beovision Eclipse, Beolab 1's, Beolab 2, Beovision 10-46, Overture 2300, beolab 8000's, Beolab 4000's, Beovision avant 32" etc. etc.

It's not about other brands, it's about B&O. Former models were self-servicable, this new one is not. To me this is a change for the worse. And it's not about cost. It's about a dramatically shrinking dealer network and the -sorry- rather sad prospects for the whole brand. If investing this amount of cash into a headphone I want it to last longer than the end of the warranty. Besides the ecological aspect. Regarding passive function the FAQ may say it's not possible:
But I'm not shure, if it's meant for ANC only. Time will tell.
The leaked we dev site had them at 800 GBP, and now the official price is 700 GBP.
So some but not a huge change.
And it was a dev site, so who knows how old that pricing information was?!
This is much better than what a few of us here saw when the website was leaked a few weeks ago along with the Halo. Pricing then was $1000 or $1250, I can’t recall which. It looks like they reconsidered that and priced it at $800.
Your dealer...
Seriously, we need to be careful in 2020 saying this so casually. Most people here don't have 'a dealer' anymore. Even in the UK now it's hard to find a local B&O dealer and in the US it's almost embarrassing.
And it will work with Eclipse!🙂
Can you explain more :)
I have been waiting six months for a repair man from my dealer. They had ten stores and are now one taking care of the entire region. Meaning slower than slow service. And of course it’s always an added cost when someone else has to do something that you before could easily do yourself in seconds. A surcharge on the item and service. Stupid.Seriously, we need to be careful in 2020 saying this so casually. Most people here don't have 'a dealer' anymore.

Correct unless third party dealers also will be able to.
Anyway nice to see market leading battery time (When the battery is new)
