Amazing design but priced a little too high to be an automatic buy for many people. My set up would really benefit from a Halo. Right now, I have a docked iPad Pro running the B&O App as a remote for my B&O music. It is also all aluminum and glass and including the wireless Logitech BASE dock, the Halo costs hundreds of dollars more! It is still tempting. The Beoplay H95 on the other hand was an easy buy for me...you pay more, you get more. O well...still getting that itch for the Halo.

To make it easer for you to pull the plug on the Halo, just learned the B&O increased the price for the BeoRemote One dramatically (at least in Germany, new MSRP is 300 Euro!!!

There is probably no good rationale explanation why one would spend ca 700$ on a volume remote control. I am now having tough discussions with the FS (wife), as she states ‘you buy Halo I say Hejdå (goodbye) 😁

Just checked. The Halo is a staggering C$1200 in Canada? 😲

They are just balancing the Loonie against the US Dollar to protect commerce across the "soft" border, as if it mattered.

Don’t forget that b&o gets imported through the US to canada and american import taxes apply to b&o in canada too... that’s partially why the prices are extra silly overthere😮

Probably little different from EU.  What you seem to be calling import taxes, we call sales and use taxes and are paid on one side of the border; not both, and I have lived on both sides. Depending on which state, province, or commonwealth you live in, between US and Canada, it's probably a wash on consumer goods. Autos is a very different story. At the end of the day, Halo costs a whole lot of dollars, Canadian or US.

I saw the Halo at my dealer on Saturday, and although I was already intrigued since the first leaked video it didn’t disappoint at all, knowing that some people do not like it.

I would have a very limited use-case for my BS1, as my other B&O products are too old, but I still want to have one. That it is a great achievement.

And then my dealer came up with the great idea that I need a Core as well for my BS9000 😀

I love his enthusiasm.

“I have to work on my core” I tell my wife in return

To be continued, and please do see the Halo IRL it is amazingly cool.

Oh dear, B&O has just lost control of their name "Halo" for an electronic device . . .
