I have been told by a source close to B&O that Beosound 1 was going to be discontinued in the not so distant future. He was not sure about whether the Beosound 2 would also follow, and what the reasons behind the Beosound 1 being discontinued were. My guess is a combination of high price for its performance or compared to its nearest competitors the Level and Beosound 2, combined with perhaps customer demands vs. prioritization of their supply chain under the current global strain. I am slightly concerned about the Beosound 2 coming to the same fate, since I am just looking at getting one as my next speaker in my Beolink+Mozart multiroom setup. He wasn’t sure if a newer version was being planned. I have the impression that the Beosound 2 (and probably also 1) have been much loved among B&O customers. But maybe interest has fallen in light of the Mozart products. If I look at the availability of the Beosound 2 on bang-olufsen.com, with the exception of the Bronze version all the colour options without Google Assistant are sold out. As for Beosound 1, I cannot recall any new colour option since the Sapphire edition that was limited to 10 pieces.
Does anyone have more information?
