Hi guys,

 

Here's my problem...I have found in a second hand shop a brand new beosound 2 for a small price.

But...

Is it possible that's a fake one? On the powersupply I saw "Bang & Olufsen Japan"...

They sell a brown box, with the beosound2 + Usb + power supply + earset + cover...

Did you have some pics of other info that I can check ???

Many thanks for your help !

To my knowledge there were no fake BS2s. You would see them en mass on ebay.

 

The A8 earset was faked in different varitations and you can still find them for cheap on ebay.

 

See here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZMKFHYAY7U

 

and http://forum.beoworld.org/forums/p/7702/58419.aspx#58419 , 

 

Original pictures of the BS2 are easy to find, for example here

Good luck

Hey Jonathan,

Trust you're well.  Is that for a new BS2?

Regards

Michael.

I too got the email - that is for the BeoSound 2 MP3 player ... and this is what the text of the letter said as an explanation (with my emphasis):

Dear Edward,

With the new financial year upon us and an exciting range of new Bang & Olufsen products set to be released in the coming months, it is time to clear some space in our showroom! This means that Bang & Olufsen is now offering select ex-demonstration products across our range of televisions, audio systems, loudspeakers, telephones and accessories at very special prices. Below are just some of the products currently available at heavily reduced prices:

Makes me wonder if they are re-launching a portable MP3 player for their new channel of stores for entry customers !

Interesting indeed.  

Ed does this mean you will rush out and get a back up BS2?  I think from memory you love that little jigger.

Michael.
