Blue Beoplay A1: Fake?

33 replies

Hi,

I've just found a blue A1 on ebay Germany. I guess it is a fake as there's still no blue version listed on Beoplay sites!?

Yes. Fake. There’s a few of these around now πŸ‘ŽπŸΌ

Crazy how they get away with it. Someone buys it then thinks B&O makes crap. 

That was my first thought, too.

As I'm curious I've searched and just found it in the Apple store, too:

Surely Apple stores don't sell fakes....must be genuine.

Amazon sells fakes, too... that's why I'm curious. πŸ˜•

The color seems to be MUCH better than on the blue A2 - at least according to the photos.

Now that *is* odd. I've seen this bright blue one before (there's an off-green version too) as a fake. Even watched a YouTube video on them.

I quite like that blue one, actually. Wonder why it's exclusive to Apple? Bright RED makes sense. But, blue?

I've seen the cobalt blue A1 in person at my local Apple store. It's truly a gorgeous color. It must be an exclusive for Apple.

I've also seen (and bought) a very unique olive Form 2 headphones with orange B&O logo at my local brick and mortar Urban Outfitters.

I wish BeoPlay would promote these exclusives somewhere, so you know they are available. I bet there are others out there.
