Can't quite remember,.... but does "Bang & Olufesn" branding blatantly ever appear on BeoPlay products as such?

The stylised "BANG & OLUFSEN" logo never appears on Play products – only the classic "B&O" symbol is used on them, and only them. On packaging "B&O PLAY by BANG & OLUFSEN" (set in Gotham) has been used, although I'm not sure if that's still the case with the new style packaging.

Yeah exactly - I just checked my E8 packaging and the only mention of "Bang & Olufsen" is in tiny writing on the bottom - just has the B&O Play logo everywhere else.

How can you tell they're fake? Easy, the wifi works! 😎
