Final Edition Beolab 5 and Beolab 3

41 replies
Dear all

Received an email from my dealer with the information that the Beolab 5 and Beolab 3 are EOL.
Therefore B&O is producing a special edition in polished aluminium instead of brushed.


Here the email in German:


Seit ihrer Einführung im Jahr 2004 sind die Beolab 5 und Beolab 3 zu echten Bang & Olufsen Symbolen geworden. Die stetige Weiterentwicklung hat dazu gesorgt, dass die Beolab 5 und Beolab 3 in Ihrem Umfeld zur Referenzklasse gehören.
Bang & Olufsen hat sich für die letzte Produktionsauflage nochmals ein spezielle Designvariante ausgedacht. Die Oberfläche der akustischen Linse ist wie bei den Beolab 18 Lautsprecher aus hochglanz und hat daher nochmals eine eleganteren Eindruck erhalten.

Really cool! Looking forward to lower price on these on the resell market. Still very expensive for used equipment only because they still are current.

Maybe the prices even go up - they are both popular speakers.

P.S. I'd like to see a white BL3 with the shiny lens;-)

so sad... another iconic B&O product fades out...

Probably just to make place for something new ;-)

MM, sounds like you have some interesting info -- care to share some hints? 😐

Yes, given their current 'direction' a 70's style large, wood paneled full of drivers is probably in the works.. Hmm I believe something like that exists.. the Bose 901!

A serious note, this was coming as the last of the David Lewis era are done.

The Beolab 5 will be a massive loss to the lineup

R.I.P. Beolab 5 😠

Any insights whether white will be available?
