Great Facebook post B&O Play pointing to Beats

21 replies

I can't copy above link, but bottom line is that Beats headphones have additional weights in them (1/3 of total weight) , i found it a nice pun from B&O

Nice one! 😁

That's a great post :-) 

Copying Samsung's tactics. Firstly, NEVER put down a competitor in business, it shows that you are weak.

Secondly, this H6 doesn't even work properly with smartphones due to its lack of sound volume.

Thirdly, Beats Pro's are far superior in construction and sound quality. There is NOTHING special about the H6 with its lifeless sound.

They shouldn't compare themselves to any other brand when they can't even make a Bluetooth pair of headphones that actually work properly. Maybe they are aimed at the Moment customer!

Lastly, B&O NEED Apple's support in order to sell their Play products at Apple stores. Never bite the hand that provides the five course meals!

Seriously, whoever has made that advert is an absolute idiot! They provide a link with shows a trade price breakdown on BEATS. 

B&O are RELIANT on the Apple store for a HUGE HUGE HUGE percentage of their sales. Whoever has OK'd this ad needs firing immediately. The damage that this could do to B&O and their Apple relationship could end this company!

What a horrible tit for tat marketing campaign. Maybe B&O have been bought by Samsung? It's certainly the same form of desperate marketing.

Hi Paul,

You have a point but I actually quite liked the pun regarding weights of the headphone itself.

Maybe the have overdone it a bit.

I second your opinion on the H6, the reason why I didn't buy them.

Don't bite the Apple, otherwise you got big problems with Paul ..................... it just made me laugh out loud

They are actually extremely valid points.

A salesman/company should never criticise a competitor to make themselves look stronger - if this is done, it has the opposite effect.

I've never had a problem with my H6's and those who have used them all prefer them over Beats and many other makes.

As for the H8's - what a disaster and if any other company sees this B&O attempt to denegrate another make - god help them if those companies do the same with their superior performing/reliable Bluetooth headphones over the H8.

It wouldn't surprise me if this Facebook post vanishes pretty quickly - as it should.

Dave.

😂 - perhaps you can link us to some creditable reviews that back this up!

 

 

I do however agree with never putting down a competitor in business, a tactic for which your beloved Apple has a long history!
