BeoGreg,

let my save up for a couple of years then, and we can have that talk about the keyring remote😂

Hej DanTop, currently BeoCreate speakers don't appear in the Bang & Olufsen app. It would make a lot of sense though and is high on the BeoCreate team's wishlist, however there is a lot of other higher priority things coming to the app first.

Hi Christophe, 

Sorry to hear that you got so tired of it all as well. Welcome to the club(thread)! And I am most happy my initial thoughts gave you a reason to log in and share your opinion once again👍🏻 

No doubt that a phone to control B&O products is far away from the true DNA, then again it is convinient in many ways. But surely nothing beats a proper unit sitting in it’s place permanently. 

I also have a hard time to accept the new Beoremote One. It’s not even close to a Beo4 in feel of quality. 

Hi Lyle, so they are controlled like any other bluetooth speaker then? From the bluetooth settings and normal pairing I assume. 

Doesnt feel so much B&O but non the less gives the option of at least bringing out the old Beovox and use them even if ones old mein unit is broken or sold. I still call that better than nothing. 

Surely a proper app controlled option will arise sooner or later. 

Hej DanTop, correct, and for the more technologically adventurous souls more sources can be added via the Raspberry Pi side of things to give some options beyond Bluetooth. Agree that this is not 'B&O enough' yet. To reach that bar we need to make things much simpler, and this is really just baby steps.

Just curious, what would you like to see first, ReCreate'd speakers appearing in the app (not multiroom, just the settings, like a normal Bluetooth speaker) or direct control via an Essence Remote?

Lyle,

Since we're so lucky to have you participating in this forum and you brought up the Essence remote....

It would be really great to have someone at B&O elaborate more on the settings of the Essence remote -- including the undocumented extra option settings -- in the Essence documentation on the BeoIntegration site. The description of the various option settings is rather sparse.

Beovox141, perhaps not a better speaker bit at least a more usefull speaker.

A lot of people love the old design but still want to have the convenience of the modern wireless versions. I think Beocreate is still better tahn nothing, to make it easier to enjoy the old design with the more modern units we all have   

So why not do it right instead of "as difficult as possible" I have had active CX 100 with Powerlink connections for 15 years and a wireless version for the last two years..  It really is very simple.

 

 

Hey Lyle, maybe not what you want to hear, but the possibility to update the CX or RL speakers from passive to active, with DSP crossovers, WISA and/ or Powerlink connectivity would be awesome if it can be reasonably accomplished. To me anyway. 😁

I wonder how many - different - descriptions of ‘the B&O DNA’ we would see, if all forum members had to answer that question.

And, when talking about ‘the old B&O DNA’....is there ‘new B&O DNA’?

Why talking about ‘old DNA’?

As far as I am concerned evolution changes DNA - DNA is not static....and ‘B&O DNA’ never was.

MM

Whatever you call it, and judging by the continual shop closures, it’s broke. It doesn’t even make products that set us on fire, let alone the public or the sceptical audiophiles.
