Does anyone know what it is? From the very brief teaser video, it looks like it may be Bluetooth earbuds, as a best guess.

I noticed this. I was going to pull the trigger on another pair of AW17 H5's and then that came through. Anyone have any ideas?

With the category’s increasing ubiquity, it’s an obvious gap in the current headphone range. Hopefully not just wishful thinking!

New Bluetooth buds wouldn't surprise me. I personally have never really got on that well with the h5s due to a relative lack of bass compared to h3s which I still prefer.

Could it be the M5 speakers little brother?

Bluetooth buds I reckon. Quite exited if they're a viable alternative to Apple's AirPods as I'm most likely going to move to a headphone jack-less iPhone next month!

Very doubtful Chris although I hope I am wrong because it would be B&O every time for sound reproduction for me. But I don't believe they have the resources to throw at a W1 chip for example that Apple do.

Their money would be better spent on researching product design... which they certainly need to! I would stop using Lewis Designers and make a fresh start with new, young up and coming designers working alongside universities developing groundbreaking projects collaboratively and funding that research. I can't help but feel they are so stuck in the past and almost 'nervous' to try something new.

I think it could be easily possible for B&O to produce wire-free earbuds as there are quite a few other companies doing the same: link

Earin has pre-announced their M-2 which is supposed to be fantastic:
