New H9 ... is that the H9i?

I’m confused πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

I logged on to the b&o website and it says β€œThe New H9”

I thought the new H9 was the H9i?

Or is the H9 the new H9i (that was previously the H9 going back to its original name)?

Yep.. H9 -> H9i -> H9 :-)

If you're confused, think of how confused the average end user must be!

I was in London City Airport recently with time on my hands and saw the H9 slightly discounted at 'Dixons'. But, I had no idea if this was the new H9 or old H9. Or no easy way of checking, perhaps apart from the date on the box. No idea why they had to call another version the "H9i" and then sell them both together! And why isn't there a H8 and H8i? 😠

But see above. Not quite correct as they are promoting both H9 and H9i separately. That's why it's even more confusing.

Then you have the E6 and E6 Motion etc etc. I saw a reply from B&O on Facebook recently from a potential customer asking what's the difference between the E6 and E6 Motion and their reply was "technically the same". So, you have to ask, why two versions of the same product then?

Exactly Moxxey, i also did think about how the average customer must feel. 

 

And yes, haha, why two versions of the same product if they are 'technically the same' 

 

Lets set out and confuse the world :-)
