This looks like they spent all of 5 minutes on design.  Why would you ever want this on your wall?  It looks terrible.  Talk about a wall wart.

Rather better with the Beo5 in it!

 

Can you use the touch screen while on the wall charger?

Does it not light up?

Will the Beo5 fall on the floor if I try and press the screen while on the charger? 

can anybody confirm the wallcharger in Week 42? I called my dealer today and he doesn't know anything about it?!

 

Would be nice if B&O is offering two versions:

- the "active" with charging functionality

- the "passive" that just acts as a wallbracket like for the Beo 4

 

 

 

To my knowledge the Beo5 can be operated while placed in the wall charger in the same way that it can be operated in the table charger. Operation in the charger is the reason for the design of the charger being able to support the back part of the alu ball during operation to prevent it from being pushed out of the charger.

Does it light up? Yes - when you touch the glass or alu ball it will light up. But since the power usage of the backlight is rather big, the backlight will not stay on while placed in the charger. It will dim as it does in the table charger.

IMHO the wall charger looks nice in real life.

This is a Early sample 🙁.... the real thing looks nothing like this. Instead think BL8000 cone in small version and placed beo5 on it.

 

Hello Sheeps ... Someone has given you fake & early sample images 😂

How could you believe that B&o would have use cheap plastics for its wall-charger ?
It's of course iron made ..
With the information of Stig, it could look like this...
don't be a sheep 😁
