That's great for such a good deal. If someone can get them as cheap as that and the shipping from Denmark to Germany isn't too much, it's too good to miss. How many do they have in stock though?

I know you like to help. This is when Beoworld makes me smile.

I wasn't smiling much when I saw this offer though - I could have saved a fortune (a very small way towards the BL90's?). If only!

Hi.

I may have a single black one for sale as I orderne one at a discountet price at Telia, and 2 from Dustin at a even lower price. The one from Telia has arrived but the two from Dustin are apparently in backorder. As soon as I have a fixed delevery date from Dustin will let the other one go. My plan was to return it within 14 days but I might as well offer it here. I just have to cover my expenses 2000 kr + shipping.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and I'm new as a B&O user :) Dave, thanks for sharing your experiences in so much detail.

What I was searching for recently, was a pair of speakers for my living room, next to my TV. I would mostly use them by connecting them to my laptop/iPad or iPhone and listen music via Spotify or Youtube. I recently went to a B&O store, just out of curiosity, and I was blown away by the amazing sound for such a small speaker. When I saw them around the corner at Telia for 2000DKK instead of 3000DKK, I was sold. I bought 2 in white today. I was almost afraid that the price was a mistake, so I haven't mentioned at the B&O store that I was going to purchase them around the corner. People who paid the full amount must be quite upset... I feel like I "saved" 2000DKK!

They are heavy and really well-build. It was a pleasure to unpack them and put them in place. Pairing them to my phone or laptop didn't take long. And after 2/3 times I also figured out how to connect them to each other. Now they are playing beautifully for a couple of hours. My first impression: I'm absolutely blown away... I listen to a lot of classical (piano) music, as well as music like live concerts of John Mayer or more bass-heavy music like Kygo (Try the track "Nothing Left" on high volume and make your friends jealous like I did haha). My music taste is quite diverse, but it all sounds amazing to me. I never had any fancy sound equipment before, so maybe it's also because I didn't have much to compare with. 

I watch a lot of movies and series via chromecast to my TV, so I think it should be possible to have the speakers play the movie-sound as well. I'm going to try that tomorrow. Otherwise I will use the cables to connect my TV with both speakers. If anyone can advice me on this, it would be very welcome.

I'm not so technical and I did not have much to compare with, but I cannot believe that I ever need to upgrade this set-up... Two S3's provide a tsunami of clear sound that makes me sit in my couch with a smile on my face. I also really love the design... they look modern and subtle and in front of a white wall you almost wonder where all that sound comes from.

So far, so good! If anyway has any questions, let me know!

 

Hi MD and welcome to Beoworld,

glad to hear, that you enjoy these small beasts.

I Find rhem pretty amazing, too!

Please read my post on the previous page about my conversation with my dealer.

Looking forward to hear, how they work, when you connect them to your tv.

MM

Well done MD

A great first post -- you are a star

And welcome 🙂

Interesting to hear what tour dealer says 😐

My dealer just shook his head and said, that he couldn't even buy them (from B&OPlay) at that price.

He adviced me to buy one from DusinHome, if I need one - that is, what he would have done ;-))

 

It seems that a product like the S3 was not meant for the traditional Bang & Olufsen dealers, but for online resellers etc

The mobilephone provider Telia (in DK) sell them for 2000 DKK three shops down the road.

DustinHome must have gotten these really cheap - probably because they ordered a lot.

 

P.S. Nothing wrong with the sound and the build-quality (at that price level) - they sound/it sounds really good.

If anyone needs a stationary bluetooth speaker (for the kitchen, bath etc) - buy it!

I can confirm this. The S3 will be distributed differently and the price will fluctuate. The dealers normally has to have all Beoplay products in their stores, but for S3 its different. Its not mandatory for a dealer to retail them.

 

I am just finished unpacking the S3 and played some tunes on it, and i am so, so happy that i bought it! 😁

So much rich and good sound from that tiny little box, i almost can't wait to tell the children what santa is going to bring them this year 😁 

The only problem now is that i have to much and i am out of room in my house 😳

Hi

Ok, have tried this with my stereo pair that arrived today, and i cant connect them in true wireless with line in!

Been trying several times and resetting them and the result is zero. The only logic i can make this then into is that it needs a digital signal to be able to perform true wireless as true wireless works with bluetooth and the usb in.

While the speakers in a steropair are well suited for my living space, it is a bummer that true stero is not working on a line in.... Will try more and if i find a "bug" i will post it here as I really wished it would be possible to make these speakers to work with an airplay configuration.

Can someone explain to me what true stereo means?

Even though I am still absolutely in love with the sound quality of my two S3's, I must say I had some stability issues today... Sometimes a song plays like it's "buffering" and one time my speakers even stopped playing (disconnected) in the middle of a song I was playing on Spotify.... Does anyone have an idea what I can do about that?

Still, I enjoyed the great sound quality for hours today, but those little instability issues are annoying... you just want something like this to work steady as a rock and now I had to re-connect a bunch of times and re-pair them etc. Grrrrrr.
