I think you all probably know what I voted!

Nice to see a poll again🤒  One per week is just right.

24 people have voted, so far it's either an expensive paper weight, or you are never going to buy one because the previous remote are better!

I'm so surprised at the result i really am 😎 

No sorry thats unfair and biased. 25% voted a satisfactory ownership of the Beo5, but I personally can't warm to it - more so because of the way if physically feels and looks (cheap and messy imho). 

I live on my own and i weigh 20 kilos less than the TV so i need to have my faithful baton handy to be safe from unwanted visitors! 😁 Imagine waving a Beo5 at an intruder ... LOL

I bought one and my dealer gave me the software.

I broke the glass touchscreen (drunken stuper on a tiled floor) and sent it back for repair. In the 3 month turnaround (my doing not B&O's) I got cosy with the Beo4 again. I had to force myself to use it over the Beo4. However, having done so I am happy that I did.

Still, it is a pretty tall order to beat the Beo4 and I'm sure they are trying. However, I'm guessing that they have not sold many so what are B&O going to do? Keep it as a Beoliving tool, offer customisable software to the buyer or let it slip away to nothing? They have to make it more appealing than it is or can it.

The Beo5 is the first B&O product that I have regretted buying.

If you have sound only and no video products I would recommend sticking with the Beo4. The Beo4 is simpler and requires less button pushes than the Beo5.

The Beo5 really needs something to lift it to the price charged for it. At the moment it simply is a remote with a few pretty pictures on a screen. If they opened it up to third party product control I would be a lot happier.

Hi,

I think Beo5's main problem is that it does not offer a solution to browsing your N.Music.  Come this function and i'll buy one !
