I agree with most of the comments so far.  The initial attraction is obviously the design.  You can't say "aside from the design, what's the initial attraction".  However, that's just the initial attraction.  Is there more than a pretty face?  Yes (see above).  Posts above have mentioned the decades long backward compatibility, but there's also just the longevity of their products.  The products are usually built to last, and they don't release new versions every year so you can buy without worrying too much about what's new in next year's new model.

I believe you did some pre-work on your own. Just afraid you won't hear anything you haven't (or couldn't) figured out yourself anyway. 

You're right in that I did some research prior to posting this thread. It would be wrong if I didn't do my due diligence and relied on everyone hear to do my work for me. As to your point on fear of figuring out things I already know, I disagree, I think it's important to my project to learn from people who use B&O products, what makes them special to them, and why they choose x-brand over y-brand. Thank you everyone for entertaining this thread, you've been super helpful in explaining what makes B&O so special!

I know I've asked a lot from y'all, and have learned a lot along the way, but I'm curious to know if anyone would be willing to hop on a call with me for like 15min this week? This project ends in about 2 weeks and I still have some work cut out for me.

Thank you!
