Wireless Earset 3i?

Just had a Beoplay app update with the changelog that said "Adds support for new products". Just went to the add product section and noticed a new wireless Earset option in the bottom right next to the P6. Are these already out? :o 

But the app no longer works for Essence 1 so, if my logic is correct, something else will get kicked to the curb.

Looks nice. I hope they release it in the classic B&O color scheme black + silver, too! All brown parts in silver will look more B&O and timeless. :)

My thoughts exactly. I went to a local dealer yesterday for a first look (and planning to buy a silver set) only to learn there isn't one!!

Silver is tough to do in plastic at €300.

Should you not be using the Bang & Olufsen app for the Essence 1 though rather than the BeoPlay app?

Silver colored plastic is easily made... especially at €300. ;) But I'm referring to the brown metal parts. If Bang & Olufsen releases a version with the natural silver aluminium parts of the white version with the black plastics of the black version it would look great. 
I tried it with Photoshop:

 

 

 

This is the color variant I'm waiting for! 🙂

You are correct. I should have said the Bang & Olufsen app no longer works at all on the essence.

You photoshop people are scary!!! This is an interesting evolution of the earset 2, as well. Plus, now you don't need to worry about them being Chinese knock-offs.

Review of the Wireless Earset from the Verge.

Not pleasant reading.

Does make you wonder about the wisdom of B&O releasing so many products, especially in the headphone space, where there are many competitors.

The battery only can last 5 hours like H5😓😓
